5.0 out of 5 stars Silky Smooth Face May 29, 2004

By A Customer

Size Name:2.6 fl oz

After an esthetician at Glen Ivy Spa in Corona, CA used this on me during a facial I had, I fell in love immediately. I had been searching for a great exfoliant that I could use to help me eliminate the dead skin on my face and the blackheads on the sides of my nose. As she explained it, the papain is a natural ingredient that removes the dead skin and therefore is much safer than exfoliant scrubs. Not only is it safer than scrubs, but it is safe and gentle enough for everyday use. After I came out of the facial, I noticed my blackheads were gone and my face was silky smooth once again. She said that blackheads formed because dead skin would be lodged into pores and as more and more dead skin continues to block the pores, they turn black and become the enemy, blackheads. By using this powder when mixed with water becomes a cream, it will help prevent the reoccurence of blackheads and your skin feels smooth again too. It costs a pretty penny, but your face will thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the BEST July 16, 2007

By KC Winslow

Size Name:2.6 fl oz

I love to exfoliate. My face, my body, my hands and my feet are all subject to frequent scrubbing down. With this love has come a mission: to find the best exfoliant ever made. In the case, at least of my facial exfoliater, I have found it. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is amazing.

Dermalogica is a dermatologist recommended line of skincare products that you won't find in your local drugstore. Dermalogica rarely advertises and relies mainly on word of mouth. Their website can help you locate retailers. I first learned of the Dermalogica line while getting a facial. The aesthetician recommended it highly and told me where to find it. A month later (after my wallet had recovered from the facial) I went to the store and picked up my first container of the Daily Microfoliant.

As its name implies, the Daily Microfoliant is gentle enough for daily use, but don't go thinking that means it is wimpy. This stuff seriously gets the job done. Unlike most exfoliants, the Daily Microfoliant comes as a powder. After cleansing, with your face still a little damp, you shake a little of the powder into your hand and mix it with a small amount of water so that it forms a paste. Then you massage in small circles over your face for a minute. The first time I did it, I was worried because it felt so gentle, I didn't think it could possibly have the result I wanted, but when I rinsed it off, my face felt like it had been sandblasted (in a good way!).

The best aspects of this product are that it has nothing artificial in it, it works better than any exfoliant I've ever used and one bottle lasts between 4-5 months with daily use. The only downfalls are that it is a bit pricey (but it really does last for a long time) and it can take a few tries to get the hang of using the powder.

The best testament to how I feel about this product is that my mom and sister both got a bottle for the holidays!

1.0 out of 5 stars a cheaper alternative January 31, 2010

I understand the basic premiss. I have used a very similar product by shiseido, that I feel was strongly based on the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.

Here's the skinny: (and I am dead serious this works fabulously) I use white rice flour or sweet rice flour for extra sensitive skin. It can be used to cleans and or leave on (like a mask) for 15-20-mins and wiped off w/ a damp cloth.

you can recycle and clean any large shaker for cheese or spices to dispense from the bulk amount of rice flour.

compair white rice flour at $2.00 a LBs to $36.00 plus S/H for 2.60z

A chemist once told me when I was 13-yrs old and in love w/ Noxzema, that the best skin care products, are things you can eat. Because our skin eats what we put on it. How cam it really digest all the chemicals and waxes, etc????

Another cool idea: roes water, cucumber juice or aloe vera juice put into travel size spray bottles, make great skin toners. (just remember to always keep them refrigerated and check their freshness, before each use.

I hope some ppl think this is useful - : )
