Buy this product and you will feel like you had a facial, seriously. I have used it twice and my skin felt ultra soft. This kit is easy to use, simply rub the crystals on your face for about 1-2 minutes. The crystals are like a salt scrub. Then put the peel serum directly on top of the crystals and rub for about 1 minute (it will feel warm on your skin). Then rinse throughly with warm water. Less than 5 minutes and you are finished! The kit looks like you could use it 10-20 times before running out. Be careful not to get it near your nostrils and eyes. After using this kit, my pores were less noticable and my skin wasn't red like most products will do. For $30, it isn't too expensive and you will actually save money by not going to a spa for a monthly facial.

I hemmed and hawed over buying this, spending 15 minutes looking at it in the drugstore before deciding to buy it. Then I had to literally run to the register and pay before I changed my mind. I'm glad I did.
I didn't know what to expect, since I've never used a microdermabrasion product before. I have no regrets. This seemed to lift a veil of dullness from my face, even as I was massaging in the tiny crystals, which are the first half of the treatment. Both elements of the treatment smell divine. I recommend this product to anyone who is on a tight budget, or dosen't have time to skip off to a dermatologists office over their lunch break (like the beauty magazines nonchalantly suggest) for a professional chemical peel.
The missing star is due to the high price. I think that there are similar products on the market available for 7-10 dollars less, though I can't vouch for their effectiveness. All in all, however, a nice product I will purchase again without buyers remorse!

I got this in my Christmas stocking and didn't expect too much, but I used it and was floored. The first time you use it, you will be surprised at how much better you look afterwards, but the coolest part is, if you keep using it twice a week, you will notice all old scars or uneven spots gone, no more flaky skin, and a total glow. Before, I always used St Ives apricot scrub-let me tell you...NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. After using this, you will not use anything else-oh, and the yummy smell is awesome!

I can't handle reviews with hype so I have to write something. I bought this at Costco but this price seems fair. I love this stuff. My skin felt exfoliated, felt fresh and very very clean. I still have large poors and wrinkles and sun spots. Even so, I called my sister and told her to get it. It's better then any mask, mud or home treatment I've used.

I read about this product in the Parenting magazine and decided to give it a try. After the first use itself, I saw wonderful results. Skin feels so soft and supple and it seems like those blemishes are hidden.I use it every week and I recommend it for anyone who does not have the time to go out for those one hour facials every other week but can manage to spend a few minutes in the shower using this product.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 starts is because I observed that you have to very gently rub the product into your skin and if you are not very gentle, you might end up with red spots or a burnt skin. This happened a couple of times but now I am very careful and very gentle whil rubbing this product into my skin. I still highly recommend it.

I was really skeptical about trying this because as usual why would something off the shelf work? But I am impressed and really satisfied with the results! I know my skin well and I have aggressive skin so I used the product every other day. I wish I had taken before and after photos because it has done miracles. I have acne prone skin as well and have continued to use Proactive Solution for that, although gently. This product made my skin firm and shrinked my pores and I am confident that it is the only over the counter product that will give you professional results. I have stopped wasting money on facials, although facials are good, but this product give me the glow I need on a daily basis! The underlying factor about dermabrasion is to remove dead skin andthis product does that-just be careful if you have sensitive skin, you really should then follow the instuctions carefully. Also, I was debating between this and the Nuetrogena product, but went with Olay Regenerist because it was about $10 bucks cheaper, given that Nuetrogena gives one cream and that gadget thing, and Olay has a cream and a pealing serum and you do the work with you fingers, which i really do prefer.

To call this product microdermabrasion is misleading. It's more like a nice scrub/exfoliant. Compared to professional dermatological microdermabrasion, this product is very mild/light.
That said, it seems like a good product that will yield many applications out of the bottles. I like that you apply it with your fingertips and don't need some kind of battery powered applicator like other home kits, which can be a bit dangerous to use.
Although the granules are very fine and probably quite safe, you probably still don't want to rub them into your skin that hard nor very often. Doing so may cause permanent damage to your skin (redness, etc). Sure, you want to exfoliate, but you do not want to do any damage so please use it gently.
I think this product does a good job of exoliating your skin and can be considered a good product for that. But it should in no way be compared to professional level microdermabrasion which you get done in a dermatologist's office; the effects of that will be much more noticeable and pronounced.

I have used this twice along with the other products in the Regenerist line. My skin is very,very soft!
It smells fantastic! Like oranges.
The only thing I dont like about it is when you apply the derma-crystals (step one) you have to rub it in for a minute and it really is uncomfortable! It feels just like rubbing sand on your face.
The first time I used it I felt like I had a "sunburn feel" on my face. But it went away after a couple days. I follow this with the Daily Serum.

I am almost 40 & I have used facial scrubs for years. I would use them weekly and I always saw and felt an improvement on my face. I found this product on Ebay and decided to try it. It is sooo much better than a regular scrub. I have always had awful white heads around my chin and when you put your makeup on it tends to look icky... The first time my face did feel a little burning but only the first time that I used it. Now I use it 1-2 times a week and my makeup goes on so smooth. I just don't use it when I have a fresh zit, like today : (
I have acne prone skin and it doesn't make me breakout anymore or less with this product. I live in a dry climate and use Olay Total effects after treatment and my skin feels just fine.
