Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator

When it comes to skin care, many people consider Dermalogica to be one of the best brands you can use to get beautiful looking skin. However, for whatever reason, it has been a brand that I have completely overlooked. The daily microfoliant exfoliator is the first product I have used from the Dermalogica range. Shock Horror, I know!!

I am a huge fan of daily exfoliators, but the daily microfoliant exfoliator is a little different from any daily exfoliator I have used before. It is a Rice-based powder that you mix with water to make a paste to exfoliate your skin. It is recommended that you dispense a half tea spoon of the powder onto wet hands and mix together to get a paste. As I normally exfoliate my skin while I am in the shower in the morning, at first I found this powder to be a bit of a disaster. I kept dispensing too much product, or my hands were far too wet. However, once I got used to it I found it handy to have in the shower to exfoliate my skin. I would however recommend, that you use a little more than half a teaspoon and have damp hands rather than soaking wet hands to work up a good paste.

It is recommended to massage the paste into you’re skin in circular motions for a minute, but let’s be far, I personally haven’t got the time for that in the shower and a quick scrub does me.

It is difficult to describe the texture of the daily microfoliant exfoliator. Most exfoliators that I have used in the past have been grainy and what you would think of as a traditional scrub. However, even though this is an exfoliator there are little or no scrubbing particles in the paste. The paste instead gently buffs the surface of the skin to get rid of the dead skin. It is said to not only does it get rid of skin, but it helps brighten up the skin to make it look more radiant, while at the same time giving the skin a more even tone. While it does smooth out the skin and brighten it, I personally don’t find any drastic results, but it does do what it says on the tin.

The daily microfoliant is said to be gentle enough to use everyday, however, my skin broke out big time when I did use it everyday. I have now pulled it back to every second day and I seem to have the breakout under control.

While I do like the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator, I am not completely blown away by it. To be fair, it is a good product and one that I know a lot of people swear by, but for me I prefer something a little more grainy, like the Philosophy Micro delivery daily exfoliator.  It does buff away the dead skin and your skin does look brighter, but I personally just prefer the results from the Philosophy daily exfoliator. It is a personal choice, rather than a problem with the product. You will still see results fro the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator.

The Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator is also good value, as you get 75g of product, that will certainly last for a long time.
