I was so excited to receive this in the top rated beauty box. I have sensitive skin and I am prone to rosacea on my cheeks so I can be quite wary of trying exfoliants so the Dermalogica 13g travel size is a prefect introduction.
The microfoliant is packaged in the typical Dermalogica white container with a grey screw off lid. Underneath the lid are two rather large holes for getting the product out but be careful as it can be quite easy to tip too much out.
I use this in the mornings after I have cleansed my face. I tip out a small amount of powder onto the palms of my hands and rub together to form a nice lather. ( Hands need to be wet first) I then massage onto my face and rinse off. It’s surprising how creamy its texture it is, not at all harsh like some other exfoliants. I have not experienced any burning sensations or nasty reactions from using this.
I find even with my sensitive skin using this everyday so far has not caused any problems with increased redness or sensitivity. I have noticed that my moisturiser absorb better into my skin and my skin tone actually looks more even and brighter even after only a week of use.
I think I will cut back to using this 2/3 times a week as it is rather expensive and I want to make it last as long as possible. I definitely recommend this product.
I have used up a couple of full sized product and I have also recieved a few large sample sizes as well. The small sample sizes are great for travel and last a fair while as well. The exfoliant is a dry white powder- I expected it to scratch the skin off like most exfoliants but I was wrong! It is an enzyme exfoliant so it dissolves the dead skin away- no scratchy exfolianting here which is much better for your face. I usually wash my face, rinse and while wet massage a couple of shakes over my face. I use it daily when I'm feeling congested or just 2/3 times a week if my skin is good.
Tips: Take the lid off the container before you start- it's hard to remove with a dripping wet face and dripping wet hands! Also right before you put it on your face- don't breathe in! I did and the powder went up my nose and in my mouth- not overly pleasant!
