Face To Face With Violett: Product Review: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant & Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth

This is a review of the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant and the Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

The Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is described as "Gentle, daily use exfoliating powder for all skin conditions. Unique Rice-based powder formula activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes that micro-exfoliate dead cells, instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter. Our unique Skin Brightening Complex helps to balance uneven skin pigmentation while a super-soothing blend of Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal helps to calm the skin, leaving it extraordinarily clear and refreshed. Gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Not recommended for users of medically-prescribed exfoliation products. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors."

Price: $52 for 2.6oz

This may seem a bit pricy but for a professional line product it's a great price. Since this product is concentrated, you will use a lot less product. You will be using about a ½ a teaspoon each time so this product should last you a long time. Also, if you're exfoliating properly each day, you will use less moisturizer because it will be able to penetrate more easily.

Formula

This formula is a rice-based formula and it's activated by water. I really like the gentle exfoliating it provides although some people that have to have that super-abrasive feeling when they exfoliate might need something different.

The salycilic in this product is going to shed cells and get inside your pores and clean them out as well as eat any surface oils. Say goodbye to those breakouts because this ingredient will shed cells over microcomodones(the start of zits) and prevent breakouts. The papain in this product is going to lighten hyperpigmentation by shedding the skin on dark spots. The papain will help even your skin tone.

This product aslo contains Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal which is a super-soothing blend to calm the skin.

This is does not just exfoliate our skin but treats your skin at the same time. What an amazing combination of ingredients.

Results

I do think this product adequately exfoliates and does make your skin soft and smooth. I've also noticed my face is completely rid of all oil after exfoliating and I am less oily throughout the day. I do use significantly less moisturizer when exfoliating with this product every day.

Where To Buy

Ulta, Sephora or facial clinics that carry the line such as Massage Retreats

Overall Assessment

This product provides adequate exfoliating, is gentle enough to use every day and also has added benefits. It's also great for any skin type. I do think that people that need to have that abrasive feeling need something different but then they couldn't exfoliate every day and they wouldn't get these great benefits so I'd give it a 9 out of 10.

Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth

The Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth is described as "A hygienic exfoliating cloth to buff and polish the body to silky perfection. Use with Conditioning Body Wash to clean and exfoliate rough, dull skin in even the most hard-to-reach areas. Perfectly-sized for scrubbing the back and keeping skin super smooth. Made from extra-durable Nylon fiber that rinses clean and dries quickly."

Price: $15

This is certainly a great price for a product that lasts forever and is hygenic. The loofas I've had do not last long enough and I probably buy a few a year. This has so many uses and benefits it's definitely a steal for $15.

Product Details

The buffing cloth is super-exfoliating and leaves your body feeling soft and smooth. This is going to lead to better moisture absorption and will also prevent ingrown hairs and breakouts. You can also use it to exfoliate your ears and behind your ears. It's large enough to reach around your back and the nylon fiber is durable. This is quick drying so no need to worry about bacteria growth and it's easier then to bring with you when you travel or to the gym.

Results

I've noticed a drastic decrease in ingrown hairs that I'd get from waxing. Now I don't get any at all. The exfoliating results prevent them and I'm soft all day long. The moisturizer is obviously penetrating because my legs don't look dry halfway through the day. My ears are free of closed and open comodones(blackheads and pimples and my back has become less irritated and itchy from dryness.

Where To Buy

Ulta, Sephora or facial clinics that carry the line such as Massage Retreats

Overall Assessment

Well I'm throwing out my loofa for good and recommending this to all my body waxing clients. This is the perfect solution to breakouts on the back and dry skin on the body. I am very pleased with the durability and would give it a 10 out of 10.
