Outstanding exfoliant for those with dry or sensitive skin August 30, 2008
I'm so glad I found this product (by reading the reviews here and on a beauty product site). I've been really frustrated in my search for a *very* gentle exfoliating product since I have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea. Because of the dryness, my skin can get flakey, and invariably, using a washcloth or exfoliating product would make things worse. I almost gave up and accepted my flakey fate until this lovely product came along.
It's an unusual rice-based powder that must be mixed with water before use. The directions say, "after cleansing, dispense about a half-teaspoon of Daily Microfoliant into very wet hands and create a creamy paste by rubbing hands together..."
I don't follow the instructions exactly, as I use a bit more water to create a slightly foamier version before putting it on my face, which seems to work well for me. I did have to add a step to my cleansing routine by first using Dermalogica's "Essential Cleansing Solution," (which seems to be basically a nicer version of liquid Cetaphil), and then finishing off with the microfoliant.
This has worked quite well for me and has been keeping my skin smoother while not making my skin dry (as I had hoped). I also love the fact that Dermalogica products are fragrance-free and well-packaged.
Wonderful Product, not Hype June 10, 2008

This product really does what it says. I have been using it for years and my skin is in fact noticably smoother and not as acne prone as it used to be. It has also helps to even-tone my african-american skin. Makeup goes on better, sometimes I can even go without, like today. I use only 1 tsp. daily, in the AM in place of a cleanser. It foams and "cleans" my skin pretty much, removing oil and other overnight residue. I also sometimes use a little less H20 to make a paste and apply it as a mask. My bottle lasted me a year in a cool dry place to prevent it from gumming up. Highly recommended and worth the price.

I had a SPA owner recommend this to me. I thought how could it be better than the others. She gave me a sample and WOW it is great. You skin feels smooth and soft. I think it helps even out the skin tones also. It really is a great product and you use so little it should last a long time.

I have finally decided to try this product after running out of the Gentle Cream Exfoliant. Admittedly, it was laziness that prevented me from trying this product in the first place. The thought of having to mix this into a paste-like consistency seemed too much of an effort, when I could easily use the Gentle Cream Exfoliant straight from the tube.
After using this a few times and getting used to the application, which isn't actually difficult, I have found this product truly wonderful. This rice-based enzyme powder contains plant derived ingredients that help brighten skin, leaving it looking refreshed. The Licorice extract known for its lightening properties will also assist in evening the skin tone. This is even better than the Gentle Cream Exfoliant, which I have loved for many years. My combination skin absolutely loves this product. This product is very gentle and would suit even the most sensitive skin. I have combination skin and use this twice a week.
To use this, mix a teaspoon with some lukewarm water until you get a paste-like, not watery, consistency. Massage the mixture onto your skin for about a minute, then rinse the remaining product. Look in the mirror and see the remarkable result that this product gives your skin. Absolutely fabulous!
Best Facial Pore Cleaning Product January 25, 2008

A local beauty salon carried this product and so I requested a sample of the Daily Microfoliant. In just two uses 95% of my blackheads were removed. I have the largest pores a person can possibly have and cannot recall a product this good. About one month ago I purchased the Biore pore strips, which in comparison is not as good. Moreover I was getting tired of having to wear the Biore strips for 18 minutes and experienced dryness and had funky residue on my face after each use. I do have very sensitive mature (I am in my 30s) and oily skin with the occasional hormonal-related breakout and experienced a hint of dryness in an already particularly sensitive part of my face. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to know whether today's 21 degree temperature is responsible for the dryness or if it is in fact the product. Nonetheless, the experience is positive enough for me to try other products Dermologica carries. The cost of this product is about the same for the similar facial products I purchase at Whole Foods anyway.
