Intensive, but powerful
volta (516 reviews)

Anytime my skin starts to make its track back to normalcy after a breakout, I like to use a good exfoliant to remove all the dead skin that usually follows. I received a deluxe sample of this microdermabrasion scrub and it's very powerful. The lemon scent is quite pleasant, but for anyone with sensitive skin, this scrub might be a little too harsh for your skin, especially when you have to scrub for 1-2 minutes as directed. Naturally, cleanse your face prior to using this and make sure you use a nice thick moisturizer afterwards. I recommend that you use this at night rather than in the morning because it can temporarily make your face blotchy and red like after a facial. I prefer a nice thick firming night cream to follow. You're supposed to wait 3 days in between uses as the grains do feel harsh. I wouldn't compare this to a real microdermabrasion (obviously), but it's a powerful exfoliant that's going to do it's job and remove all the dead or dry flakes from your face. If I could compare it, I would compare it to Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate line. This scrub is quite expensive, as is Kate's, but Kate has a small travel tube of ExfoliKate at Sephora for $19 if you want a luxury scrub at the lowest price, which is something that I am more than happy to do. — 8 months, 1 week ago

Good at home treatment...
powerwoman033 (509 reviews)

The Microdermabrasion by Dr. Brandt is a fantastic treatment. I received a deluxe sample of this and really liked the results. It is an intensive treatment that sloughs away dry, dead skin to reveal a radiant complexion. The drawback? The price! I will stick with the Micro-Delivery Exfoliating Wash by Philosophy! — 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Not for sensitive skin
SubCulture (228 reviews)

I like the lemony scent and it's a very abrasive scrub which I like but a few minutes after washing this off my skin was red and blotchy all over, even my less sensitive T-zone areas were blotchy. My skin was also dry and flaky and took a few days to recover. You only need a small amount to get an effective scrub but fortunately it did not work for me since it's so expensive! — 1 year, 2 months ago

Love it, but....
radar626 (318 reviews)

I really love this product, but I hate how fast it seems to dry out in the container. I always make sure to put the top back on tightly, but it still gets dried out and changes color after just a couple of uses. This is not a new phenomenon with this product, but it happened in less than two weeks this time. Did the formula change??? — 2 years, 7 months ago

Clean

This product leaves my face with a nice clean feeling. Its scent is very light and does not irritate my skin. Has helped the looks of my scarring from acne. — 4 years, 3 months ago

Kristan_Hubbard (27 reviews)

I've used this a couple of times and my skin feels soo soft and smooth after. But um $75 is way too much, I will not be buying again. I'm trying the $25 olay microdermabrasion kit. — 4 months, 1 week ago

Love this!
TheBlond (89 reviews)

This is my go to product if I want to use an abrasive-type exfoliant. It smells wonderful and makes my skin so soft afterward. The container is a good size and the product seems to last when used once a week or so. — 1 year, 3 months ago

Sensitive Skin Be Careful
Keyamarie (62 reviews)

I wouldn't normally classify myself as having sensitive skin, especially since I commonly use microdermabrasion products. However, when I tried this cream, my skin got very hot and tingly. My assumption is that I must be allergic to something in their formulation. That being said, the cream did have a very nice consistency, with very fine crystals. Once I washed off the cream, I was pleased to find that the strong burning sensation faded almost immediately, and my skin was actually quite soft. So, I would say this cream is something that should be purchased by someone with sensitive skin only if they purchase it from a place that will allow for returns. — 2 years, 7 months ago
