Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Advantages: Doesn't dry out skin, nice texture
Disadvantages: Hard to get hold of

I had been using dermalogica cleanser and toner and found that it was working well with my skin - so I anted to delve a little deeper into the product range. I wanted a product which would make my skin feel clean, smooth and fresh while keeping the moisture in and I have to say I've found it in this. Dermalogica products are natural and makes your skin feel good without feeling like its been stripped of its natural oils etc. Daily Microfoliant ...
...found it difficult to find Dermalogica in the shops - which made me shop around on the internet and I have found 2 very good websites. The first one is www.salonskincare.com - they do free shipping over £50 and the products are with you within a few days, not to mention the generous amount of samples they give too. I find this a god way of sampling new products which you might want to purchase later on or even to take on holiday with you. The prices ... Read review

Advantages: Made my skin look fresher & clearer from the start.
Disadvantages: A bit pricey but worth it!

I had a Dermalogica facial last week and out of all the products used i asked which one the therapist would recommend i purchase, she suggested the daily microfoliant. The entire Dermalogica range appealed to me because it is not tested on animals and seems to be pretty natural. I have never spent much money on beauty products before (the facial was a present), but my skin felt so nice during and after the facial that i was really impressed. My ...
...having a facial with a Dermalogica therapist rather than just buying what you think is right for you, because they use quite a few different products during the treatment. So you can see what you feel is comfortable on your skin and take their advice. You don't have to buy from them, but if you do and are not happy that the products have been appropriately recommended the goods do come with a guarantee (as long as they have been recommended by a ...

Advantages: Great Skin
Disadvantages: daily routine

Special cleansing gel I was having a terrible time with my skin and I went to a small salon near me for a facial. Whilst in there, she used and recommend Dermalogica. I thought very pricey and a bit suspect as I know how salons work being a Hair dresser by trade. She gave me a sheet of paper which had all the details of what she used and were she used it. This I found very handy as I forgot all the lotions and potion by the time I walked out of ...
...the products. Special cleansing gel, Pre cleanse and Active moist. Packaging It looks fantastic nice and simple black and white print and very clear text. The lid gives you just the right amount even whilst scrabbling about in the shower. I would recommend unless you want the biggest the Wash 250ml, use along with the Pre-cleanses 150ml and the moisturizer 100ml. Like normal tube that breaks and fall apart these is sturdy and very user friendly. ... Read review

Advantages: Perfect Skin
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...When my beautician told me she was going to be changing to the dermalogica range, I groaned and promptly cancelled all of my facials with her! I had heard bad reports, years before, on the Dermalogica and I wasn't going to take any chances. Well, six months into her using the Dermalogica range I gave into to her enthusiasm for the product and booked a facial. At the end of the facial all I could say was 'wow!' The product was fantastic and had turned my oily patchy skin into a peaches and cream complexion! Over the next few months I bought the key products, cleanser, toner, mask and moisturiser, so when she told me about their new product - Daily Microfoliant - a couple of months ago, I had my cheque book out before she asked me if I wanted a free sample! Now you may think I am a salesman’s dream, and I buy whatever I am... Read review

Advantages: Smooths and brightens skin. Reduces dreaded blackheads
Disadvantages: Available only via Dermalogica approved salons.

...of use are very clear and further advice is either given or available from the salon when you buy. None of the range has a strong smell and in fact many of the products are odourless. I was already using the basics, Cleanser, toner, moisturiser, masque, from the Dermalogica range when my beautician suggested I try the microfoliant. I bought it and haven't looked back since. If there ever was such a thing as a wonder product then this is it. It's gentle enough to use every day and unlike most other exfoliaters doesn't contain "scratchy" bits instead it uses BHA's (Salicylic acid) to gently exfoliate the skin and get inside the pores. It comes in the form of a powder and you simply add half a teaspoon of it to wet hands. Rub your hands together to form a creamy paste and massage it into your skin for about a minute. Then rinse off... Read review

Advantages: medium wieght moisturiser, hydrating
Disadvantages: pricey

...reccomended to do so my facialist. While being heavier than the light moisturisers i am used it didn't leave my t-zone oily as some other heavier creams always do. I first heard of this when I went for a facial at a local ayurvedic salon. While they are known for their fabulous herbal face packs I was surpirsed to find they used and reccomended dermalogica products too. I left the salon feeling amazing after my facial and was given a small sample pot of the moisturiser to use by the facialist. Other products she used on my face were, aveda's botanic kinetics cream cleanser, aveda botanic kinetics firming toner, dermalogica daily microfoliant (i HAVE to buy this soon) and dermalogica intensive moisture balance. If you can afford it I would reccomend all these products but if like me you are bit more budget concious then opt at least... Read review
