I've been wanting to try Epidermx for a long time but wonder if it will be too harsh for my sensitive skin. I have "thin" skin according to my facialist, and have some broken capillaries (would it make them worse?) I had a bad experience with Differin in the PM and glycolic acid in the AM burning my skin, so I'm a little scared to use strong exfoliants, but still want the glowing skin...
Any advice would be great! |

I would not recommend any physical exfoliants for you esp if you are prone to broken capillaries.
I also have sensitive, thin skin and have tried a sample of epidermx. It felt really rough on my skin. |

| In my opinion you should probably stay away unless you plan to use it gently and as a scrub rather than a full-on microdermabrasion treatment. I don't have sensitive skin and Epidermx leaves my skin rather raw after I use it properly (i.e. massage in for 5 minutes or whatever it is). |

| I agree with the other posts. You may be better off using a vitamin C serum instead of strong exfoliation to get that glow. |
