This is a wonder product!!!
I have never seen so good results in so short time.
After the first application my skin is smoother and now after 4 days super smooth!. I really really do recommend this product! My skin gets a little dry (but I also have very dry skin) so I have to put on a good moisturizer after! |

Glad you like this Becks! This is one of my fave Dermalogica products. Actually, make that THE fave Dermalogica product  Closely followed by the Multivitamin Mask I think....
I've got normal to combo skin and it doesn't feel drying at all for me. It makes sense though that if you have dry skin you might experience some dryness with this. |

I hope you're using a nourishing cleanser like Essential Cleansing Solution before the Microfoliant. Also, follow with a nourishing facial creme too. If you're not using the Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance, here are a few others to consider: Sothys Nutrithys Cream, Sothys Hydraoptimale Cream, Dr. Renaud Collagen Cream, Decleor Aromessence Visage Angelique - Aromessence Angelique followed by Nutri-Delice Meltingly Soft Nourishing Cream, or Phytomer Hydration Reinforcement.
During the drier, cold winter months, treating yourself to a mask once or twice a week is a great treat too: Decleor Nutri-Delice Nourishing Cereal Mask, Dr Renaud Elastin-Collagen Cream Mask, Juvena Juvelia Creamy Mask Plus, or Gatineau Diffusance Creamy Mask. |

The Daily Microfoliant does seem to be hugely popular on the EDS Board. I find it one of the most effective exfoliants on the market. I like the fact that it's not as harsh as some of the bead/granule type exfoliators. It leaves my skin nice and smooth. Like Becks, I find my skin can be a tiny bit dry in places after using it but this is soon corrected by slapping on some moisturiser (I have combination/oily skin).
Does anyone know if there are any similar enzyme exfoliators on the market? |

Is there room on the bandwagon for me?? I've been eyeballing the Daily Microexoliant for a while now, since I received a sample of the Gentle Cream Exfoliant (which I loved) in my EDS order because most everyone said they liked the daily version better. When a new salon/spa opened up near me with a "grand opening" offer of 25% off any purchase of $30 or more, I was all over that like a bad rash!! In addition to my Daily Microexfoliant, I got a 'travel-size' (bigger than standard sample packet) bottle of the gentle cream exfoliant and Multi-Vit Power Recovery Masque for $2.99 each.
I have to confess that previously I had been using a simple, drugstore brand of face scrub every morning, I think it's Neutrogena's Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub, or something like that. In the evening I had simply been washing my face with one of those Aveeno Daily Skin Brightening pads that contain cleanser. Admittedly, not very high tech.  To this point, my hair has been my biggest vanity. How short-sighted of me not to realize that my hair would look even more incredible when it framed a stunning face! So consider this review/rave an epiphany of sorts....
I used the DM for the first time last night and instantly fell in love. My face looked and felt so incredible afterwards that I immediately wanted to use it again (!) but I managed to restrain myself until this morning.  I have to say that my makeup has never gone on more smoothly than it did this morning. My beloved BE powder foundation made my face look even brighter and more 'luminous' than usual. I even used a little of the 'paste' to exfoliant my lips (y'all should know by now how obsessive I am about my kisser!!). I'm fairly religious about exfoliating my lips and thought I was doing a good job, so I was amazed at the amount of dead skin that sloughed off.  Makes me wonder if my topical lip plumpers (CityLips, Swellips) have even been penetrating evenly...but that's a question for another topic.  After using the DM, though, I now wonder if the Gentle Cream Exfoliant is superfluous...?
Anyway, you can count me among the 'converted' for this Dermalogica Daily Microexfoliant...I think everyone should try it at least once! Hey, maybe EDS should make it a 'standard' sample
to be included in all orders?!

I don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but I recently tried samples of Arbonne's Thermal Infusion Enzyme Mask (the wife of a co-worker is a distributor, so he brought a ton of samples to work and passed them out). Its active ingredient is papien (sp? aka:papaya), but I don't think it's got the rice powder like the Derm DM. It's already moist when you apply it (i.e.: no need to add water to make a paste)...you smooth it on, then wet your fingers and massage in for a couple minutes to activate the papaya enzymes. I REALLY liked this stuff and was going to order a full-size tube until I splurged on the Derm DM! It's a lot cheaper, too, at about $20US for a full-size tube. I still have one of the sample packets, if anyone wants to try it -- just PM me your address and I'll mail it to you (anywhere in world), but I'm afraid it will be first come, first serve unless I can schmooze a couple more samples from Eric! |

I got to put in my 2 cents ....
This is really a wonderful product. I first wash my face with MD Forte Cleanser II (another wonderful product!), then I use this Microfoliant. It's very gentle and my face feels reaaaally smooth.
I use it almost every night. Anyone has concerns of using it daily?
Mabsy - Multivitamin Mask....  , you are so persuasive .... but, I have to be strong  |

Nope, I can use this daily with no problems (normal to combo skin).
Tee hee hee, sorry didn't mean to give you a lemming... The multivitamin mask is good but the only downside is that it's ORANGE - probably only use this if nobody's around or they might think you're sick... Looks kinda scary... |

Funny you should mention that! I first got the multi-vit mask as an EDS sample and the first time I used it, my mother just happened to come over to my house to visit her grand-cats. She immediately thought I was coming down with some horrible, dreaded disease! Now, you have to understand something about my mom: in addition to her mental 'condition' that causes her to have an uncontrollable impulse to relocate or rearrange the furniture every few months (see my post under the "How Many Places You've Lived" thread), but she's also something of a hypochondriac. I've mentioned that I have migraines and the doctors aren't able to find any physiologicial cause (i.e.: no brain tumor, no high blood pressure, no thyroid condition, etc.), so one day my mother logically (!!) suggested that I might have scurvy. I beg your pardon??? Scurvy? I hate to break it to you, Mom, but I haven't been at sea on a clipper ship during the 1600s without access to fresh citrus fruit or water. So naturally when Mom saw my orange face courtesy of the multi-vit mask, she jumped straight to the conclusion that I was coming down with Scabbies or West Nile Virus!! Oh well, my mother is always entertaining, if nothing else....

My two cents: Total rave for the Daily Microfoliant - I use it every day and absolutely love it (40,very fair,former suntanner, few breakouts)...I wouldn't be without this product.

| I think that's pretty close to retail price but EDS is a little cheaper (by about $10 from memory). It's under 'cleansers' on the dermalogica page. |

| They do sell products at the spa in Vancouver, however they don't stock everything so they might be out of what you want. Give them a call first to make sure the have it |

and also.....are they the exact same price as the ones online? |

| I assume that the prices are the same but you would save on shipping |

^yes that would be nice on shipping
but.... sometimes when you order online you get a free product with every $150 you spend. If I buy directly from the spa will they throw in free products for me as they do online? |

| Also, will the spa apply our forum discount to the purchase? |

I don't know about the forum discounts but I was once told when I called to place an order that the free gift w/ purchase offers you see online only applied to internet orders. Perhaps Magda or Caspers Mum will see this thread and respond. |

| I find the microfiliant to be drying on the skin. I guess for those of us who have dry skin, i wouldnt recommend it/. |

I too find it drying so only use it occasionally. I've also found that if I pour a small amount onto a wet washcloth, work up a lather then apply to my face in gentle circles, the dryness is minimized. |

Do you know this is the only product on earth that my skin is sensitive to. I tried it twice and both times my face was burning and bright red.
I can chuck anything on my face - retin A, acids of all varieties, the strongest CPs. I wonder what's in it? |
