I got this a month ago due to the raves on MUA. This is my first microdermabrasion product so at first I didn't like the feel of it that much. However, I've grown to like it and have been reaching for it more often than my JB Apple Peel. Although I can't compare to any other microdermabrasion products, I find the grains NOT AT ALL harsh, I think this is a pretty gentle product. I usually use this after my Earth to Body Clay-Neem treatment and this does a GREAT job exfoliating and both products together leave me quite poreless. But what pushed me over the edge to write this review is how my skin FEELS afterwards. I'm not sure if it's the exfoliating factor or the wonderful cream base but it leaves my skin perfectly baby butt smooth - NO dryness NO film. The texture of the product is quite thin, in between a lotion and a cream. At first when I massage it on to my skin I'd thought that it would leave an oily film as the base feels slightly oily thus having good slip for the pumice so that it won't get scratchy while I'm massaging. However it rinses very clean very easily and I can't stop touching my face afterward. If only I found a cleanser or exfoliator that made my skin feel as nice. Basically this is recommended for all skin types and I couldn't agree more, although I have combo skin I can totally see someone with dry skin using this as it will definitely NOT leave your skin dry even the slightest bit.
At this point I would repurchase the product (but I doubt I'd ever run out), but I might opt to try the PSF one next time.
Description:
Ultra-fine pumice crystals peel-away dull, dreary cells, abrade uneven skin and visibly reduce the appearance of pores. Youthful texture is restored and a health glow returns as skin takes on a polished, poreless look. Plus, you get the added benefits of nourishing plant extracts and essential oils to soothe, smooth and comfort your complexion.
Skin Types:
all
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Pumice, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Panax Ginseng Extract, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis (Dong Quai) Extract, Nasturtium Officinale (Wtercress) Extract, Rhus Glabra (Sumac) Extract, Citrus Aurantium (Neroli) Oil, Saliva Officinalis (Sage) Oil, PEG-8, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Centrimonium Bromide, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Disodium EDTA.
A side note:
I also got a chance to give the Decongestant a try as well and I do like it as a cleanser. It leaves my skin very clean and comfortable. The texture is a thick gel with good slip (better slip than Yonka Gel Cleanser). The only thing that holds me back from purchasing a full size is that it contains SLS. |

I've got some travel size bottles of the Decongestant cleanser and a travel size of the toner is on the way. I quite like the Bioelements products. I use 3 foaming cleansers right now the Astara, Bioelements, and Jurlique. Love em all!
Great review BTW!  |

| A Great peel/scrub. Felt smooth and clean after use. But if your skin is sensitive, it will definitely irritate it. I had reaction to it once. Beware. |
