    The aging exfoliator

    This exfoliator is very gritty so you will definitely get a good scrub. Sometimes it almost hurts. You will need to make sure to wear good sunscreen after using this product. My main complaint is the smell. It smells like lemon household cleaner.

    Great Product! I've used this exfoliator a few times now [3+] and I love how it makes my skin feel and look.
    It is not a tough/thick exfoliator which i like, the scent is light and not heavy, and a little goes a long way. It feels so refreshing on my skin, and i feel like I have noticed an improvement in my skin.

    Light lemon citrus scent. Gently exfoliates dry skin and gives a soft glow after use. I use 2 times a week so I don't over do it and I feel great. Definately worth a try. Great spa treatment at home

    I got this in my Boxycharm.

    When you rub this on your face, you can feel the nitty gritty bits in the cream. It does feel quite abrasive, but that is the whole idea, isn’t it. Then just washed it off and dabbed my face dry with a towel. I should also mention that it does have a slight citrusy smell, but it’s not too strong. I suppose if you are sensitive to smells, this might be a deal-breaker for you.

    My moisturiser did seem to go on smoother, and when I applied my makeup the following day I felt it also went on a little smoother, so I was pretty happy. So, my overall view of this product is that it does what it says, in that it definitely made my skin feel softer and look brighter. I have not noticed any difference in my fine lines or wrinkles, though.

    I would never buy this, it's way too expensive.

    I received this as a deluxe sample from Sephora recently and have fallen in love. I have used 2-step microdermabrasion products in the past, and definitely don't mind the process, but this is just so quick and easy.

    This has a sandy texture, not at all rough, but it does a great job at smoothing out the skin. It also has a pleasant scent, and a little goes a long way. The deluxe sample will likely last me for months with 2x per week use.

    I know the price is steep so I'm not sure if I will buy the full size product...but we'll see.

    I love that this is a one step microdermabrasion, as I also use a two step product. It does not dry out my skin too much as it is creamy. It is a bit pricey, but It has lasting power, I usually get at least half a year of it. The smell may be a little off putting to some, very lemony, think Sunlight dish detergent lemony, so if you are sensitive to fragrances, you may find this strong smelling.
    I find it effective at sloughing off dry skin, and it has helped fade some old acne scars as well. A little goes a long way. I have been buying this product for a few years now, and I will continue to purchase this product. I sure hope they don't ever discontinue it!

    I got a sample of this product in a subscription bag, and I was pretty happy with it. It has very fine granules that slough away dead skin cells without causing irritation. The smell is a bit like lemon floor cleaner which can be off putting, especially if you prefer products that are scent free.

    I received a sample size of this product and I love it. I love the black packaging and it even smells good, it's almost like a lemony smell. It's definitely exfoliating, it is a bit rough so when you rub you face you do have to be carful not to rub too hard or it kind of hurts. It absolutely leaves your skin feeling clean and soft.
    *I did go to Sephora to by a full sized product ($78) but the sales girl told me it was to harsh for my skin so I didn't purchase it.

    Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion is the latest wonder product from the Dr. Brandt Skincare line sold at Sephora (in stores, and online). This high-end exfoliating scrub contains diamond-shaped magnesium oxide crystals that gently polish away dead skin cells, leaving your skin radiant and smooth.

    Dampen your skin with warm water before applying a small (dime to nickel-sized) amount of the product. Using your fingers, gently smooth the scrub onto your skin while avoiding your eye area. I tend to apply the product by "drawing" circles over my cheeks, jawline, nose and forehead with my finger tips, so that the pressure is not too heavy. After 1 to 2 minutes, rinse off all of the product and pat your face dry with a soft towel. You should notice an immediate difference.

    Don't forget to follow up with a luxurious moisturizer so that your skin doesn't end up too dry.

    If you have very sensitive skin, you will want to exercise caution in using this product. Although it is reputed to not irritate or scratch skin, my sister found the product to be too strong for her face.
