If you are still looking for an exfoliant that won’t irritate your skin, dry it out, or cause breakouts, you may want to give Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator a try. It’s a popular choice for exfoliating and brightening all skin types while remaining gentle enough on the skin for daily use.
The daily exfoliant consists of a rice-based powder form that’s rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acids. It’s immediately activated once mixed with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid, and Rice Enzymes onto the skin to remove dead skin cells and uneven texture. The addition of Colloidal Oatmeal and Allantoin keeps the skin calm during exfoliation, so users won’t be left with redness or irritating flare-ups.
Not only does it have rave reviews on Amazon
and directly on the brand’s website, but even Oprah has previously called this product a “superstar“—I don’t know about you, but anything Oprah approves of, I have to try for myself.
Oprah is not the only icon who is obsessed with Dermalogica’s product. Have you ever watched Friends Reunion back in 2021 or Scream VI recently and wondered how Courteney Cox looks this good at 59? This product may have something to do with it; as a brand ambassador for Dermalogica, Cox has expressed only good things about the Microfoliant. She’s previously said it makes her look like she “got a professional skin treatment” after use.
In a step-by-step Tiktok, Cox explained just how easy it is to use the product. She begins by distributing the powder into her wet hands and lathering until it forms into a foamy consistency before applying it to her face. It’s as simple as that.
Celebs aren’t the only ones who have implemented the Dermalogica best-seller into their regimens. One reviewer shared that they’ve “switched over to everything Dermalogica” because their “products are perfect for me.” Another 50-year-old reviewer claimed it was “like getting a spa treatment every day.”
Even the younger generation is discovering the product and sharing their thoughts on TikTok. User Mel Hwang showcased how it’s changed her skin in “just one month,” claiming to see a difference in pore size and smoothness. Some of her scarring and hyperpigmentation has faded, and she urges her followers to “not sleep on this exfoliator.”
Content creator Caroline Stern talked about loving this product so much that she sprung for the bigger bottle. In her video, she prioritized using the exfoliator during her ideal self-care day. She says it “polishes her skin to perfection” and that it’s a must-try because “your skin will thank you for it.”
Don’t sleep on this cult-favorite product!
