I know, I know. Another microdermabrasion cream-kit on the market? But this one is different. This one is Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y. Of the eye-crossing number of microderm creams and facial scrubs I’ve used, Microdermx, made by L.A.-based Nikkel Holistic Skincare, is truly the crème des crèmes. Why? The quality of its crystals and the plethora of soothing ingredients.
Pretty factor: Instead of harsh, second-rate exfoliants like pumice, magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate or unfused aluminum oxide, Microdermx uses medical-grade corundum crystals—which are second only to diamonds on the Mohs scale of hardness. Plus, the crystals are so microfine (at first touch, the product feels simply like face cream) that they exfoliate with superb evenness.
Generous amounts of chamomile and aloe prevent the skin from becoming unsightly ruddy and rose hip seed oil, rich in vitamin A, aids reparation. I was wow-ed by how baby-butt-smooth my face felt afterward.
Numerous Microdermx customers have reported their skin tone to be more even, pore size smaller, and wrinkles, acne scars and brown spots diminished after just a couple months of use (2-3 times/week).
Eco factor: No petrol additives like paraben preservatives, mineral oil, or propylene glycol, nor synthetic dyes or fragrance
To buy: just $45 at microdermx.com. By the way, it's 30 bucks cheaper than Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion in a Jar and $40 cheaper than Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate!
