Most of you must be familiar with microdermabrasion. To put it simply, it's a technique that uses tiny rough grains to slough away the outermost layer of the skin in order to improve the overall appearance. This at-home microdermabrasion boasts of making the complexion bright and improving your skin's texture. Read on to find if it worked for me.

I think it's an amazing product! I like it because it almost does everything it claims to. For a start, it comes in a convenient packaging – a flip top tube to be precise. The first thing I noticed was the scent which is very mild – smells like synthetic citrus – and doesn’t bother me at all.
The product has a slightly dense creamy consistency hence it’s easy to control the quantity you require to dispense from the tube. Also, you don’t need much; just a dime-sized amount is enough to do the job. Upon closer inspection, I found that it contains very fine grains that exfoliate my skin effectively. Now I must mention that the grains could feel harsh if rubbed hard against the skin so I strongly suggest keeping a light hand. You only need to massage this in circular motions for under a minute and rinse it off. I personally like using it twice or thrice a month. In my opinion, don’t use it very often as it might cause skin irritation. Besides, if you have sensitive skin, this is not for you. Since my skin isn’t sensitive, I haven’t noticed any redness after its use.
Now to the results! Well, I have noticed that my skin feels smooth and super soft after using this. It gives a nice subtle glow to my face and my skin looks incredibly polished. What really amazes me is that it gets rid of superficial blackheads that I have on my nose. My pores look squeaky clean and it doesn’t dry out my skin or give me a tight sensation. I’ve got to admit, it does enhance the overall texture of my skin and make it appear more even-toned. On the downside, it does not brighten up my face like it claims to.
Overall, I am truly in love with it! I am definitely going to repurchase once I run out.
