Love the Scent!
-04.25.13
Quick Take: smells wonderful!, not too harsh!, easy to use!
This product smells SOOOO good! It is a lemon-citrus smell, and it also does a great job as an exfoliator, without being too heavy-duty. I love it!

Compliments!!

I have never received compliments on my skin. I'm 38 and have started noticing some wrinkles. I've been using this twice weekly for 2 months, and it's getting noticed!

Stuff's pretty good
-04.06.13
Quick Take: a luxurious splurge
This smells nice and light (like lemon balm, cucumber and vanilla) and moisturizes as it scrubs. Exfoliator is mild sandy sort of grit, but careful not to overscrub. Slow small circles worked around face for minute or 2 is all you need if you have sensitive skin. Worth the $75 I paid? Not sure - there's other good stuff out there for less $.

Excellent product
-03.30.13
Quick Take: radiant
I love this product and it most certainly helps keep my skin radiant and french. My only complaint is that it smells like pine sol. Please think about changing the scent. I do recommend this product, but the smell is a little too much for me to continue using it.

I LOVE this product!!!
-02.10.13
Quick Take: essential to my skin routine
This product is excellent! I have really sensitive skin so I use it every three days and it makes my skin soft and looking great. I also love the lemony smell. I've started using it on my hands too to keep them soft. I think it makes my old age spots less noticeable.

Quick Take: luminizing, soft but effective, worth ever penny, a little goes a long way
I have been on the hunt for a good exfoliant for quite some time now, and I think that this may be "the one". I combine this with my Dior One serum, Creme de La Mer moisturizer, Lancome Genifique Eye Youth Activating Eye Concentrate, and sometimes my Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfection mask.
I call all of these products combined my "fantastic four". My skin has improved a lot while using these products, I've went from dry-normal to normal. My skin is almost flawless (other than a few acne scars, but you can't really see them unless you're focusing at the area).
A friend of mine uses this as well, and she has very sensitive skin. This works wonders for her, as it did with me. This is a very soft but effective exfoliator, if that makes sense. I have never come across an exfoliator that is truly effective but isn't harsh.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone, it works for all skintones. It is a bit pricey I have to admit, but this is a great investment, a little goes a long way. This is worth every penny!

Review 8 for microdermabrasion skin exfoliant

Satisfyingly effective although not a instant fix
-02.02.13
Quick Take: effective, nicely textured not harsh
Been using the product for about 2 weeks (about 5 times). I noticed an improvement in my skin texture in just one use. Not a instant fix but I am seeing continued improvement in my skin texture including tightening my pores. Too short of a time frame to determine if it reduces the appearance of fine lines, acne marks & skin discoloration. Nice texture, not too harsh. Leaves skin feeling clean without residue. I do wish it came with a vitamin or collagen enriched serum to apply after use since the skin is more able to absorb better after exfoiliating. I currently use a hydrating gel from another brand after use. I'm pleased with the results so far & look forward to continued improvement in my skin.

My face is happy but my wallets not
-02.01.13
Super expensive but super amazing. Made my 54 year old mom try it today actually she loves it too. Made my skin feel like babys butt. I have oily skin but im also sensitive and im fine with the product. The crystals are tiny so they dont irritate my face whatsoever. It might make it a tiny tiny bit red but thats the virgin skin coming through. Im staying loyal to this one my haunt has finally ended for the right exfoliator. Love ittttt!

Worth the price
-01.29.13
This product is great! Makes my skin smooth and the makeup goes on so much nicer.
Make sure you make big circles like the package says. I tried smaller circles and it irritated my skin for a day (then it went away).
I use this exfoliator then origins charcoal mask, followed by Korres sleeping facial and it has done wonders for my blotchy red skin!

very similar to pro microdermabrasion treatment
-01.04.13
Seeking alternative to $200 microdermabrasion treatments and this seems to fit the bill. Although pricey, it seems to be worth it. The particles are super fine and your skin feels refreshed afterwards.

LOVE !!!!
-01.03.13
This is my favorite scrub! Also..love the new tube!!! The old jar would get dried out and this tube keeps the product moist and applicable at all times! It is expensive, but so worth it. If you are worried about not getting all of the product out at the end, just cut the top off and scoop out remaining!

I want it all !
-01.03.13
This is my favorite scrub. Works wonders, but I HATE the tube. The jar was great. I feel like so much gets wasted being stuck inside the tube that you cannot get out. At $75, i cannot afford to waste any of it. I want it all.

I have been using this since 2008 & will use it for as long as I can. A little goes a long way & it makes my skin so soft!!
I have to admit I miss the jar, but this is a more efficient way to use the product

Could Be Better For The Price!
-12.20.12
Quick Take: expensive, harsh, oily
First and foremost, this is one expensive item. It does beat the cost of getting frequent professional facial treatments at the spa but you don't quite get the same result. Also, it will leave your skin super soft but it will also leave an oily residue once rinsed off. For a gal with oily skin, it surely wasn't a winner in my book. I will not repurchase. On to the next...

Love the product HATE the nerw packaging :(
-12.17.12
Quick Take: new packaging sucks!
While the product itself is excellent, the new tube packaging sucks! Why oh why did someone decide that it needed to be changed??? The jar was much better. Plus, it feels like the tube is half gone already when you haven't even cracked the seal. BOO!!!! Bring back the old packaging in the jar. BOO!!!

Fantastic non-irritating MD
-11.29.12
I actually like this better than Exfolikate. While I use non-scrubbing micro-derm pads because I've heard the small scrubby beads can damage your pores, I see nothing but good news after I use Dr. Brandt's md cream. Skin is definitely softer, more youthful looking and I LOVE the fresh lemony scent.

Effective exfoliant
-11.18.12
Quick Take: expensive but effective
I've been a user of this microdermabrasion exfoliating cream since it was in a jar (bring the jar back!). Although the tube is easily dispensible, I just feel like you're not getting as much product as before, yet you're still paying for the same high price (thus, one star docked). I use this in conjuction with my Clarisonic Pro and I find that it's much more effective at removing dry, flaking skin (which I've been plagued with recently).
