What the gurus are saying

Most gurus praise it as a gentle, effective exfoliant that works well alongside acne treatments, though the powder texture requires proper activation with water to perform. The key is mixing it into a paste on damp skin rather than applying it dry, which some find a bit messy but worth the payoff. One expert found it milder than expected for an exfoliant, so those after stronger exfoliation may want to explore other options.

"If you try and put it on while it's still feeling grainy, it's not going to work properly. The enzymes in here need to be activated. So put some in the palm of your hand and really get some water, turn it into almost like a lathery paste, then use it. I absolutely love it. This is not a new launch, but sometimes not everything has to be new and innovative. Sometimes reaching for things that have worked for others for years is a good thing to do. I absolutely love this one. Really glad I tried it."

"Dermalogica is really liked by a lot of derms. The Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is a cleansing powder that's very lovely and does gentle exfoliation. It also does a good job with certain acne products. Overall I'm a fan. I would just be cautious -- some products can be a little bit harsh. I would give it a four."

"We have some Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. This actually has 6,000 reviews. I already know that this is good. This is fantastic. I've used it before. Enzyme salicylic acid, amazing. It's a little expensive. I already have it. I would rather get it when it's on sale."

"Before I dry my face I actually need to do a double cleanse so I use the special gel thing and what I like to do is I'll get the gel and then also get the microfoliant and then I'll pop it in, I'll make like a little thing and then I'll make sure I have wet hands and wet skin and then mix it together. You just have to get used to the sensation of having wet colors, it's kind of gross but it works. I actually do want to mix my microfoliant with just any cleanser, a gel cleanser. I think I'm gonna mix it with a gel cleanser and see what happens."

"She uses the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant which isn't my favorite but it is a gentle exfoliant that kind of feels like a scrub but isn't as abrasive."
