I am searching for exfoliants that are mild but effective. I have sensitive to oily, acne prone skin, I came across DDF Acne Exfoliating Cleanser, has anyone tried this before?
Is it okay for sensitive skin? Any suggestions on a good exfoliator for my skin type?
Thanks. |

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I'd recommend Dermalogica Microfoliant  |

Hi Mabsy,
Got THE message...  Only problem now is, it's "out of stock" in EDS. I am going to try and see if I can get it from a local facial salon here in Singapore, if they dont have it as well, is there any other site that I can purchase it from?
One more thing, since you're an expert on Dermalogica products :P , I have come across a forum where someone's recommending Dermalogica's Gentle Exfoliant Cream (is that right?), just wondering how different this is from the Microfiliant? |

I'm far from the Dermalogica expert on here - I just have a few solid favorites from this line and Microfoliant is DEFINITELY one of them
I have not used the gentle exfoliant cream but I would guess that this is one of those exfoliating masks that you just put on and leave on for a while and then you wash it off. No scrubbing involved.
I got my Microfoliant from EDS and have not yet had to repurchase as it has lasted me for ages! Since you're going to find a salon that stocks it this might be a good opportunity to try to pick up a sample first and find out if you like it or not before buying the full size  |

Hi Mabsy,
I tried using Microfiliant tonight (got a "sample" from my roommate), it felt smooth on my skin afterwards, but I also felt tightness to my face, is that normal? I used it after my Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser (which I really love).
Is it really safe to use daily?? |

I can use it daily and I have no problems with it - it doesn't leave my skin tight. I have read some people saying that it leaves their skin a bit dry.
Mind you, I don't think I could use the Dermal Clay Cleanser AND the Microfoliant together as the cleanser would dry me out. So, basically, everybody's skin is different... |

Amazingly, Mabsy, the cleanser is perfect for me, I read from some posts that it leaves the skin feeling tight but for me it left my skin really soft. It was just right.
Sorry to tell you this, but I got breakouts the next day and tiny rash-like itchy spots on my face, after I used the microfiliant 
I am not sure why it had an effect like that on me, everybody seemed to rave about the Microfiliant.
Now, I have to search for another exfoliator - could cream exfoliators be gentler?? |

wingless_butterfly - I had similar reaction as you have experienced - tightness and tiny rash-like spots. But, it went away after the 3rd or 4th trials. Now, I really love  this daily microfiliant, it is absolutely wonderful and leaves my skin nothing but the smoothness and softness touch. |

Hmmm...I tried the gentle cream exfoliant last night, and it was okay, no dramatic effects but my skin felt really really really smooth but not overly dry.
I think maybe I should give Microfiliant another chance, see if it will give me the same results as it gave you. Well, hopefully it will.
Could be possible I scrubbed too hard.  |

wingless, are you still testing this product or given up?
I find all dermalogica products have given me a reaction like you described. Perhaps we're both allergic to something!? |
