Hi,

I am currently using Dr. H CC, and I love it. I am thinking of adding Microfoliant to my cleansing regimen for deeper exfoliation. I have 2 questions:

1) Do I need it?
2) If I do add it, how often should I use Microfoliant and Dr. H CC?

My skin is oily.

Thanks

Hello there
Let me ask you this are you using Dr H CC as a weekly thing (scrub) or an everyday cleanser? if you feel you need the extra clean do dermalogica as well they are both so gentle i think you'd be fine. becareful tho if you're breaking out(common with oily skin). I went thro a whole tube of the CC i just felt like It wasn't doing anything for my face(felt dirty). but i'm glad you're loving it!

Thanks skinprofusion for your response.

Currently, I use Dr.H CC twice a day. Do you think I should still use it twice a day if I use Microfoliant once a day, or would that be too much exfoliation for my skin?

I don't think you need it, but I used to use it together with the Dr H CC anyway because I just love my Microfoliant too much and love the results Embarassed

In order to do this, I would skip using the Dr H CC that day (day&night) and replace it with the Microfoliant (day OR night). In all honesty, I think many people would be able to pull off using both without problems but I do worry about overexfoliating my skin so I'm on the more conservative side.

Thanks Mabsy for your response.

I was looking forward to reading it, as I know that you like both products. I think I'll start as you suggested (use microfoliant once in a while, and skip Dr.H CC), and take it from there.

Thanks a bunch!

I love Microfoliant and but I also looovve Jurlique Face Wash Cream (which I'm told is very similar to Dr H CC) so I do the same as Mabsy and alternate, that way I get to use both without over exfoliating. My skin can be sensitive and this hasn't irritated me at all (though I don't ever use both on the same day - it is always one or the other and sometimes I just use Microfoliant every third day or something like that).

I have both products as well.....and i love them. I think it would be great for you to use the microfiliant since you have oily skin. I'd suggest using the microfiliant every 3rd day or so.

Thanks skinprofusion, Mabsy, princesita and BCGirl. I will definitely use your suggestions.

Hi Quacko - thought I'd throw my 2 cents in...I am crazy about both of these products and use both nearly every day Embarassed

(but only once daily) I love the results I get -- keeps my skin bright and clear...(cleanse/microfoliant/Dr HCC)....I use the microfoliant every day and the Dr HCCC probably 3 to 4 x/weekly....These are wonderful products!!

Thanks Pudoodles for the information. And the fact that you like both. I started using Microfoliant like every other day, and I think it is great. And of course, I like Dr. HCC and use it on the other days.

Thanks everybody.

i have pretty dry skin....the Dr. H CC is awesome for that, but when i find with the microfiliant it is too drying for my skin type.

FYI - I use the Microfoliant in the mornings, I mix it with a bit of my Decleor Cleansing Gel to make the “paste,” then I add a dash of french green clay to help absorb my excess oil.

I use the DHCC in the evenings, after removing my makeup with Decleor Cleansing Gel. I’m sure that this can be construed as exfoliating overkill, but I doesn’t seem to bother my particular skin type...although if I were normal or dry, I probably would probably be content to use one or the other and not both!

Halfie and Carekate.

Thanks for the info.

I have used Microfoliant, and did not find it drying at all, but I have oily skin.

Carekate, so far, you are the only one that uses both the same day. I alternate between both of them. I may try them both one day and see how that works, since my skin is oily like yours.

Thanks!

I finally bought my first Dermalogica and its the Microfoliant... !!

I really love this and how it makes my skin squeaky clean and bright...

Carekate : Mm...Interesting tip on mixing it with other pdts to make paste, it does tend to be runny and disappear quickly if washing my face under the shower. Thanks Laughing
