dia-to-may-shus

A naturally occurring crystalline silica derived from diatoms, unicellular microscopic algae. This fine silica powder is a natural exfoliant to eliminate dead cells located in the epidermis or surface layer of the skin.

SHAY BUH-t'r

Shea Butter is the natural fat obtained from the fruit of the African Karate tree and is widely used in lotions and cleansing products for its hydrating properties. Protects skin from dehydration, restores skin's suppleness and improves the appearance of dry skin.

will-oh errb

Derived from a plant commonly known as fireweed or willow herb. This plant is known to have anti-microbial and soothing properties for skin.

Dispense a nickel-sized amount of the product into the palm of the hand. Utilizing fingertips, gently apply to clean, damp skin in an upward and outward circular motion, avoiding the eye area. (For treatment of targeted body areas such as hands, elbows, back, and decollete, apply in like fashion.) Continue treatment for approximately 30 seconds, but no more than two minutes, to achieve desired effect. Monitoring skin sensitivity closely, you may increase pressure slightly to enhance treatment results. With eyes closed, rinse with cool water and gently pat dry. Some redness is to be expected as skin is re-texturized. To help soothe skin after treatment, we recommend using this formula in conjunction with Kiehl's Dermatologist Solutions' Centella Recovery Skin-Salve. WARNINGS:For external use only. Do not use on irritated or damaged skin. Avoid getting the micro-dermabrasion exfoliator in the eyes, lips and nostrils. If eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly and gently. If irritation or rash appears, discontinue use and consult a physician. For adult use only. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician before using if you are on any type of skin medication or if you have a pre-existing skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis, chronic eczema, psoriasis, severe acne, skin cancer, a facial tattoo or sunburned skin. Do not use within 24 hours of use of other exfoliation products; for example, but not limited to: glycolic acid, chemical peels, acne medication or Retin-A. If you experience any undue sensitivity, discontinue use, allowing skin to rest for several days. Because this product may make your skin more sensitive to the sun, always protect your skin following a micro-dermabrasion treatment with a UVA/UVB sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater. Excessive sun exposure after micro-dermabrasion should be avoided. If intense sun exposure is unavoidable, apply sunscreen liberally and frequently. Do not use more frequently than three times per week.

Question Does this product remove age spots from male hands? If not, do you have a product that does?

  • Answer I have not tried the product on age spots. I use it daily to cleanse my face. It leaves skin feeling clean, smooth and refreshed. by David B 04/27/12
  • Answer I'm not sure if it removes age spots but I wouldn't be surprised. It does have a good scrubbing effect! by Nancy J 04/27/12
  • Answer I cannot imagine it not working on a man just as effectively as it does on a female. The product does not distinguish gender. by TULA R 04/27/12

Question I just got the this product's sample. Can you advise I should use it in the morning or at night? After this, can I use 'Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment'? How long is the interval shall I take? Thanks.

  • Answer Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions are powerful, yet safe treatments that address skin conditions such as premature aging, irritation and sensitivity. Use 2-3 times a week for remarkably smooth skin day or night -- your choice! by Kiehl's A 05/17/12

Question Its ok to use it this product?bcoz im using right now the DSC and Midnite Recovery

  • Answer I find that all of my other products work MUCH better after I use this. I use it 4 times a week even though the recommendation is 3 because I work in a really hot, gritty, dirty environment- and it works great on removing the layer of filth that forms over my (very oily) skin to allow other products to do their work much better. On the other hand, my mother (50+) can't use this in conjunction with other products because it causes other products to irritate her skin. She has normal-to-oily, very sensitive skin. by Luz G 04/17/12
  • Answer Hi, I'm not sure about the ingredients of those products but if they have Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids in them then you probably don't want to use the products together. But if they don't have AHAs then it should be okay to use the microdermabrasion with those products. by TANYA Z 04/14/12
  • Answer I use the Microdermabrasion scrub about every 2-3 days, In the morning I use Criste Marine moisturizer and in the evening I use the Midnight Recovery Complex. I have no problems whatsoever..... by Colleen P 04/13/12
  • Answer Yes it's ok. I love this product. I was advised to use it only every other day and that's what I do. by BETSY P 04/13/12
  • Answer Hello, I don't use the midnite recovery but I do use a strong retinol at night. I use the microdermabrasion 3 times a week and love it. My skin does not get irritated from using both. Go light but the scrub is lovely. by mary m 04/13/12

Question will this micro dermabrasion cream diminish acne scars?

  • Answer I have large pores that love getting clogged with dirt and some light-to-medium scarring on my cheeks. I use this 3-4 times a week, and after 3 weeks I've noticed significantly less clogged pores all over my face, over 2/3rds gone. Pore size never changes, but they certainly look more refined when they're CLEAN!!! The scarring on my cheeks IS less visible, especially where it was already light to begin with. I use this in conjunction with the Biological Peel, so I'm not sure which one is working its magic. It's not a miracle eraser by any means, especially for mid-to-deep scarring, so don't expect miracles. However, the area is somehow exquisitely smooth to the touch even though it doesn't appear to be so- and that is definitely as a result of using this exfoliant. by Luz G 04/17/12
  • Answer This is one of the best micro dermabrasion creams that I have used So much so that I have bought a second tube since running out of the first one, even though it's a bit pricier than I would like. I simply cannot live without it because even after 1 use, my skin feels smoother and wonderful. Because I have issues with acne and use a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream everyday, I do have some issues with dry flaky skin at times and this cream really helps me exfoliate. In terms of acne scars, I think it has helped me, especially when used in combination with a glycolic acid product (for example, I'll use a GA mask and after I rinse off, I'll follow with the micro dermabrasion product). I find that using it 2-3 times a week works for me, but sometimes I use it a few days in a row if my skin is especially problematic. by Jane K 04/12/12
  • Answer With time, I think it helps with superficial scarring and marks. Deep scars will probably not be diminished with this product. by Richard C 04/12/12
  • Answer I've used this product for a number of years now and like it quite a bit. I suffered from acne when I was young and have enlarged pores and some scarring. This product is great for exfoliating and makes my skin feel smooth, but has not reduced the appearance of scarring or significantly reduced my pores. I still recommend though! by Patricia D 04/12/12
  • Answer It isn't a cream, it's an abrasive scrub. You cleanse, then use the scrub, rinse and tone and moisturize. I don't feel qualified to answer your question about scars. I do like the product very much; very fine-grain particles in a cream-like base. by Mary F 04/12/12
  • Answer I have used this product and can say it has significently improved the look and feel of my skin.Just go gently to start with.You can incorporate this in with your exsisting skincare routine.Hope this helps! by Elizabeth S 04/12/12
