Micro-dermabrasion crystals Micro-dermabrasion crystals are a powdered Aluminum Oxide used by dermatologists to perform micro-dermabrasion treatments in the office.
Our epidermal skin-texturizing treatment is an advanced formulation that has a highly effective abrading quality on skin’s surface. This formula affords an immediate skin-smoothing effect and with regular, tri-weekly use, helps to visibly minimize discolorations and small marks on face, hands, and décolleté. Over time, the look of facial lines is reduced and skin texture is significantly smoother and clearer, while the appearance of pore size is diminished. As skin is re-texturized, our formula helps to facilitate the absorption of topical skin treatments to maximize their efficacy.
This polishing cream is formulated with "diatomatious earth"” – crushed microshells derived from ocean sand – as well as a powerful ingredient used by dermatologists to perform micro-dermabrasion procedures. The formula further helps to soothe skin with a blend of Willow Herb and nurturing sea algaenates.
The formula contains two highly effective skin-sloughing ingredients: a skin-polishing silica (micronized shells – referred to scientifically as “Diatomatious Earth”” ) and micro-dermabrasion crystals”. The two particles compliment one another, enhancing their ability to thoroughly, yet safely eliminate the dead cells located in the epidermis – or upper layer of the skin. Our formula resurfaces these superficial layers of skin and further enhances cell renewal at the skin-surface level.
