    So far, this has been a really good scrub. It stays warm the entire time it is on my face, the consistency and ratio of the granules to cream is perfect, and it does an excellent job at...

    After using this, and following with Idealist, my skin feels new, soft, and super CLEAN. Although, I would prefer something with more lather.

    This is very harsh on my sensitive skin. It's not too bad as far as scrubs go, but wow, is my face red after using this! And they aren't kidding about that thermal action - it feels like my face...

    As some of the other reviewers have noted, I would also class this as a scrub, but it's probably one of the most effective scrubs I have ever used. I'm 24 and have oily, blemish prone skin. I...

    As I have very sensitive skin, I am not a fan of grainy scrubs - they scratch my skin and ultimately break me out. I tried this because an Estee Lauder SA convinced me that its THE thing to...

    the warming felt rather hot to me, immediately afterwards the skin felt good. I use it in the evening and the first time I've used it I thought I'm going to break out - but in the morning there was...

    I bought this after trying out the Idealist Skin Refinisher, hoping that both products together would work wonders on my skin. It's not as abrasive as some microdermabrasion scrubs I have used, but...

    I'm 32, with oily and somewhat sensitive skin with large pores. I got a small sample of this product on E-bay, so the quality may or may not have been up to par. It is white, liquid-y and...

    I am not sure what this product was supposed to do for me, but I used it religiously through an entire full size bottle. The heat doesn't last long, and you must be very careful and not scrub too...

    I've used my share of scrubs, and this is the best I've used yet. I think the realistic way to approach this product is that it is a scrub, and not expect the same results you would get from...

    I love the Micro-D followed by the Idealist. It makes my skin feel soo smooth and it really makes my pores noticebly smaller. The only complaint is that it is too darn expensive. I use this 1-2x...

    This stuff scares me and leaves me perplexed. The heating sensation seems like a total gimmick to me, but that's neither here nor there. The real issue is results. My skin was really soft after...

    Didn't think this was better than any other regular scrub I've used, in fact, it was quite harsh. I've been to a dermatologist for an actual microdermabrasion session and I can assure you that this...
