I've been using this now for a few years, and I love it. On a whim I went and got a facial at a spa, and paid an arm and a leg for it, and when I came out, my face felt and looked no better than when I was done using the MK Microderm. That's not really a slight on the spa, but more of a compliment to how well Mk Microderm works, it's spa quality. And I can buy a whole set for about 1/2 of what one facial costs me and I get a few months use out of it. The common gripe with this product is that the seconds step doesn't moisturize enough. That is NOT what it is supposed to do. So, make sure you use your regular moisturizer after you've cleansed your face and done microderm steps one and two. After a few uses I was able to notice a visible difference in my skin tone, and after only one use I was able to see a GREAT difference in how my make up went on much smoother. This is probably my favorite MK Product of all time.

Fine grains, affordable and great results! I use to use Kate Somerville, which is still a great product - but it costs an arm and leg.

I tried Mary Kay Microdermabrasion because I got a free sample. It works great! Scrubs off gently all those dry skin cells and really brightens up my skin tone! Over time, I see my skin looking healthier!

It keeps my products consistent since I use the Mary Kay cleansers and moisturizers and keeps the pH in my skin balanced. Mary Kay makes sure that all products are consistent within and that they can be combined with other products in their product line. LOVE LOVE LOVE

I love this kit. I have sensitive acne prone skin and exfoliating with other products left my skin super sensitive and later lead to a break out. This is very gentle. I use this after I have removed all my makeup and cleansed by skin. I then leave my face moist and massage gently in circles all over my face. I use this once a week - depending on how my skin feels I may use it twice but I try not to overdo it with exfoliating. After washing this out I apply step 2 Timewise Replenishing Serum and when its dry I will apply my usual moisturiser.

I have fair, acne prone combination skin, so I am always exfolliating my skin. I have tried a number of microdermabrasion kits, and this one is really worth trying. Its gentle, and really improved the texture of my skin. I use it about twice a week. It has not made me break out, and I've actually noticed an overall improvement to my skin. I havent even gotten my monthly hormone breakouts around my mouth since I started using this product. Its a little pricey at $55, but it does last awhile and I will definitely keep this product in my arsenal.

I ordered a travelpackage just to try out and so far I LOVE this stuff!

Step 1: Not comparable to facial scrubs I have used. It really is MICROdermabrasion without hurting or irritating the skin. The grit is very fine and gentle. No scent and it feels really good massaging my skin with it!

Step 2:
The replenish part also feels very good. The light lotion feels like a serum, it has no scent and is almost immediately absorbed by my skin. After the replenish part I do have to use my own moisturizer.

After using this my skin feels soft as a babies behind!!
I end up with smooth skin, healthy glow, smaller pores and more even skintone.

I think timewise microdermabrasion set is worth paying for, since I get same (or even better) results as going to a spa/salon. I will definatly purchase the full set.

I LOVE this product--though I am only reviewing the scrub part, I don't use the serum. I am glad they changed it to a normal squeezy tube from the old style, I feel like I get more out of it now. I love this stuff, it's not too rough for my sensitive skin and leaves it VERY well exfoliated. I use retinoids and this helps me through the molting process I go through on the cycle of on and off of the medicines. I usually apply it while wearing little vinyl hair dye gloves because the little beads don't dissolve as quickly with the lack of skin. For some reason it works better.

Just used this for the first time tonight and i just don't like it at all. The first step wasn't harsh on my skin and i could feel it did make my face smoother however when i got out of the shower my face felt so tight like i had a clay mask on and couldn't make any facial expression or my face would crack! Second step was absolute rubbish. My face feels like i haven't moisturised it and my hands are sticky -_-
This was a complete waste of money and i wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Absolutely love this product! My skin feels refreshed after each application. I've been using it as my main exfoliator for about 2 years now

Great product. I love its texture, its not too rough, I received it as a gift and now I am obssessed with it. I use it twice a week and find my skin looking more fresh and have noticed fewer breakouts. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I have once in a while gotten a little overzealous and that will cause a bit of a flaring of my skin.
The antioxident serum that comes with it is ok.. I like the texture and how it feels on my skin but other than that Im not sure what its supposed to do. But considering my skin has been looking better with the combined treatment i will continue using both religiously.
