What it is
Daily Microfoliant is a rice-powder exfoliating cleanser that turns creamy on contact with water. Dermalogica says it is recommended for all skin types and is commonly used to address dullness, uneven texture and uneven skin tone.
Key ingredients
- Rice powder enzymes: the powder gently lifts away dulling surface debris when activated with water.
- Papain: a papaya-derived enzyme that helps loosen dead skin cells.
- Salicylic acid: helps smooth rough texture and supports a clearer-looking finish.
How to use
Dispense a small amount into wet hands, create a creamy paste and gently massage it over damp skin. Dermalogica says the product is gentle enough for daily use after cleansing, followed by a thorough rinse.
Who should be careful
This is a powder exfoliant with salicylic acid and enzyme activity, so people who are sensitive to acids or exfoliants should start slowly and avoid overusing it. The product page says Dermalogica formulas never use artificial fragrances, but this is general product information, not medical advice.
