If you want to get the benefits of physical and chemical exfoliation simultaneously, consider Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, $55. This effective product micro-exfoliates the skin thanks to its innovative combination of ingredients. Ahead, learn more about what this Dermalogica brightening polisher can do for your skin.

What Is Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant?
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant provides a gentle way to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This leaves skin looking brighter, smoother, and instantly revived. It has a rice-based powder formula, which is gentler than other manual exfoliation products like scrubs and facial brushes.

How Does It Work?
When the rice-based formula comes into contact with water, it activates, releasing a variety of ingredients and enzymes onto the surface of the skin. This potent combination gets rid of old skin cells, revealing the fresh-looking skin that lies beneath. With consistent use, dull skin becomes a thing of the past, and skin tone becomes brighter and more even.

What Are the Active Ingredients?
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant contains salicylic acid, a BHA exfoliant that helps to get rid of acne and shed the unwanted buildup of dead skin. It also contains papain, an enzyme that comes from the papaya fruit. When used in skin care products, papain can lighten discoloration, improve firmness, and fight off free radical damage. The rice enzymes found in this Dermalogica product have impressive brightening effects.

These active ingredients get rid of dead skin cells and reveal younger-looking skin. To ensure that it doesn't cause irritation, the Daily Microfoliant also contains ingredients that soothe and moisturize. Colloidal oatmeal, gingko, and green tea provide exfoliated skin with the hydration it needs to stay healthy and smooth.

Where Can I Find It?
This Dermalogica product can be purchased from beauty stores like Ulta. It's also available from a variety of online retailers, including the Dermalogica website.

How Do I Use It?
Thanks to its soothing combination of ingredients, Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is gentle enough for daily use. For best results, squeeze a medium-sized dollop of the product into wet hands. Rub hands together until the product has a paste-like consistency, and then apply it to a clean face. Gently scrub the product into the surface of the skin to maximize the exfoliating effects of the Microfoliant. Exfoliate for one minute, and then remove the product with lukewarm water.

What Are the Reviewers Saying?
Dermalogica Microfoliant is a great way to reveal bright smooth skin. Its impressive exfoliating powers have won it a number of fans. It won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2010 because:
