2.5 oz Microdermabrasion Crystals Exfoliating Skin Care

I have bought several products from Skin Obsession and I absolutely love every single one of them. This one is no exception... I love it too! It is a small bottle! Other reviewers complained about the size. I guess they did not understand what they were buying because I knew it was going to be a small bottle, however you are only using a small amount every time. Even with a small bottle I see this lasting for a while. I use a little bit with my daily cleanser which is Cetaphil and I think it works perfectly. These crystals are not something I'm going to use every day but definitely see a benefit to using it once every week. These leave my skin feeling smooth and soft and by using the Skin Obsession products I have had clear skin for a long time. I am very very pleased and would recommend Skin Obsession products to anyone with problem skin.By the way I just turned 38 this summer and I have experienced adult onset acne for the last few years. It was never horrible but it was enough to make me self-conscious and it was regularly during certain times of the month sometimes hormonal, sometimes not. Whatever the cause of my acne was, Skin Obsession has definitely improved my complexion, my pore size, and reduced the number of breakouts significantly. They are nearly non-existent and have been for a long time. I really love these products!7/7/19This little bottle has lasted two years with weekly and biweekly use. I'm getting ready to order again. Anyone on the fence about this product really should try it!

I'm not going to mince words here: this is the best exfoliator I've ever tried. That's saying a lot since as a former makeup artist and recent skin care junky I've tried more exfoliating formulas than I can count and have always gone back to the same one (Clinique) for over 25 years.The crystals are the perfect size and texture; I could not imagine them being effective by the looks - they are super fine, smaller than table salt grains yet, extremely effective. You just need a tiny bit and it works with just water!After one use, the skin on my face felt totally transformed. Not exaggerating here; my health has been facing a bit of a challenge over the past several months and I was put back on cortico steriods which just ruin the skin. Dull complexion, breakouts, dryness, hyper-pigmentation and the list goes on. Over the past few months I had been re-trying ALL of my old five star standbys but had very little success at bringing my skin back to where it was prior to the change in prescription status. With just the first use of the crystals the difference was dramatic!My face was a little red for about two hours after using the crystals so I'd suggest you don't use this just prior to going out. After the redness subsided, my pores looked smaller, my skin appeared less dull/more healthy, the dry patches were gone and my face felt softer than it has in months. And that's all after ONE use.Such a tiny bottle - worth every penny and then some though; this size should last for months.Well, my skin still has a ways to go before it's restored to a condition I'd call *glowing* but this is a HUGE first step in the right direction.Will *definitely* purchase again and HIGHLY recommended.

I started using this product in Fall 2008. We are now a couple months away from Fall 2010.Here are the pros and cons of this product:Pros:1) A little goes a long way. A bottle of this product can last a couple months!2) It's just Aluminum Oxide crystals. I can't use a lot of products because of severe allergies, but this product does not irritate my skin at all.3) I have had professional microderm treatments before, and I think this is pretty comparable in the way it makes my skin feel after I use it.4) For the type of product you get and how long it lasts, it's pretty cheap.5) I feel like it improves the appearance of my skinCons:1) You are not getting the amount advertised. As noted in an earlier review, this is pretty dishonest. Of course, they may be looking at the overall shipping weight. But still, the manufacturers should advertise the amount of CRYSTALS in the bottle.2) Did I say bottle in Con # 1? Yes, yes I did. You do not get the cute clear plastic container advertised. You get a plastic bottle: the type you'd put your favorite shampoo in while on vacation. As a result, you can't really get all of it out at the end.So that's my review. Seriously, for as cheap as it is, just give it a try. I would be interested in knowing if someone finds a comparable product from a different vendor, and how much it costs.

These crystals are fantastic. The amount they send you is pretty small, but first of all, this is not something you would use every day, (I use it just once a week), and number 2, you only need a very small amount, perhaps half a teaspoon or so. Therefore, this small bottle should last you several months. Anybody who uses this product can tell you this is not the same as those facial scrubs you buy at the grocery store. Those are nice for everyday exfoliating, but the difference between those and what these crystals do to your face is amazing! Your complexion has such a polished, fresh look. Everyone seems to have their own way of using them. My personal technique is to use right before I jump in the shower, and right after I've shaved. I wet my face with warm water, then sprinkle a small amount in the palm of my hand with a small amount of plain water and rub all over my face for about a minute, then step in the shower and wash like normal with my regular facial soap. Some people like to mix the crystals with their facial soap, but that lubricates them a little, and diminishes their effectiveness. However we all have our own way of using this, as well as any other product, so like with everything else, find what works for you. These are best used as part of an overall skin regimen, (I also use the facial peels, drink lots of water, and wear a moisturizing sun screen every day). Give this product a try. You'll be glad you did.
