(More customer reviews)I was at Target last weekend looking at this product. There was a woman right next to me that noticed me putting it back on the shelf and walking away. She stopped me and told me that she was using it and it worked really well. She had a great deal of discoloration on her face - probably sun damage (I wish now I had asked). But I noticed much of it was peeling off, revealing smooth, pink skin. She told me that was a direct result of the micro-dermabrasion kit. With every use, she could see more and more of the discoloration fading. She went on and on about how wonderful this was and eventually her husband came looking for her. When he overheard her talking to me, he chimed in and also had many great things to say about it. He assured me he had seen a remarkable improvement in his wife's skin since she started using it.
So I decided it was worth a try. I don't have sun damage or hardly any wrinkles yet, but I do have a lot of red and pink scars or marks left behind from acne. Not pitting, just discoloration. I was hoping this system would help diminish the appearance of these marks.
Well, I'm happy to report that it does. I've used it six times now and I have seen those marks fade dramatically. Yippee!!!
However, I feel obliged to mention that I've not followed the directions to a T. I had been using Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle/Anti-Blemish cream for quite some time with very positive results. This cream contains Retinal and Salicylic Acid. The directions for the Micro-Dermabrasion kit said that you should discontinue use of these products while using it. Well, I couldn't bear the thought of parting with this miracle cream since it had done so much for me, so I decided to try using it the morning after the micro-dermabrasion and it didn't bother me. So the next night I put it on right after I was finished and it still didn't bother me. So I've kept using Retinal and Salicylic Acid - against their advice, but it's been working really well for me. But I need to mention that I do not have sensitive skin at all. In fact, I've continue using Proactiv cleanser in the shower, which has a very similar texture as the Micro Dermabrasion cream so it exfoliates much the same way. In addition, it contains Benzoyl Peroxide. And yet my skin still has not had an adverse reaction. Quite the opposite in fact. Furthermore, I've used the micro-dermabrasion kit more often than recommended. The first two nights I used it as directed. But on days three and four, I used it in the morning as well as before bed. I can't help but think that continued use of my favorite products in addition to the micro-dermabrasion twice a day has been the reason why I've seen such dramatic improvement in my skin's texture and appearance. My skin hasn't looked this good since before I hit puberty - and I'm a ripe 38 years now!
But I strongly recommend following the directions from Neutrgena initially. Wait and see how your skin reacts and ease into a more aggressive skin-care routine gradually so you can see how much your own skin can withstand. Good luck!
