(More customer reviews)I'm not a girl with too many gifts in life, but one I do have is great skin. Unfortunately, this genetic boon has made me somewhat lackadaisical about my skincare regimen. Now that I'm in my 40's, it's time to get a little more serious about this.
I've been using the DDF Revolve 400X Micro-Polishing System for two weeks now. When it arrived, the first thing I did was pop in the batteries and test it on the back of my hand. It felt great! Upon reading the instructions, I thought, "Doing this for one minute a day is not going to be enough." But actually, it is.
I've been using the machine exactly as recommended. It comes with two different types of heads used for two different activities. The soft-bristled brush can be used for daily cleansing--except for on days when you use the flat sponge head for exfoliation.
The first time I used my foaming cleanser with the brush head, I applied the cleanser directly to the device (as opposed to my skin) and I wondered if it would foam up like crazy. The micro-polisher spread the cleanser fine, but everything was sort of dry and not that foamy. I quickly learned that things are much more comfortable if you re-wet the brush head once or twice as you go. Using the machine on my skin does feel great. I start out at the lower speed and work my way up to the higher one. My thoughts of scrubbing my face for ten minutes at a time were way off-base. This is a fairly intense cleansing. There's nothing remotely irritating about it, but the recommended minute is really all you need. You can just tell. When I was done, my skin felt super clean and super smooth and just really, really good. And, FWIW, I now find that I'm more diligent in my use of sun screen, night cream, moisturizer, etc.
The next day I tried out the exfoliation function. It's recommended that you not do this more than twice a week, which seems about right. I'm sure that once a week will be plenty for many. For exfoliation, use one of the two included sponge heads. These sponges are firm and dense, like the kind you use to apply makeup. You'll also use a small amount (half a teaspoon) of the included DFF Polishing Crystals. Here, rather than on the machine head, I placed small dollops around my cheeks and chin. (It seemed less spreadable than the cleanser.) The cream has a very gritty texture, and when used it was noticeably self-warming, as advertised. Here again, I'd recommend thoroughly saturating the sponge head with water before use, and re-wetting if necessary so things don't get too dry and abrasive. And don't overdo exfoliation; it's like sand-blasting your face--but in a good way, LOL.
Again, I felt great and tingly after using the micro-polisher to exfoliate. To be honest, I suspect my esthetician would say that the polishing crystals are too abrasive to be used for exfoliation. (She always says that about things that feel good.) So, when my supply runs out, I'll probably continue to use the machine with a gentler product that she recommends.
I'll note again that I don't have any skin problems to cope with. Users with sensitive skin, rosacia, acne, or other issues may find their results to be more or less optimal than mine. Should I experience anything not noted here with extended use, I will update this review accordingly.
I see that some reviewers aren't pleased with the value of this product. I'll be honest, I find it hard to judge. I never purchase these sorts of luxury items, so I can't effectively compare it to similar products. All I can tell you is that I'm quite delighted with this little machine. While it is costly, it seems to be doing its job quite well, and it offers me a minute of real indulgence in my day. Like I said, it's a highlight.
