Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator is a powder exfoliant that helps you achieve smooth and radiant skin. Achieve brighter, smoother skin every day with this iconic exfoliating powder. This powder exfoliant is activated when in contact with water, releasing papain, salicylic acid, and rice enzymes. Moreover, phytic acid present in rice bran also has exfoliating properties. These ingredients will act synergically with the physical mechanism of the powder to exfoliate thus removing dead skin cells. In addition, white tea and licorice help balance uneven skin tone while allantoin and colloidal oatmeal calm and soothe the skin. This exfoliant contains an ultra-fine powder so it is gentle and suitable for daily use, helping to balance pigmentation and improve skin texture. All in all, this product combines all three types of exfoliation - chemical, physical and enzymatic - revealing smoother and brighter skin. The founder Jane Wurwand was inspired by her time at a Japanese hot spring to develop this product. Conversely, the packaging takes inspiration from a parmesan cheese shaker.
