The Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is one of my all-time favorite skincare products, and the Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator has been revealed as the brand’s latest launch.
The original Daily Microfoliant is a white powder, which you shake from the bottle into your palm, and you mix it with a few drops of water, before rubbing your hands together to create a paste, which you then apply to the face.
It truly works wonders, and somehow it manages to be super effective at exfoliating the skin, whilst also being gentle enough to not leave the skin feeling irritated or depleted of moisture. So, I’m really excited about this newest addition to the range…
Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator
“Make peace with daily exfoliation. Dermalogica’s Daily Milkfoliant exfoliator gently polishes to reveal smoother, more vibrant skin, replenishes and restores skin’s moisture barrier and relieves skin with calming and soothing ingredients.”
The Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator is $64, and contains 74g / 2.6oz of product. The original Microfoliant has a white bottle, with a grey lid.
Whereas the new Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator has a cornflower blue bottle, but the packaging design is exactly the same.
This brand new formula is described as having a calming oat-based formulation, which works as both a physical and chemical exfoliant all-in-one.
It’s designed to gently polish the skin, to leave it smoother, and more vibrant, whilst also replenishing and supporting the skin’s moisture barrier.
Compared to the original Microfoliant, the Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator is said to relieve the skin, with calming and soothing ingredients.
Key Ingredients
- Coconut Milk: smoothes for softer skin.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): help polish way dead skin cells.
- Papain Extract: helps to resurface skin.
- Saccharide: works with Atomized Sea Salt, and Hyaluronic Acid to help support the skin’s moisture barrier.
- Oat Bran Extracts: replenish and help sooth skin.
How To Use The Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator?
- Dispense a half-teaspoon into wet hands and create a creamy lather by rubbing hands together.
- Apply to face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
- Massage gently for one minute, then rinse thoroughly.
If you found the original Dermalogica Microfoliant to be too harsh for your skin, the Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator sounds like the perfect alternative.
I must have repurchased the original formula at least four times, and the bottle lasts for absolutely ages, as you only need such a small amount of ‘powder’ per use.
I, myself, can’t wait to try the Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator, to see how it compares to the original, and if you fancy finding out more, it’s available right now.
