It’s defintely not too harsh! It does manage to clear most of my skin but at the same time it helps add moisture back into the skin which is why your skin will feel so soft and smooth after using it!

I know right! I’m loving this product – and the ingredients are definitely key! Having an emollient in any product that could be harsh helps keep my eczema in check I think!

“Microdermabrasion” is a fancy name for a physical exfoliator, so yes it’s just a normal exfoliator! It’s named this way to differentiate it from chemical based exfoliators which don’t have the scrub-like particles.

Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion’s got so many ingredients that moisturise, calm and heal the skin too, so it’s perfect for sensitive skin (unless you react badly to Vitamin C).

This review is great, thanks for detailing why the ingredients make this product good!

If you also suffer from dry patches or blocked pores then I think you should try using a scrub in your routine to alleviate those issues, although if not then it may be safer sticking to a normal cleansing routine without much exfoliation if it hasn’t worked well for your skin in the past. For the Vitamin C Microdermabrasion in particular, I would suggest no for you as both the exfoliation element and the use of Vitamin C could work poorly on your skin if it’s not used to it and sensitive. I recommend finding a more gentle scrub (Like Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula, which is a daily scrub but you can use less often to test it).

This scrub feels rough but it doesn’t seem to irritate me at all! I would test it away from your eyes first as some people don’t get along with Vitamin C as an ingredient, and then try it on more sensitive areas.

I’ve not really used forums much! But I use social media a lot and I’ve wrote a post about supporting bloggers and also getting involved in the community which includes ways to talk to others with similar interests if that is helpful for you! Feel free to reach out via DMs too 🥰
