The Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub is made to remove dead skin cells without irritating sensitive skin. My esthetician swears by Dermalogica products and when I was in the market for a new exfoliater this was one of the first ones I researched.
Makeupalley users gave this product a 4/5 with 92 reviews strong so I went ahead and tried it out because of the overly positive response to the product. Since Dermalogica prodcuts are pretty popular its really easy to get, I ordered mine on Amazon for $22 + shipping so it isn't terribly expensive compared to other brands like Obagi or Skinceuticals.
After using this exfoliator I would recommend following up with a moisturizer because depending on your skin it might make it feel dry/tight.
"The best exfoliator I have every used! You can just leave it on your skin for a few minutes and it does the work. Leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortable afterwards. Is not abrasive and does not dry the skin. Skin looks visibly smoother and glowing afterwards. Would definately buy again."

"After using this it does make my face temporarily soft, but it's definitely not the best exfoliator I've used. It's just mediocre. It didn't really help to get rid of all my dry patches. I have acne-prone, sensitive skin so I didn't really love this product as much as I wanted to."

"This was indeed a lovely product to use! had a slightly nutty-biscuit scent and the grains weren't too sharp and scratchy. It certainly did make my t-zone smoother without making my entire face like a tomato.
It is quite expensive for the quantity you get which is probably its only real downfall."-CocoMinx @ makeupalley
"I'm an Esthetician and I use Dermalogica. It's a great product line and I LOVE their skin prep scrub. I highly recommend it! I also love that Dermalogica does not test on animals!!"

I really love this product and it’s made such a difference to my skin! It helps to keep the skin smooth and I don’t tend to get as many spots. I add a drop to the Special Cleansing Gel several times a week. It’s not cheap but none of Dermalogica’s products are, but I only tend to use their products as they really suit my skin.

I’ve been using an AHA product for a while now, and have significantly cut back the use of mechanical, detergent-based scrubs, but I still like to use one 1-2 times a month. Skin Prep Scrub isn’t irritating for my skin, and the grains aren’t problematic, as long as I remember to use only gentle pressure when applying. It leaves my skin very clean and polished. And I must add that I just absolutely love the scent of this product! Reminds me of a traditional Finnish sauna, for some reason…
I’ve been using a travel-size version, but might purchase the full-size one in the future.
