Javelina's Full Review: Biore Even Smoother Microderm Exfoliator 3.0 oz.
I have found that my skin needs good exfoliation. I used to use a microdermabrasion system that I loved, but then I never bought refills, and who knows where the parts are now! I find that a lot of exfoliation products aren't "strong" enough for my skin, so I am always on the lookout for something that might do a good job. I have had a lot of mixed feelings about various Biore products, but when I saw their new Microderm Exfoliator, I thought I would give it a try.
"You want your skin to feel smooth, and yet you're starting to notice a few dry rough patches – because as you age, skin cells don't renew as fast as they used to. Remove the dull, rough surface cells so that new cells can emerge with Even Smoother™ Microderm Exfoliator, which can help achieve instantly softer, brighter skin." (Biore.com)
Biore Even Smoother Microderm Exfoliator
I bought this product I believe at Super Walmart. This product is part of a newer line of Biore products. You get a 3 oz tube of exfoliator packaged in a box. I think this ran about $11+. I was drawn to this product over others because it seems like there are so many face washes that have exfoliation in them (like exfoliating beads), which I don't like - whereas this is more specifically just an exfoliating product.
This product comes in a squeeze tube that sits on its cap, which is convenient since it is always ready to go. The cap flips open to reveal a small hole where it dispenses. This exfoliator is never messy because it doesn't drip and it dispenses neatly and easily.
The exfoliator is a sort of thick white "cream" which has a fine grain to it. My first requirement of an exfoliator is that the grains are fine, and that is definitely the case with this one. (I can't stand the products that have big grains or big beads!) This product does have a light fragrance. It is kind of a vague scent, not fruity or floral, just sort of "soapy", and is not a scent that lingers after I get out of the shower.
Biore Even Smoother goes on with a creamy feel. What I like to do is wash my face first. I only use this in the shower, since like any other exfoliator, sometimes grains end up in your hairline, eyebrows, etc., so it is easiest to rinse thoroughly in the shower. I like the creamy consistency because it stays on my face and allows me to work in the product. But, another great benefit is that it doesn't dry out my face - in fact, it leaves some moisture on my skin. This is perfect since I wash my face first and then use this product, so it is basically cleaned and then conditioned.
This exfoliator has a nice amount of grain to it and I am able to really work it into my skin, especially in "problem areas", like around my nose. The directions say "Do not use more than 3 times a week", and I definitely think especially if you have sensitive skin, you would want to take it easy with this product. My skin does get slightly reddened right after I use this exfoliator, but it makes sense because I am rubbing my skin vigorously, and rubbing it with an exfoliator. For me however, I would not consider it to be any kind of irritation, and the redness quickly subsides for me. I would say this product is very effective, yet has a gentle quality to it since it has a fine grain. (Larger grains tend to just scratch/irritate my skin).
This product washes clean despite the creamy consistency. I rub my hands over my face under the water to make sure I remove everything.
After washing and drying, my skin is smooth and soft. This product adds just a tough of moisture to my skin so that I am not left dried out, and the results are great! No dry skin and my face is smooth and renewed!
The only issues I have with this product are the price (which is actually ok), and the ingredients. I like more natural products, so it would be nice if there were less chemicals, but I wasn't expecting a natural product when I purchased this.
Overall
I really like this product, and I use it regularly to maintain my skin. It is definitely one of the better exfoliators I have tried in a while.
