I would like to start using a microdermabrasion product but there are so many to choose from. Can you tell me please which product you use and why you like it. Also if there is any other product you use with the microdermabrasion that you like. Thanks

I just got and tried Epidermx and Silkia Camilla Oil.
Epidermx has left my very sensitive skin baby smooth after 1 treatment, no irritation/breakouts. I am probably one of the biggest skeptics for beauty stuff being a cosmetologist/hairdresser/former spa worker and this stuff works and works well. The Camilla Oil I have tried before and liked it but the combo of these 2 products is truly fantastic. I have tried a few of the other microd kits inc. the very expensive Prescriptives one but never had the results of anything like I got with this. I have sun damage/scarring, etc and my skin tone/clarity/smoothness was improved with even this one use.
I got the items off one of the auction sites, a small trial was 6 bucks plus shipping and the full size Epidermx was about 45 and Camilla Oil was 12 plus shipping on each.

Agree with the Epidermx. It's one of the best, if not the best microderm cream out there. I've been using it for a couple of months and everytime I use it, I still see improvement in terms of clarity and smoothness. I also use camellia oil with it as an after treatment moisturizer. They have given back much hydration and lustre to my dehydrated face. My face has a luminous glow nowadays. My acne scars and lines have been drastically reduced also.

What does the microdermabrasion do for the face anyways? Does it give the skin an even tone and reduces blemishes?

I have always been curious.

Microdermabrasion is a very popular non-invasive skin-freshening technique that safely removes the dead, outer layers of the skin to reveal younger looking skin underneath. It stimulates new skin cells and collagen production and gives skin an overall fresh, healthy looking glow.

Yes, it gives the skin an even tone and reduces blemishes. It's great for brighening dull skin, clearing up oily skin, evening out uneven skin texture, getting rid of blackheads/whiteheads, unclogging pores, reducing pores, age spots, pigment irregularities, fine lines and acne scarring.
