Hi, everyone I finally found some time to write some reviews (I've written a couple of posts in advance)! So today I'll be reviewing Derma e's microdermabrasion scrub, I got this as a sample in my December 2015 box. I wish I could say I liked this product but I can't. I'll go into more details later but first pictures!

Directions to use:
Apply to wet skin. Gently scrub desired areas in a circular motion for up to 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly warm water. Pat dry.
Ingredients:
Purified Water (Aqua), Stearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Alumina, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Essential Oil, Carrageenan (Irish Moss), Magnesium Oxide (Dead Sea Salt), Citrus Limon (Lemon) Essential Oil, Citrus Sinensis (Sweet Orange) Essential Oil, Hydrated Aluminum Silicate (Kaolin Clay), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Volcanic Sand (Pumice), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil* (.1%), Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
So the reason why I wasn't a fan of this product was because it's not really meant for people with acne. I'm not saying that it's a horrible product but it definitely irritated my skin and even on my forehead where I have little to none acne it still felt too harsh. I only used this scrub about four times before I decided that I needed to go back to my regular exfoliator. Because I still have plenty of product left I gave it to my sister to try, so we'll see how that goes (she doesn't have acne and her skin is less sensitive than mine).
What I do like about this product is that it has natural ingredients, vegan, cruelty-dree, and paraben-free. I always like skincare products that have natural ingredients because it just makes my skin feel better and healthier.
Because I got this through Birchbox as a sample I'll let you guys know the full-size prices!
Birchbox - $32.50
Derma e - $32.50 (it's currently on sale for ($29.25 - but is subject to change)Amazon - $19.30 (You save $13.30 - 41% off - also subject to change)
Pros:
Natural Ingredients
Paraben-free
Vegan
Cruelty-free
Cons:
It's a bit expensive (depending on where you buy it)
It can irritate skin
Not meant for acne prone skin
Would I buy this again?
No, it's absolutely too harsh on my skin
