Neutrogena at home Microdermabrasion :-(

[Angie2006]

Don't waste your hard earned cash! I have epidermx and use it once a week or so but thought if I could find an applicator it'd go a bit better so I went to WalMart and got this Neutrogene kit because it had an applicator. Well, it cost $33 and when I get it out of the box I see it only vibrates, doesn't move around or side to side at all. I thought it would go in a circular motion and maximize the dermabrading....well, we know what they say about assumptions :eusa_wall:

So, since I had it out of the box I went ahead and gave it a whirl. Epidermx on one side of my face, the neutrogena on the other side. The applicator did absolutely NOTHING for the process. I ended up using my fingers anyway and the neutrogena side was not a good as the epidremx side. The neutrogene was hard to rinse off too. Won't waste money on that again :eusa_snooty:

If anyone wants to try it, I still have an unused applicator and the entire rest of the jar of cream left. You pay shipping, I'll send it.

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Thanks for the info on this cause I wanted to check Epidermix.

Epidermx makes skin feel like a baby. Last time I looked, someone was selling samples on ebay.

Thanks for the warning--I was really considering buying this!

Hi fire69, i know exactly how you feel. I have a few MD treatments including Epidermix and i also bought one of the applicatiors.I bought the Youthful Essence applicator and have tried all the MD treatments in conjunction with the so called machine,only to feel very dissapointed indeed! I thought the applicator would do all the work even though it does move around on the face as it should,but instead i finsihed the MD manually.I felt the applicator total was a waste of money.

sorry it didn't work for you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> i have it, but i haven't used it enough to be able to tell. i was thinking about starting it up again because i keep hearing people rave about it. different strokes for different folks, i guess!

 

[Angie2006]

The epedermx difference is immediately noticeable...this stuff....no change whatsoever. I really wasn't looking for a new MD, just thought an applicator would be easier for the epidermx. Applicator=no good, Neutrogena MD cream=no good (IMHO)

I won't use it and I'll tell my mother also, becuse I saw her looking at it!

Whoa! I hate it didn't work out. I don't have this..but, I usually like Neutrogena products..but may skip this one...

Mary Kay has an awesome Microdermabrasion. If you have a consultant, see if she would give you a sample just to try and compare to the others you have tried. If you don't have a consultant, I could get you a sample to try.

i think fingers work better when applying than the machine. you can really control the pressure and where exactly you want it. i've read bad reviews for the nuetrogena.

I agree with the fingers, cannot live with out my thermal fusion which is like a chemical peel without the peel and a microdermabrasion all in one. I am not to much on the technology side /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I will keep mental note, thanks for sharing this.
