Reviews

Non irritating exfoliating lather

"Absolutely love this cleanser. The texture starts off just a little grainy than turns into this light and foamy texture. It exfoliates without stripping or irritating my skin. This one I can use daily."

— Taunya L. (5/5)

Gentle and Effective Exfoiliator

"This is an amazing exfoliant. It is super smooth, feels like it is a cream while leaving your skin fresh, rejuvenated, and smooth. I have sensitive skin and this works amazing. I can even use it twice a day if I want an extra spa like treatment for the day."

— Jessica W. (5/5)

Best cleaning product!

"I have rosacea so my skin is sensitive to many products. This is my go to product when it comes to cleansing my face at the end of my day. This product exfoliates without being harsh & leaves my skin feeling clean and soft."

— Linda L. (5/5)

milkfoliant

"I regularly use daily microfoliant and also superfoliant. I first ordered milkfoliant as a fan of Dermalogica products. I thought it was right to experiment with milkfoliant. I see that it foams less and gets less volume when dissolved with water. It is not rough. It creates a velvety and smooth texture, unlike the other two types of exfoliating powders. I cannot judge its effectiveness. I will incorporate it into my routine."

— Amir (4/5)

Obsessed

"I use this in the morning and then the superfoliant at night. My skin has clogged pores and acne from a product my skin did not react well to and this has changed everything!! My skin is finally getting back to normal and I can only thank this for that change. 5 months struggling has all gone away with this product!"

— Dianna A. (5/5)

Smoother skin

— Suzanne Z. (5/5)

Q&A

Does it cleanse while exfoliating?: Hello JinMi, Thank you for your question! Daily Milkfoliant is an exfoliating product, but it is not a cleanser and is not intended to replace your cleansing step. We recommend following a double-cleansing routine before using Daily Milkfoliant, either in the morning or evening. Daily Milkfoliant should be used once per day, as tolerated, after cleansing. We hope this helps clarify how to incorporate it into your routine. Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. Kindly, Sandra Customer Service Agent
How can it be gluten free when it contains oats?: Hello Mary, Thank you for your question and interest in Dermalogica. Although there is no standard for establishing a gluten-free designation for topical skin care products, independent laboratory testing confirms that all Dermalogica products surpass the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) ingestible standards and can therefore be considered gluten-free. Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
