Reviews
Old Reliable
"This is been a staple in my weekly skincare routine for years. There is something about the granules in this exfoliate that don’t make you feel like your sandpaper in your skin. Once or twice a week is all it takes. And it’s the perfect clean slate necessary to allow other skin products to penetrate deeply and quickly. I love this one."
— Rebecca M. (5/5)

"My face always looks so much smoother, shiner, healthier, and radiant. I absolutely love adding this into my rotation of face products!"

Best Deep Clean Ever!!!
"The Multivitamin Thermafoliant is 1 of my top 3 Dermalogica products that I use every week. That’s a “big deal” in my situation since I use 8-10 Dermalogica products regularly. I have combo skin which for me is equates to my forehead and chin being super oily and my cheeks are dryer with large pores. I use the Thermafoliant 4-5x per week and it stops breakouts completely since it exfoliates as I rub in on to my face and then it liquifies in to a serum/lotion that soaks into my pores. I highly recommend it to anyone with oily skin or combo. Try scrubbing it on your face and letting it sit while you shower so the steam helps it soaks it further. In my opinion it’s about 2-3x more course than the microfoliant."
— Heather K. (5/5)
