I have to admit, I am not the biggest Kiehl’s fan. I have experienced only minimal success with most of their product line, however I absolutely love their Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion treatment.
I have been using this product religiously (2-3 times a week) for a year. It leaves my skin super smooth without the raw irritated feeling I have experienced from other scrubs.
This polishing cream is formulated with crushed microshells derived from ocean sand in a shea butter base. There is no fragrance or added acids, which is probably why it doesn’t irritate my skin like other scrubs.
Although this product is expensive, it is nowhere near as expensive (or time consuming) as spa/salon micro-dermabrasion treatments. As a result of this product combined with the rest of my beauty routine my complexion looks just as good (if not better) than when I used visit an esthetician monthly.
Have you tried this product and if so, do you love it as much as I do?
UPDATE 04/23/10: Recently I have been spending a lot of time and energy learning about ingredients that are often found in beauty products. As a result, I no longer endorse this particular product due to the fact that it contains parabens such as methylparaben and butylparaben as well as other chemicals.

did u mean kiehls have bad chemicals inside?
@gegolickbaby yes – Kiehl’s products often contain toxic ingredients like parabens. Personally I was surprised to discover this – now I know. This is why it is so important to read the complete list of ingredient and not rely on what the sales clerk at the store tells you.
