At-Home Derm-Grade Resurfacer Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion Exfoliator
A brilliantly simple physical exfoliator that does one thing and does it exceptionally well. Pharmaceutical-grade aluminum oxide crystals in a moisturizing cream base deliver professional-grade resurfacing at home for under $18. No fancy actives, no complicated routine — just immediate smoothness and brightness that has made this a No7 bestseller for over a decade.
Cult Classic Physical Scrub Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Face Cream
A genuinely effective, genuinely aggressive physical exfoliator that has earned two decades of cult status by using actual aluminum oxide crystals rather than the softer beads most 'scrubs' rely on. The immediate smoothing is real, but modern derm guidance has moved toward chemical exfoliation, and the price and fragrance load make it hard to recommend enthusiastically in 2026.
Pore-Focused Derm Scrub PoresDermabrasion Pore Perfecting Exfoliator
A pore-focused twist on Dr. Brandt's classic microdermabrasion formula, adding salicylic acid and caviar lime extract to the alumina base for a three-layer exfoliation attack. Effective for oily, congested skin, but the alcohol denat and menthol content, fragrance load, and $58 price make it a harder recommendation than a well-formulated daily BHA at a fraction of the cost.
