No7 Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion Face Exfoliator

Product Information

Given that chemical exfoliants dissolve dead skin cells rather than sloughing them away, they are often less likely to irritate sensitive skin than scrubs. That said, there are plenty of physical exfoliators that feature finer, softer abrasives to relieve dryness gently. If in doubt, or if you have an inflammatory skin condition, always consult a dermatologist or doctor. How we test body scrubs and exfoliators Three NEW No7 Pro Age Cleansers are in the centre of the frame facing forward. The products shown are: Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced DUAL ACTION Cleansing Water, Lift & Luminate DUAL ACTION Cleansing Exfoliator, and Restore & Renew DUAL ACTION Cleansing Lotion.] If you’re eager to start fake tanning to top up any residual glow from the summer, you’ll need to resurface the top layers of skin for an even tan, whatever your skin type. The bottle at the bottom of the frame then exits to the left to reveal a video of a woman massaging the product on to her face. The central text is replaced with PRIMES FOR REFRESHED & LUMINOUS LOOKING SKIN.]

A daily dual-action exfoliating cleanser reveals refreshingly clean, smoother and radiant looking skin. One glowing review read: "Who needs botox? I’ve been considering Botox on my forehead but after using this for 1 month my fine lines have disappeared. I’m delighted. This product is also amazing for skin texture. I’ve had so many compliments, my skin is glowing. Treat yourself and buy this." Apricot Seeds - contain high concentration of fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. For this reason, apricot seed oil may serve as a viable emollient that can improve skin hydration. They promote the removal of damaged skin cells from the skin's surface, leaving behind a softer, smoother skin texture. Formulated with gentle exfoliators, fruit extracts and Vitamin C, No7 exfoliating cleanser helps even skin texture and minimise the look of imperfections for skin that looks firmer, smoother and perfectly prepped for the rest of your skincare routine.

The No7 logo then exits the frame to the left, and the text THE 1st STEP IN YOUR AGE-DEFYING ROUTINE appears from the right of the frame and positions itself centrally.] Chemical exfoliants tend to be milder and less disruptive to sensitive skin than physical ones, as explained by Dr Hula above, but many of our recommended products actually contain a clever combination of the two. Some have had their rough, chunky textures softened by oils or honey, some feel more like smooth moisturiser to apply, and others sit somewhere in between — think small beads swimming through silky creams.

I use this product every Monday. My skin is very soft after being able to remove dead skin cells and impurities. I use No7 advanced day cream 7 days a week as well as the night cream. I look not a day over 45-no wrinkles-and turned 66 this year!" Not only does resurfacing the top layer of skin remove these dead cells and lift dirt, but it also allows for better absorption of nourishing moisturisers and body oils deeper into the epidermis. For best results: Gently massage into wet skin, avoiding the delicate eye area and wash away with warm water. Use as the first step of your morning and evening age-defying regime and follow with your No7 Lift & Luminate Serum & Moisturiser.

For a gentler yet still effective alternative, Dr Hula suggests chemical exfoliation, which reaches deeper into your skin to improve its overall health. Physical exfoliation involves the use of physical abrasives, such as scrubs or brushes, to physically remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin,” she explains. “Chemical exfoliation uses chemical compounds, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), to dissolve the intercellular glue that holds dead skin cells together.” Look for AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, which exfoliate the top layers of your skin and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation,” she advises. “BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) such as salicylic acid are oil-soluble and can penetrate further into pores to unclog them and prevent breakouts." Is physical or chemical exfoliation best for my skin type? A fourth gushed: "I’m a single parent on a budget. Last things on your list a skin care products. Until I found this product. It is my facial saviour, if nothing else I use this micro-dermabrasion twice weekly. The changes to my skin are instant, my face feels smoother and looks younger instantly. I wouldn’t lie about the impact this product has as I know budgets are tight. But this product works like magic and really does make your skin instantly feel younger. It improves your pores and reduces any fine lines that you have started to notice. I’m 43 and paying more attention then ever to fine lines but if I wasn’t using the No7 total renewal micro-dermabrasion I’m sure I’d look older. Great product Great outcomes Great price."
