The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion GLOW BOOSTING 100ml With CAMU CAMU For Weekly Home-Spa Exfoliation for Brighter Clearer Skin

Product Information

You may have heard that vitamin C is one of the best ingredients to look for in a skin care product due to its ability to brighten and firm the skin. While brands can claim this to be true for any ingredient, there is scientific data that proves vitamin C exerts potent antioxidant activity. Like other antioxidants, vitamin C is capable of protecting the skin from free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Specifically, vitamin C donates electrons to neutralize ROS such as the superoxide ion and peroxide that are generated when the skin is exposed to UV light. This is important because the harmful effects of ROS occur as direct chemical alterations of the cellular DNA, the cell membrane and the cellular proteins, including collagen. Damaged collagen manifests as signs of premature aging of the skin, including wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin. Thus, vitamin C’s ability to protect collagen within skin makes it an ideal ingredient to include in anti-aging skincare products. Formulation insight

If you’ve ever tried PMD Beauty’s Personal Microderm Classic device and loved it, this ultra-upgraded version goes one better. It’s super-easy to handle, comes in a travel-friendly case, and uses discs embedded with aluminium oxide crystals to deliver the most effective microdermabrasion treatment we’ve tried at home. Obagi Professional-C ® Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask has been infused with 30% L-ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) to unveil dramatically brighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin after just one application.

I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t find my skin looking “brighter” but I rarely find my skin looks this way for many products that claim it. I don’t know if that’s just my skin (maybe I always look bright enough?) or whether it’s me not being very observant. But this is one of those claims that I think sounds good in the long-term but may not show visible results. Obagi Professional-C Serums available in 10%, 15% & 20% concentrations work to lighten, brighten and soften skin. They are particularly effective when used in conjunction with the Obagi Nu-Derm® systems. Obagi Professional-C Peptide Complex helps to improve skin firmness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with key ingredients, kinetin and zeatin – synthetic forms of plant growth factors – and of course there’s Vitamin C in here too! Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). With 30% L-ascorbic Acid, this face mask exfoliates and primes the skin to deliver instant, long-lasting results. Ultra-fine crystals work to remove dull, dead skin cells leaving your skin smooth and radiant, while rich emollients and skin conditioning botanical oils minimise dryness.

Here, she'll share the freshly released heroes that she loves: ready to let you know where to spend your skin and hair care cash.I personally prefer exfoliators to feel a little bit rough, and like they working but I understand other people wont. It actually doesn’t feel as rough as other products I’ve used like Sand&Skys Australian Clay. The product doesn’t act like just a face wash either, its a scrub through and through. So because of this, I definitely think it was removing dead skin cells and helping to clean my skin even more. It's why budget supermarket Aldi is following in the footsteps of ingredient-led yet inexpensive brands like The Ordinary, Inkey List and Beauty Pie and is launching a brand-new premium skincare range that promises beauty lovers high-quality ingredients without the hefty price tag. These are being sold under the shop's 'Lacura' range. Having microdermabrasion is usually safe if it's done by an experienced and suitably qualified practitioner.

For such a high-end product, we found this device incredibly easy to get to grips with. And the best bit?

Vitamin C Microdermabrasion has fine exfoliating micro particles and crushed garnet stones. This acts as a manual exfoliation when you’re applying with your hands or a cloth, and needs work to correctly exfoliate. Manual exfoliation immediately made me think that it would be a good exfoliator to get rid of dirt and excess skin, however I was worried it could damage my skin as it could be quite rough and cause small tears if not properly treated. Obagi Professional-C Serum 15% is a powerful daily antioxidant serum is made with 15% pure L-ascorbic, the industry’s gold standard of vitamin C to help defend all day from free radicals and works to brighten skin tone and reduce signs of past skin damage.

PMD Personal Microderm Elite Pro: Best overall microdermabrasion toolI’ve already mentioned that my skin felt clearer, clean and smooth which are the key benefits to exfoliation in general. For The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion, one of the key selling points was around smoother skin. My skin did feel smoother, and especially around my forehead where dry skin was building up. My skin immediately after use did look slightly red (but not as red as other products!) – but then this returned to normal, and I found that even irritated areas such as spots looked better too.
