Side by Side Comparison of: Neutrogena

I have fallen love with this microdermabrasion system. I started using it about 3 months ago and love how it makes my older skin feel. I definitely feel that my face absorbs serums, creams, etc better after using this. I know that I don't use it enough but I'm trying.

Had been looking for a gentle mechanical exfoliater and this one fits the bill and my wallet. I Only use once or twice a week and it really does a great job. After use my serums absorb and sink into my skin so much better.Have been using awhile and pads last awhile with proper cleaning. I use alcohol to sterilize them after use. They don't suds up very well but that's fine with me because I'd rather use my own cleanser.

I bought this product from Amazon years ago, and I'm still using it to microderm my face. I can happily say that after 3-4 years of use, this product is still going strong for me and is a regular tool in my beauty arsenal. I found that at first, I was using it too often as my skin began to dry out and get rough and flaky looking. However, I was using it about every day in the winter time - I don't know what I was thinking. After that initial experience, I toned it down drastically after doing research that said microdermabrasion should be done no more than once a week - especially when it's a rough pad like this one has.After that mishap, the rest is history; my skin has never been so soft and glow-y. I use it once a week, run it around the different zones of my face for two minutes as Neutrogena suggests, the whole process takes about 10 minutes. Afterwards, I rinse my face off and complete the rest of my beauty routine (I've written it below). Definitely gets the dead skin off and leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother. I would definitely recommend this little tool to anyone looking to improve the texture of their face in one easy step.PRO TIP: How I use this tool: (25 year old female, sensitive skin, combination oily in T-zone, dry forehead and around mouth)1) Wash my face with a non-irritating cleanser (I'm currently using Biore charcoal face wash)2) Apply toner (I use witch hazel)3) Exfoliate using this product - I use this microdermabrasion system once a week4) Serums (I use vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serums)5) Moisturize! Very important step, don't skip it after using this productHope this review helps you guys both make a good decision and figure out how to use the thing!

Great product works just as well as it's $100 plus counterpart. Love the disposable face pads that make this much more hygienic.

I just love this and use it daily...I wish it came with more pads, but I just ordered additional ones when I purchased the system.

Excellent product! Highly recommended.

I have used these a few times. They work well. They were more affordable here than in stores.

My face is so much smoother and softer after using this. It's a great for exfoliating, I don't use it everyday because it'll dry my skin out. But I user it at least 3 times a week!

This is my 2nd one of these do-dads having gotten one in 2006 when it had the crystal goop you put on and lightly sanded your face. Haha. I don't like all the chemicals but it does a decent at home microdermabrasion.

Love how soft this makes my skin feel. Works better than a mask, but it's also rougher. If i'm not careful it sometimes breaks me out a little

I like the microdermabrasion system but wish they sold the attachment head separate!

I have been using these for a year now and it still works! I use it once a week only along with Olay pro cleanser which I use 3x a week. Although it doesn't completely prevent blackheads, my skin feels so soft and toned.

Definitely gives your skin a nice smooth and clean feeling, but I think it is too abrasive for my skin type. It broke me out a week after using, not sure if it was due to this product or using this with a combination of other products. I stopped using it and my skin returned to normal. Not true microdermabrasion.

I bought this because of all the good reviews. But I did not notice any differences in the way my face looked. I bought this mainly to get rid of the flakes on my face, and it just takes forever to use.

Didn't notice any particular difference in my skin after using it 2-3 X a week for 3 weeks. I'll continue to use it weekly since I have it & won't have to buy any exfoliation scrub.

The surface is very rough, dermabrasion effect, thin skin should be used with caution

I just got this an opened it and used it immediately. This is an awesome my skins feels like a babys butt lol. It does dry out your skin so you will have to use a moisturizer. Your skin feels light and clean and fresh, the little head does come with some form of soap foam when you get it wet. I do hope that it doesn't break me out, if not I will buy atleast a year worth of puffs. BTW it came in great packaging and cute little box. I am never disappointed when Amazon package my items just wished everything came form their warehouse.Update 26/8/2015This thing is making me break out all over my face. Before using it i had no small bumps and after two uses its acne all over. This is still agreat product just not for sensitive skin.

Not bad for 15.00. Why not. I thought the brush part rotated, but it doesn't. It just vibrates on low and high. The pads that contains the crystals last about 2 uses honestly. My skin does feel soft and smooth afterwards. Great for in between visits to your real micro dermabrasion dr.

Product made my skin feel smooth, but unfortunately also made me break out.

not effective. I've been using for 3 months and notice zero difference

Harsh on skin if used in circular motion. Dried my skin out. I just can't recommend this product. Really saw no difference just dry skin for days.

Too abrasive for my skin: didn't do anything good for my face; stopped using it

It made my face feel soft and clean for a day or two but, did anyone else get a bad acne breakout after using this? I used it so I can't return it, I feel bad throwing out, and now my money is wasted.

This package of refills seems old or something. They seem much rougher on my skin than usual and they don't seem to have much cleanser in them. I am not sure what the problem is but I have been using these pads for years and have never had this problem before. I have even wondered it they might be counterfeit because I have never had the quality of a Neutrogena product be bad.

AWFUL PRODUCT. THE EQUIVALENT OF USING SANDPAPER ON YOUR FACE. CALLING THIS MICRODERMABRASION IS A COMPLETE HOAX.

It just vibrates it doesn't feel like it's scrubbing. I wouldn't but again. It doesn't feel very pleasant

led to more breakouts.

do not see any difference. do not know whether it works at all or not.

SO disappointed! Was replacing my old Neutragena Wave, which was originally sold for microdermabrasion and though it looked like a toy, worked for years. This thing is a 3rd more $ and does....what? It vibrates. Very hard. But it doesn't actually move at all, it can't even work up a teensie bit of the loads of lather that come in these pads. I had to add water to lubricate. I'm now going to spend another $14 bucks and get the Wave, it actually worked on my issues, with obvious improvement.

Made me break out terribly. Took weeks for my skin to recover
