Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System

I really really wanted to like this. I just... don't.

The derma-crystals in the jar smell like an extra-orangey creamsicle, which is better than smelling as if the perfume counter at Nordstrom's threw up on you. I applied some of this goop on my face and massaged it for up to a minute. Then I applied the activator serum in the bottle to make the orange goop foam and warm up while I massaged my face some more. I rinsed with warm water and patted my skin dry. My face was super-soft and smooth, and I was giddy with love! So far so good, right?

Not.

Two days later, I broke out. I used it twice a week for a month, and each time, pimples appeared. I should have known... every time I come across a skincare product that says to "rinse thoroughly," it usually means it will give me pimples.

I'm sticking to my good ol' honey and aspirin mask/scrub.
