Ive been wanting to try one of these as well so Id be interested in hearing if anyone has any experiences with it. I imagine its kind of like one of those apricot scrubs just with more scrubbies??

Hurri, are you interested in seeing if it helps with acne or just the skin tone? I seem to get a lot of dead skin goin on so it gets flakey, thats what I would be looking to do, a super duper exfoliation. I use the St. Ives Medicated Apricot scrub a few times a week and it seems to do ok, but I still have plenty of room for improvement!

Mary Kay just came out with the Microdermabrasion set. They are only $55 and I love them. They have made a world of difference in my skin.

I haven't heard any about Loreal. But I do know with Mary Kay it make your poors smaller and get rid of fine lines, blemishes, and acne scars.

I have a micro dermabrasion cloth thats a good exfoliator, its good for me because i have sensitive skin and the cloth has no chemicals in. As long as you dont overuse it, you should notice an improvement in acne scars, overuse will trigger more oil production. You can find them on eBay.

Default I use it- love it!

I was at a Beautycontrol spa party, and they had one, so I got it. It is the spinning brush and microdermabrasion cream. I have been using it once a week x8 weeks. My old red acne scars ane not nearly as dark as they used to be! I totally recommend it, plus it makes your skin feel really soft

I love Mary Kay. I use the TimeWise collection and my face is very clear. I also have the microdermabrasion set. But.... I do have to say that I also bought the L'oreal microdermabrasion and I like it so much better and it is WAY cheaper than the Mary Kay. You can get a $3 off coupon here:

I bought the Loreal one and it is really good!
my Mom said after one time of using it she could see and feel a difference in my skin!

It feels like liquid sand paper. if you rub too hard or too long in one spot, you will get red and it will hurt alot!
Nice thing is it costs about $20 compared to $70-$100 to get it done professionally.

I like the Loreal one because it comes with the scrub like the pros use and a post treatment protective moisturizer. The Neutragena one does not have the moistruizer with it.
