Unlike the first reviewers comments, I own this and like it. After 2 days of usage, I noticed the difference in my skin. The box says you should notice a difference in your appearance within 2 weeks. It is addicting to use because it feels so nice on the face, like a message melting away the stress from your day. Ahhh!
I do have oily skin and had a few deep zits that would take days to come out. With the use of this they came to the surface in 1 night and dried up and flaked off by the next morning. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is curious. I wouldn’t say I had “acne”, but I do have a continual eruption of zits on my face and back, and this seemed to cure it. The salicylic acid goes below the surface of the skin, killing the bacteria and drying up the oils.
I also have some large pores and discolorations on my face. Only time will tell if this gets rid of them. The box does claim that using this kit will diminish blemishes by resurfacing new skin. I’ve had this for 4 days now. I will post another comment/review once I’ve had it for a few months.
You do have to clean the application sponge right after usage, but that’s no problem if your sanitary. I am a clean freak so I enjoy using and cleaning this. It’s well worth the time and money.

When describing this product, the term “microdermabrasion” is a definite overstatement. I was extremely unsatisfied with this product. The only thing this machine does is massage your face with its vibrating motion. I’m sure it removes a lot of dead surface skin cells using friction, but it doesn’t do anything else. Not only that, but the crème they provide you is ineffective and has an unpleasant, manufactured smell.
I did not notice any positive changes in my face at all. There are two different “applicators” you can use. A teardrop foam one, or one with bristles. Both of these did not improve my skin. These are not professional tools, but clunky exfoliators, and a far cry from the kind of microdermabrasion treatment a dermatologist would provide.
The worst part is, if you want to be able to use the foam applicators more than once, without having them constantly loaded with bacteria, you need to buy a special foam cleaner liquid, which is just more money spent on a useless product.
This system is, sadly, a waste of money. It failed to diminish “post-breakout discoloration” and prevent “future breakouts.” You would be better off saving your money for an effective, less expensive cleanser.
