"Unlike harsh, irregular particles in facial scrubs or aluminum oxide
used in other exfoliates, Dual-Action MicroDermAbrasion Advanced
Exfoliate contains advanced spherical-shaped silica particles
(aluminum-free), providing uniform exfoliation that is highly effective
at removing dead, dull skin cells to reveal the younger-looking new
skin below. Restorative antioxidants in Dual-Action MicroDermAbrasion
Advanced Exfoliate then quickly penetrate the upper levels of the
epidermal layer of the skin, accelerating the skin's natural renewal
process.
Rather than just relying on mechanical abrasion, Dual-Action
MicroDermAbrasion Advanced Exfoliate contains the Linked-Papain™ C-MPB
antiaging enzyme to provide dual-action exfoliation. Unlike the
irritation that often occurs with other chemical peels like
alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA), the Linked-Papain™ C-MPB softens and
digests proteins only in the stratum corneum layer of the skin,
stimulating protein synthesis. Even though the Linked-Papain™ C-MPB is a
highly effective enzymatic peel, it is no more irritating than pure
water!
This product is unique in that it provides advanced avenanthramides
(compounds found in oats known for their anti-inflammatory action) that
soothe and protect new skin that can become naturally irritated by
abrasion or being exposed to the environment."
