Microdermabrasian Alternative

While most of my peers were moving past their acne phase during the college years, I on the other hand was just beginning. I like to blame it on the harsh dorm water and excessive exercising during my first year of college, but I really can’t be sure what brought it on.

Luckily, a few months back it miraculously cleared up. However, I was left with a few unsightly acne scars. My dermatologist suggested microdermabrasian. In an effort to pinch pennies and be creative, I took to the internet to see if there were at-home solutions. I came across Philosophy’s Microdelivery Peel, which received rave reviews online.

The process could not have been simpler. Step 1 consisted of applying vitamin c crystals to my face and massaging them in for 60 seconds. Next, I placed a generous amount of the activator on top of the crystals. The activator instantly warmed up and turned white. After letting the substance sit for 2-3 minutes, I was ready to wash it off. Afterwards, I went to bed and when I woke, I was shocked to notice results. For the next few weeks I had what I called ‘Microderm Mondays’, in which I performed my new ritual prior to bed. Within about 6 weeks my scars were almost completely gone. I now use the product occasionally after a breakout, but for the most part it really did the trick!
