What are the benefits of our
Micro-Buff Creme?
• Gentle at-home treatment or between in-office microdermabrasion treatments
• Enhances the absorption of skin lightening and acne treatment products
• Exfoliates the pigmented cells found in the outer layer of skin
• Ideal for hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and diminishing the appearance of fine lines, lip lines & acne scars
• Helps clear acne breakouts
This gentle blend of soothing botanicals and skin-brightening crystals refines and resurfaces skin without irritating or scratching the skin surface. This at-home, or in-office microdermabrasion treatment utilizes the same exfoliating crystals found in microdermabrasion machines and can be used daily to buff skin to reveal a glowing smooth surface. We recommend that you begin with three times a week and build up to five times a week only if well tolerated.

Skin Brightening Crystals
These are the same crystals found in micro-dermabrasion machines used for in-office treatments.
Grapefruit Extract
This botanical has a purifying and energizing effect with a moisturizing and cleansing action on the skin.
Algae Peptides
Peptides are small molecules that can penetrate the barrier of the epidermis and have an impact on the dermis, or deeper layer of skin. These have the advantage of producing rapid, visible changes in the appearance of the skin. Specifically, they can cause tightening and the appearance of firming in the skin. Algae peptides are a unique extract from the Hawaiian Sea that have a component called hydroxyproline, an unusual amino acid that is rarely found in the skin except within its own collagen. Algae peptides are particularly impressive in their moisturizing and firming properties when applied to the skin.
Peptides are the chemical name for a chain of amino acids – and cosmetic chemists differentiate between the peptides that are not proven beneficial to the skin and peptides that are. When a peptide has proven in laboratory testing to have beneficial effects on the skin, it is classified as an active peptide. The family of active peptides is wide ranging – and when applied topically to the skin they can produce dramatic results. In one study of peptides, more than 30% of the people who used them saw an immediate improvement in their skin, while an additional 5% saw improvement after several hours. Almost 70% of users reported tightening and firming within two weeks.
Antioxidants
(Alpha Lipoic Acid, Beta Carotene, Green tea, Panthenol, Topical Vitamins A, C and E.)
These ingredients protect against signs of skin "oxidation" (the term used for breakdown that occurs when ”free radicals” are formed in the skin as a result of a variety of environmental insults, including sunlight, pollution, smoking and alcohol use. When free radicals form in the skin, there is accelerated aging and an increased risk of cancer due to these oxidative changes that occur in the skin.
When an ingredient is referred to as having “antioxidant activity,” it prevents the signs of skin aging. Popular antioxidants include alpha lipoic acid, beta carotene, CoQ10, green tea, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E (tocopherol), and retinoids. See Our Innovative Ingredients for more information.
