Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant 75g is one of the most-loved daily exfoliating powder cleansers in modern skincare — a cult Dermalogica classic. The rice-based powder activates on contact with water to form a creamy, micro-exfoliating paste, gently smoothing, brightening and refining the skin's surface every day without irritation. Built around papain, salicylic acid, rice enzymes and skin-soothing botanicals.
About Dermalogica
Dermalogica is a globally-respected professional skincare brand founded in 1986 by skin therapist Jane Wurwand. Famous for its skin-therapist-led product development, the brand sits behind the counter in salons and spas around the world. Daily Microfoliant is one of the brand's most celebrated launches — a daily-use exfoliating powder loved for its gentleness, its results and its travel-friendliness.
Key actives
- Papain (Papaya Enzyme): a gentle proteolytic enzyme that dissolves dead skin cells when activated with water.
- Salicylic Acid (BHA): a beta-hydroxy acid that exfoliates inside the pore — particularly effective on congestion and blackheads.
- Rice Bran Extract and Rice Starch: contribute to the powder's gentle physical micro-exfoliation.
- Colloidal Oatmeal: a classic skin-soothing active that calms and softens.
- Liquorice Root, Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis), Ginkgo Biloba and Aspen Bark Extracts: a botanical antioxidant blend that brightens and soothes.
- Allantoin: a gentle skin-conditioning, soothing active.
- Tea Tree Oil: a touch of naturally clarifying essential oil.
Key benefits
- Smooths and brightens the skin's surface with daily use.
- Helps reduce the appearance of blackheads and pore congestion.
- Gentle enough for daily use — far softer than scrub or AHA products.
- Powder format — travel-friendly (no liquid restrictions), hygienic, and long-lasting.
- Suitable for almost all skin types — including sensitive.
- A genuine Dermalogica cult classic with global awards-winning reputation.
Who it's for
Daily Microfoliant is for almost everyone — it's one of the most universally tolerated exfoliating treatments on the market. Particularly well-suited to those concerned about dullness, congestion, blackheads, uneven texture or fine surface lines. The gentle enzyme-and-AHA-and-BHA formula makes it appropriate for daily use on most skin types, including normal, combination, oily, ageing and gently sensitive skin.
How to use
- After cleansing in the morning or evening, wet the face thoroughly with warm water.
- Dispense about half a teaspoon of Daily Microfoliant into very wet palms.
- Rub the palms together to form a smooth, creamy paste.
- Apply to the face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
- Massage gently for around 1 minute to activate the enzymes.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
- Follow with serum and moisturiser. Use daily for normal/combination/oily skin; every other day for sensitive skin.
- Always wear an SPF in the daytime — chemical exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.
