Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant 74g Refill is the bulk-format refill for one of dermatologist-favourite skincare's most enduring cult products — a rice-based powder exfoliator that activates with water to micro-polish, brighten and decongest the skin without disturbing its barrier. Gentle enough for daily use, the formula combines papain enzymes, salicylic acid and rice bran with a skin-brightening complex of phytic acid, white tea and liquorice, and soothing colloidal oatmeal and allantoin.
About Dermalogica
Dermalogica was founded in 1986 in Los Angeles by skin therapist Jane Wurwand and her husband Raymond, originally as the educational arm of the International Dermal Institute. The brand is now one of the world's most-stocked professional skincare lines, with formulations developed for both daily home use and salon treatment use. Daily Microfoliant has been the brand's bestselling exfoliator for more than two decades.
Key ingredients
- Papain (Papaya Enzyme) — natural protein-dissolving enzyme that gently lifts dead skin cells.
- Salicylic Acid — beta-hydroxy acid that helps unclog pores and reduce blackheads.
- Rice Bran and Rice Enzymes — fine micro-particles that polish the skin's surface; rice extracts also support a brighter complexion.
- Skin Brightening Complex — phytic acid from rice bran, white tea and liquorice, working together to even out skin tone.
- Colloidal Oatmeal and Allantoin — soothe, calm and protect the skin during exfoliation.
Key benefits
- Polishes, brightens and smooths the skin with every use
- Helps unclog pores and reduce blackheads over time

Refill format
The 74g refill is designed for those who already own the original Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant flip-top bottle and want to reduce packaging waste with each top-up. The refill pouch is decanted into the original bottle when empty — a small, practical step toward more sustainable skincare consumption.
Who it's for
Best suited to anyone wanting daily, gentle exfoliation — particularly those dealing with dullness, congestion, uneven skin tone or early signs of ageing. The non-abrasive powder format makes it well-tolerated across most skin types, including sensitive skin (introduce gradually). A long-standing favourite for skincare enthusiasts, beauty editors and facialists.
How to use
- After cleansing, dispense about half a teaspoon of powder into very wet hands.
- Rub the hands together to create a creamy paste.
- Apply to the face and neck in gentle circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
- Massage for around 1 minute.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
- Continue with serum, moisturiser and SPF during the day.
- Use daily; reduce frequency to every other day if you have sensitive skin or new to exfoliation.
