Oprah and Courteney Cox Use the Exfoliant Shoppers Call Their “Holy Grail”

If you’ve ever looked at a photo of Oprah Winfrey and wondered how her skin looks so good (or is that just me?), we have at least part of the answer. The media mogul once called the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant a “superstar” for achieving a brighter and smoother complexion, and that praise is more than enough for us to give the exfoliant a try. 

Available both at Amazon and directly from the brand, the formula starts as a powder and turns into a creamy paste when mixed with water. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients including rice to smooth out uneven texture, salicylic acid to cleanse your pores and prevent acne, and colloidal oatmeal to calm inflammation and lock in moisture. 

The exfoliant is gentle enough to use every day, per the brand, and meant to leave you with a softer, brighter, and smoother complexion. All you have to do is shake the powder into wet hands, mix it together to create a paste, and massage it into your skin before rinsing and continuing with your skincare routine. The product comes in two sizes — 0.45 ounces and 2.6 ounces — so you can try the smaller version before committing to a big bottle. 

Oprah isn’t the only fan of the exfoliant; Courteney Cox swears by the product, too; a Dermalogica ambassador, she even said the “way it exfoliates and brightens [her] skin makes [her] look like [she] just got a professional skin treatment,” in a quote featured on the brand’s site. Plus, more than 4,000 Amazon shoppers have bought the product in the past month alone, and nearly 7,000 people have given it a five-star rating. 

One reviewer with “extremely sensitive skin” said the exfoliant “doesn’t dry [them] out and gives [their] face the best glow,” adding that it’s “gentle enough” to use every day. Plus, another shopper deemed it their “holy grail face scrub,” going on to say that their “pores look amazing now, and this helps to remove all the dead skin cells in a gentle yet effective manner.” 

Between its celebrity stamp of approval and glowing Amazon reviews, the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is clearly doing something right. And if you end up falling in love with the exfoliant, check out more products from the brand, below.
