The world's most iconic exfoliator — and for good reason. This legendary rice-based powder exfoliant has earned its cult status for one simple reason — it works, every single day, for every skin type, without ever causing irritation. Activated by water into a gentle, skin-polishing micro-paste, it releases a powerful blend of enzymes, acids, and brightening actives that buff, smooth, and illuminate the skin to perfection — revealing visibly brighter, smoother, more even skin after just one use.
Gentle enough for daily use. Powerful enough to deliver clinical results.
Key Actives & What They Do:
-
Papain (Papaya Enzyme) — a natural enzymatic exfoliant that gently dissolves dead skin cells and surface buildup with precision, revealing fresher, more luminous skin without any physical irritation or abrasion
-
Salicylic Acid (BHA) — penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, clear congestion, and prevent breakouts while smoothing overall skin texture
-
Rice Bran — rich in antioxidants and naturally exfoliating AHAs that polish the skin to a smooth, refined finish while delivering essential nourishment
-
Phytic Acid (from Rice Bran) — a gentle brightening acid that helps balance and even out uneven skin tone for a more uniform, luminous complexion
-
White Tea Extract — a powerful antioxidant that protects against environmental damage and supports overall skin health and vitality
-
Licorice Extract — a celebrated skin brightener that helps fade dark spots, even discoloration, and deliver a more balanced, radiant complexion
-
Colloidal Oatmeal & Allantoin — a super-soothing duo that calms irritation, promotes cell renewal, and ensures the exfoliation experience remains comfortable and gentle even with daily use

When to Apply
Use Daily Microfoliant® after cleansing, once daily morning or night. If you're new to exfoliation or have sensitive skin, start every other day and build to daily use as tolerated. For daytime, always follow with SPF; at night, follow with your toner and moisturizer.
Do not use on sunburned, irritated, or recently waxed/resurfaced skin, or while using prescribed acne or Vitamin A–derived exfoliants.
How to Use
Dispense about a half-teaspoon of Daily Microfoliant® into very wet hands and rub together to create a creamy paste. Apply to face and neck in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Massage gently for 1 minute, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with your Dermalogica toner and moisturizer.
