I Skipped a $200 Facial After Using This On-Sale Exfoliator That Made My Skin Glow

I’m on a mission to achieve and maintain a glowy complexion, but my dry skin keeps getting in the way. Winter in NYC is also making it worse (when does spring start again?) by causing chapped lips and my sensitive skin to turn red no matter how much lotion I apply. Determined not to give up, I recently started using a product that’s been giving me hope: Dr. Brandt’s microdermabrasion face exfoliator, which is on rare sale RN.

Instead of booking my usual pricey $200 facial, I decided to try out this at-home exfoliator inspired by in-office microdermabrasion procedures. And it’s truly been a dry skin savior that immediately gives me a baby soft feel and glowy appearance, and it creates the perfect base layer for other hydrating products.

Now that I’ve put this award-winning product to the test, I’m eyeing other products to build a more rejuvenating skin care routine from the brand during its massive Valentine’s Day sale. These include creams, serums, under-eye brightening kits, and more up to 71 percent off. Plus, you can save 25 percent sitewide on select products with the code WITHLOVE through Wednesday, February 19.

Editor Picks from Dr. Brandt’s Sale

Microdermabrasion Face Exfoliator

Dr. Brandt’s microdermabrasion face exfoliator is formulated with biodegradable ingredients, and exfoliants like glycolic and lactic acids to refine texture and resurface skin. It’s meant to activate the natural renewal process for smooth and clear skin, and it’s become a new go-to in my routine. I use it twice a week and have noticed a more luminous, balanced complexion.

And I’m not the only one who loves this product—one shopper said it’s the “best exfoliator [they’ve] used,” noting that their skin became “smooth and hydrated.”. Another shopper said that it “deep cleans” their skin and leaves it feeling “silky and younger looking.”

The Ultimate Glow Kit

This kit is on massive sale. It’s packed with 10 products chosen by experts to help hydrate, protect, and nourish skin, especially during cooler months. I’m eyeing this kit as a way to try out multiple high-quality products at once for just $20 apiece. Dr. Brandt includes several shopper-favorites in this kit, like eye creams, serums, and my new favorite exfoliator. It’s essentially a full skin care routine in one kit.

Take the Doctor Home Duo

This duo combines Dr. Brandt’s top seller, the No More Baggage eye de-puffing gel used by Gabrielle Union, and its highly rated wrinkle smoothing cream. It’s formulated to give your skin a professional-grade treatment at home, so I’m buying this kit for my under-eye circles and fine lines while it’s marked down. One shopper said the eye gel delivered luxe results in just five minutes, while another person shared that the cream reduced the appearance of their wrinkles in just one and a half weeks.

Liquid Sun Shield

While sunscreen is a must year-round, I need to restock before sunnier weather gets here. I’m eyeing this new SPF 50 sunscreen from Dr. Brandt, which is lightweight and formulated to protect against harmful rays, infrared radiation, and pollution. It’s also paraben-, sulfate-, and fragrance-free and made with a recyclable bottle. One shopper called the sunscreen “liquid gold,” noting that it eliminated their hyperpigmentation and is moisturizing and invisible when applied. They said they are “ordering a second bottle immediately.”
