What should you know about No7 Microdermabrasion Exfoliator?

The exfoliating particles work at the skin surface through rubbing. This can make rough texture feel smoother temporarily, but it does not reproduce the suction, controlled abrasion, or assessment used with a professional microdermabrasion device. It also cannot remove deeper pigmentation, acne scars, or enlarged pores in the same way a clinical treatment may be planned.

Overuse or vigorous pressure can irritate the skin barrier. Burning, persistent redness, tightness, peeling, or worsening sensitivity are signs to stop. People with active eczema, rosacea flares, open spots, sunburn, or a recently irritated area should avoid scrubbing that skin until it settles.

Follow the product directions, use light pressure on damp skin, and rinse thoroughly. Start infrequently rather than exfoliating every day, then moisturise with a bland, fragrance-free product. Keep the scrub away from eyelids, lips, cuts, and inflamed blemishes. Introduce only one new exfoliating product at a time so a reaction is easier to identify.

If you want a stronger or more predictable result, a clinician can explain whether [Microdermabrasion Device](/technology/microdermabrasion-device/) treatment suits your skin. A [Chemical Peel](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/chemical-peel/) may be another option, but its ingredients and depth differ from a scrub.

Arrange dermatology advice if redness, swelling, pain, crusting, or marked peeling continues after stopping the product, or if repeated use triggers dark or light patches. Seek prompt medical help for facial swelling with breathing difficulty or widespread blistering. A clinician can also assess persistent roughness instead of assuming it is simply a need for more exfoliation.

Ask whether your skin concern is surface dryness, acne, dermatitis, or another condition; how often exfoliation is appropriate; and which ingredients to pause before a planned professional treatment. Show the product label and mention any retinoid, acid, or prescription cream you use.
