Review : Philosophy The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash


Product Description
Gentle enough to use daily, our mild exfoliating facial skin cleanser is designed to effectively cleanse and replenish skin, while providing resurfacing benefits.

Philosophy products seemed to be more of a miss than a hit on my skin. I received a 30ml sample while shopping in Sephora. A friend raved about their products so I thought I will give it a try.

I never really buy into the theory of using an exfoliating cleanser. Its either a cleanser or a scrub but nothing inbetween for me. Why would I want to use an exfoliating cleanser everyday on my delicate skin?

This product claimed to be gentle for everyday use but it wasn't. It made my skin feel taut immediately after cleansing. And then my cheeks turned red and warm for a couple of hours.
That said, I have to say that the exfoliating beads contained within a gel texture are really fine like sand but the after effects are still harsh on my skin though it did make it smoother.

It scored 4.1 from 316 users on Makeupalley.
