Skin1 product guide
All three Dermalogica powders are mixed with water, massaged briefly and rinsed away after cleansing. Milkfoliant has a creamy oat-and-coconut blend, Microfoliant combines rice-derived ingredients with papain and salicylic acid, and Superfoliant adds charcoal, niacinamide and fruit acids.
Start with Milkfoliant if the oat-and-coconut, milky-powder format appeals; Microfoliant if you specifically want its rice/papain/salicylic combination; Superfoliant if its charcoal/niacinamide/acid formula is the desired change. All require rinsing, and each should be introduced according to its own directions and your tolerance.

The milky powder choice when oat/coconut conditioning and the creamy lather are more appealing than charcoal or a named salicylic-acid ingredient.
Consider: Contains bergamot, rosewood, clary and eucalyptus oils.
Use: Mix half a teaspoon with water in wet hands to make a creamy lather; massage for one minute, avoiding eyes, then rinse.
The original rice-and-papain powder, with salicylic acid, colloidal oatmeal and allantoin.
Consider: The panel includes grapefruit peel oil and limonene. Its instructions have specific cautions for irritated skin and prescribed acne or vitamin-A-derived exfoliants.
Use: Mix half a teaspoon with water into a paste, massage gently for one minute and rinse after cleansing. Start every other day if new to exfoliation or sensitive.
The charcoal-and-acid formula for someone choosing that ingredient direction and a rinse-off powder format.
Consider: Contains citrus and lavender oils, which matter if you avoid fragrant plant ingredients.
Use: After cleansing, mix half a teaspoon with water into a paste, massage gently for one minute and rinse; Dermalogica says alternate days at first for more sensitive skin.

Decide which ingredient direction you actually want before comparing names. Milkfoliant's oat and coconut ingredients make it the distinct milky option; Microfoliant is the only one of these current US panels that explicitly lists salicylic acid; Superfoliant is the only one with listed charcoal powder and niacinamide. All three also include papain, so that alone will not settle the choice.
No. The manufacturer permits regular use, but both its Microfoliant and Superfoliant directions advise alternate days for more sensitive skin or while acclimating. Follow the exact chosen product's instructions; reduce frequency or stop if your skin becomes uncomfortable. Apply daytime sun protection as Dermalogica instructs for Microfoliant.
Use the pair selector to compare your two likely choices, with all three full ingredient lists on this page. The Microfoliant product guide explains its routine in more detail, and the powder-alternatives guide compares options from other brands.
