The back of the head on the PMD clean has wavy ridges to pair with two sonic vibrations for facial massage. This is the cleansing side and has large bristles at the tip of the brush head to get in areas like the sides of your nose, and then small silicone bristles to deep cleanse your entire face. There are two cleansing modes to use with the bristled side. This hygienic silicone cleanser also has four customizable modes, depending on what you are using it for.

The different modes make it great for daily use even on sensitive skin types and is a dream if you have large pores. It has different vibration modes so you can find the perfect frequency for you – from a gentle vibration to a stronger one. This is what they call SonicGlow Technology. It’s made of antibacterial silicone and uses 7000 sonic vibrations per minute to tone skin and deep cleanse your face by breaking down dirt and oil trapped in your pores. This way you’ll get a (literal) feel for the suction and grainy nature of each disc, even the white practice one.As far as facial cleansing devices go, this one is pretty unique. To start, PMD recommends plugging in the white training disc and practicing the upward swaying motions along your arm or leg.

Admittedly, I didn’t do either my first go-around (call it cockiness), resulting in mediocre results and an irritated skin barrier.

How do you use the PMD Microderm Device?īefore I get into the good stuff (i.e., the surprisingly smooth and instantaneous results I got after a few trial runs), I urge you to read the directions for this device-carefully-and follow that up by watching the how-to video from the brand, below. I say bathroom because over the sink is an ideal location for using this thing, since dead skin is being shed, sucked, and, sometimes, dropped-it’s a tip you’ll thank me for later. The Microderm is surprisingly lightweight, and its plug-in power cord is longer than my straightener’s, which makes it an easy reach for that inconveniently placed bottom corner outlet in your bathroom (we all have it). For a microdermabrasion device comparable to in-office results, I was expecting something much, much bigger (and heavier). So what better time than quarantine to address the tiny sebum-filled bumps populating my cheeks and the keratosis pilaris along my arms? When I opened the device’s packaging, its size initially struck me. I’ll be the first to say that acne, in its most literal sense, is not my biggest skin concern, yet texture is. The Microderm in particular uses spinning-disc technology and vacuum suction to tackle a variety of skin concerns like texture, fine lines, and blemishes-scars included. Customarily it’s done by an esthetician or dermatologist, but at-home tools like the PMD Personal Microderm Device are able to mimic the results of pro treatments with extended use. How does the PMD Microderm Device work?įor those unfamiliar with microdermabrasion, here’s the gist: It’s a treatment that buffs out dead cells and product build-up from the outermost layer of your skin with the use of aluminum oxide crystals. But a tool that basically vacuums your skin to suck away clogged pores and dead cells? It brings the joy of exfoliating to an entirely new and incredibly satisfying level. Dennis Gross’s Peel Pads and Naturopathica’s Cherry Enzyme Peel to alleviate breakouts and textured skin. I’ve had my fun with exfoliating superstars like Dr.

Since the at-home tool came out nearly 20 years ago, it’s earned its spot among the skin-care hall of fame for its ability to deliver a healthier, dewier, and softer complexion.

For me it’s all about exfoliation, which recently led me down a rabbit hole of reviews for the PMD Microderm Device.

Everyone has their favorite skin-care step.
