Exuviance® Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish
Microdermabrasion produces some of the most immediately visible results of any skin treatment. The problem has always been access: effective microdermabrasion requires professional-grade equipment and a clinic appointment. The Exuviance Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish recreates this outcome at home through a combination of three distinct exfoliation mechanisms in a single step.
Professional-grade crystals that physically buff the skin surface. 10% Glycolic Acid that chemically dissolves dead skin cell bonds. Papaya Enzyme (Papain) that works enzymatically to digest surface proteins and brighten. Three simultaneous exfoliation mechanisms in a single treatment: physical, chemical and enzymatic. The result is instant visible resurfacing after a single use and progressive significant improvement with regular twice-weekly application.
Who Is It For?
- Dull, rough or uneven skin texture needing immediate visible improvement
- Those wanting professional-level resurfacing results between clinic visits or at home
- Skin prone to congestion, enlarged pores or uneven tone
- Those wanting to boost the absorption and effectiveness of serums and moisturisers applied after treatment
- Anyone preparing the skin before a special event for maximum radiance and smoothness
- Those combining with the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 for a comprehensive at-home resurfacing programme
How Does It Work?
The three simultaneous exfoliation mechanisms address different depths and components of the skin's dead cell layer simultaneously. Professional-grade crystals physically remove the loose, surface dead cells and buff the skin surface for immediate tactile smoothness. Glycolic Acid 10% penetrates beneath the physical exfoliation to chemically dissolve the bonds holding deeper dead cells to the surface, driving more significant cellular turnover and collagen stimulation. Papain enzyme from Papaya digests the dead skin cell proteins with specificity for keratinised tissue, adding a brightening and smoothing dimension that neither physical nor chemical exfoliation alone can achieve. Lactobionic Acid PHA provides additional gentle exfoliation and barrier hydration, supporting the skin through the triple mechanism treatment.
Key Ingredients
- Professional-grade crystals: The same physical exfoliants used in clinical microdermabrasion treatments, providing immediate tactile buffing and surface dead cell removal.
- Glycolic Acid 10% (AHA): Penetrates the skin surface to chemically dissolve dead skin cell bonds, improving texture, tone and clarity and stimulating collagen production beneath the physical exfoliation layer.
- Papaya Enzyme (Papain): A proteolytic enzyme that digests dead skin cell proteins at the surface with specificity for keratinised tissue, producing brightening and smoothing that complements the physical and chemical mechanisms.
- Lactobionic Acid (PHA): Provides additional gentle exfoliation and hydration, supporting the skin's moisture barrier throughout the triple resurfacing process.
Benefits
- Immediate visible resurfacing after a single use
- Three simultaneous exfoliation mechanisms: physical, chemical and enzymatic
- Visibly smoother, brighter and more radiant skin immediately after treatment
- Progressive improvement in pore appearance, skin texture and radiance with regular twice-weekly use
- Significantly improves serum and moisturiser absorption when applied to freshly treated skin
- Can be applied to face, neck, chest and backs of hands
What Results Can You Expect?
Immediately after a single use: visibly smoother, brighter and more refined skin. At 4 weeks of twice-weekly use: significant improvement in skin texture, tone, pore appearance and overall radiance. At 8 weeks: progressive improvement that approaches the cumulative results of a professional microdermabrasion course.
How We Use It at Face for Soul
As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish is my recommended at-home resurfacing treatment for patients wanting professional-grade visible improvement between clinic visits. It works particularly well applied before treatment serums, as freshly triple-exfoliated skin absorbs actives significantly more effectively than untreated skin. Combined with the Performance Peel AP25, it creates the most comprehensive at-home resurfacing programme available within the Exuviance range.
How to Use
Apply a thin even layer to clean damp skin. Gently massage in small circular motions for 30 seconds then leave on for up to 2 minutes for deeper exfoliation. Rinse thoroughly. Use 2 to 3 times per week maximum. Do not use on the same day as other strong exfoliants or immediately before or after in-clinic treatments. Always apply SPF 30 or higher the following morning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth the money?
Triple Microdermabrasion combines physical, chemical and enzymatic exfoliation in a single step, delivering microdermabrasion-quality visible results at home. Compared to the cost of professional microdermabrasion appointments, the value for regular at-home resurfacing is exceptional.
How often should I use it?
2 to 3 times per week. Do not use on the same day as other strong exfoliants or peel treatments.
Can I use it before the Performance Peel AP25?
Yes. Applying Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish before the Performance Peel AP25 on peel evenings enhances the peel's penetration and results. Use the Polish first, rinse, then proceed with Step 1 of the Performance Peel.
Do I need to use SPF after using it?
Yes. This product contains Glycolic Acid which increases sun sensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and for one week after use.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The Glycolic Acid and physical exfoliants make this unsuitable for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. For sensitive skin, we recommend the Exuviance Gentle Daily Exfoliating Pads.
Is it pregnancy safe?
We do not recommend use during pregnancy. Please consult your midwife or obstetrician.
Can I use it on my chest and hands?
Yes. It can be applied to the face, neck, chest and backs of hands.
Does it clog pores?
No. The formula actively refines and clears pores with regular use.
Is it vegan?
Please contact us to confirm vegan status for this specific product as Exuviance formulations can vary.
Is it cruelty-free?
Yes. Exuviance does not test on animals.
Clinical Insight
As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish is the at-home resurfacing treatment I recommend for patients who want visible improvement that they can see and feel after a single use. The triple mechanism approach produces a qualitatively different outcome from single-mechanism exfoliants, and applying it before treatment serums consistently results in noticeably better product absorption and faster visible improvement from those products.
Research and Evidence
Physical microdermabrasion's efficacy for skin resurfacing is documented in extensive published dermatological research. Glycolic Acid 10%'s chemical exfoliation and collagen stimulation mechanism is established in over 30 years of published literature. Papain enzyme's keratolytic specificity and brightening mechanism is documented in published biochemistry and cosmetic science research.
How Does It Compare?
Triple Microdermabrasion vs Exuviance Performance Peel AP25: Performance Peel delivers deeper chemical resurfacing through a timed two-step acid treatment for more significant skin renewal. Triple Microdermabrasion provides immediately visible surface improvement through three simultaneous mechanisms. Use Triple Microdermabrasion on non-peel days and Performance Peel on peel days for the most comprehensive at-home resurfacing programme.
Triple Microdermabrasion vs Exuviance Gentle Daily Exfoliating Pads: Gentle Daily Pads use PHA and Bionic Acid for gentle daily exfoliation appropriate for sensitive skin. Triple Microdermabrasion is a stronger 3-mechanism treatment for normal to oily skin used 2 to 3 times weekly. Different strength levels, different target skin types.

Treatment evenings: Exuviance cleanser, Exuviance Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish (leave on 2 minutes, rinse), Exuviance HydraPrep Toner, Exuviance Radiance Serum, chosen Exuviance moisturiser. Morning after: always SPF 30 or higher.
