How is Physical Chemistry different from other microdermabrasion scrubs?
Physical Chemistry uses both physical and chemical exfoliation for optimal benefit. Multiacid Resurfacing Complex including Glycolic, Lactic, Azelaic and Beta Hydroxy Acids dissolve the glue that cements epidermal cells together. Synthetic Polymer Microdermabrading Beads are smooth surfaced, non-abrasive, synthetic beads that break down when applied to the skin allowing them to remove debris without irritation. This allows dermatologist-recommended skin therapies, like Acne or Skin Rejuvenating products, to provide deeper, more thorough results.
