I had been using Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion @ $75 a pop when Julie sent me a sample of Micro Resurfacing Cream. I liked Dr. Brandt's version, but I really felt like using Julie's Micro Resurfacing Cream was EXACTLY the same - except one-third the price. Can't argue with that. This is also great to use before using HA and Royal Jelly for breakouts. I always feel like I'm NOURISHING my skin when I use Julie's products. Never quite sure what other skin care products have in them - even the expensive stuff. With Julie's products, I KNOW it's pure.
