Rock On With Roc
I think what sold me on ROC’s Daily Microdermabrasion Cleaning Disks ($9.99/24 pads @ walgreens.com) is the fact that you have so much control by being able to slip a few fingers inside it. Let’s look at it from all sides, haha.
This is a finger-pocket face cleaner. There’s the Crystal side, which contains their own ingredient Crystalex (micro-crystals that gently provide gentle microdermabrasion action) and the Diamond Side, which contains ridges that exude moisturizers while you cleanse. It claims a lot of anti-aging benefits but like I said above, the engineering of it and choice between sides is what fascinated me with this one. The size of the pad is nice at a little over 3” around but I wish these were reusable. It just seems like a waste to use such a nicely manufactured item one time only to be thrown in the trash. Although these were a treat to use, I don’t think I’ll be buying it again. Just too wasteful.
For some reason these kinda blow my mind. Maybe it was just hearing "pocket" "crystal" and "engineering" so close together that makes me think these are space-age. I'll have to pick them up once I start my job again, and give them a try! (Then never buy them again.)

i think it'd be added waste too (i already feel guilty about cotton ball waste). there are other microdermabrasion products that do not require extra material, like the one made by philosophy. these suckers seem to be too expensive to be used daily as well (one pack wouldn't even last a month if used every day).

Hi - they certainly do the job but yeah, the wasteful part is just a little hard to get past. maybe you can just use them when you travel? I don't know the answer on this one!
