I received a free sample of Philosophy’s:
Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash
and was excited to try it since I really like some of Philosophy’s products.

Daily I use Philosophy’s:
Purity Made Simple
which is a gentle cleanser for normal to dry skin.

And I love their:
The Microdelivery Peel
which I use once a week, and it’s a great exfoliating treatment for all skin types.

The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash is sort of a combination of the Purity Made Simple cleanser, and The Microdelivery Peel. It has really fine “crystals” - actually they feel like tiny pieces of sand - that work to physically exfoliate your skin while you wash it. The crystals felt good on my skin, but I would definitely stay away from this product if you have sensitive skin, because it would be too harsh in that case.

After using this face wash, my face felt super smooth and soft. However, my face also felt dry and tight, so this is unfortunately not a product to use if you have dry skin. The cleanser contains clay, which is what dries out your skin, so it’s probably not a good choice even for normal skin. However, if you have oily skin (that is not sensitive) then this would be a great cleanser to use a few times a week. It doesn’t contain any pore-clogging ingredients. If you have cystic acne, or red, inflamed pimples, then this cleanser might not be good either, since it could aggravate your pimples.

If you happen to fit the narrow criteria to benefit from this face wash (oily, non-sensitive skin, without cystic/inflammatory acne) then definitely check out this cleanser!
