At one of my many trips to Sephora, I asked for a recommendation for a mask or exfoliant to help my tired skin. I was given a sample of Cosmedicine Medi-morphosis Self Adjusting Exfoliator.
The cool thing about this product is, there is evidently some fancy-schmancy automatic shut-off feature (thus the “self adjusting” part of the title) so that you don’t over-exfoliate and harm your delicate skin tissue. The way it works is, you massage the Medi-Morphosis until the crystals dissolve and you no longer feel the exfoliants. When they’re gone, they’ve done their job! How cool is THAT!?
I hurried home and applied it right away. I immediately noticed that my skin’s texture was soft and smooth, and my pores seemed to be a fraction of their normal size. No lie, this is great stuff. I’ve been using it twice a week, and it seems to be making a difference in the texture of my skin and the size of my pores.
Unfortunately, NOTHING I’ve tried yet seems to be helping the wrinkles that have taken up residence around my mouth and my eyes. Perhaps I expect too much from a non-surgical treatment.
The Medi-Morphosis is gentle enough to use twice a week, and supposedly it’s great for
sensitive skin. I have read only positive reviews on Amazon and other beauty product review sites. I love, love, LOVE this stuff.
Here are the details from the website:

– Helps erase the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
– Helps fade pigmentation and age spots

What else you need to know:
Delivers personalized, professional results usually found in a doctor’s office. It’s great for even the most sensitive skin.

If you’re in the market for a new exfoliator, and the price tag doesn’t scare you off, I highly recommend this one.
About Jo-Lynne
Sounds like a great new product, but I’m so glad I don’t have sensitive skin. I have used St. Ives Apricot Scrub for about 15 years – they even have it in blemish control, sensitive skin, and others. It’s less than $5 and I use it everyday in the shower to keep my skin soft and bright. I know it’s too rough for a lot of people, but it works great for me.
GOOD – now gimme back my Shiseido!!

JoLynne,
Do you like the Cosmedicine or the Shiseido better? I have very sensitive skin and was thinking of ordering one of them…which do you recommend?

Dena – I think the Cosmedicine. Because peeling off that Shiseido mask kind of hurts. I can guarantee the Cosmedicine is good for sensitive skin. I read lots of other reviews on it, and everyone loved it. I don’t know as much about the Shiseido.
Let me know how you like it!!!
