Aluminum Oxide Crystals are the perfect abrasive medium for microdermabrasion. Because it is inert, it does not cause any skin reaction. It is a hard, stable, crystalline sand-like material, making it the perfect exfoliant. And it has the added benefit of being absorbent.
Each particle strikes the skin, performing a gentle, precise exfoliating action, absorbs surface oil, and is gently washed away.
