Yes it is!! One of my daughters was a professional model in NYC, she is now a Meteorologist with NBC. 7 years ago, her agents fell in love with the product. They passed it onto their friends, and other models, and actors, before we knew it, we had a company! That's kind of our story! When my daughter was 16 and first going to NY - her agency told ust she had to microdermabrasion treatments! This girl with flawless skin. I didn't get it! I was a single mom with 3 kids. I thought - heck if anyone is going to get microdermabrasion treatments - I will! Anyway - they quickly informed me that she couldn't compete in the top modeling city in the world without it - because of the translucence and clarity that microdermabrasion gives to the skin. So I went to work! I am a RN and have been in alternative health, beauty and nutrition for two decades. I have formulated before. I just got busy and Epidermx™ was the result! We are a medical family; I am a RN, Dad is a MD, and grandpa is a Dermatologist; just like everyone else, the doctors passed it around too! The Plastic Surgeons use our products as an addition to their treatments; they also find silicone-free products are helping their patients post treatment.

You may read about the difference in detail on the microdermabrasion page. Over the last 6 years, there have been many scientific advances; it was time to incorporate those advances into Epidermx•. Even Epidermx• deserves a face lift! My family, and I depend upon this product. We spent 6 months in development. A group of die hard Epidermx• fans (including those with acne, rosacea, scars and psoriasis), physicians, and family put the new formulation thru rigorous critiques. 100% of our testers agree that EpidermxII• is far superior in performance. Most of them were able to get the same amount of usage from the new 1oz (30ml) jar; it is concentrated and a little goes a long way. EpidermxII• is the first hydrophilic balanced manual microdermabrasion cream! Along with beautiful new packaging in a tempered glass container to prevent contamination from plastic residues, you will notice that it feels grittier, has a silky glide and a soft tropical scent. The new formulation is basically the same; we added organic ingredients, removed excess preservatives to only what is required as the minimum global standard, and made some scientific upgrades. NaturDerm• is the first company in the world to use mini-microdermabrasion™ as a tool for skin health. Old manual microdermabrasion creams now pale in comparison and feel, thick and pasty. No more lengthy manual treatments and hand held tools, just a little quick massage every night for 10-30 seconds, one bead of Chrysalyx•, and for those who want to effect repetitive facial contractions, one bead of Naturdermx™ and you are done! No messy, tired fingers, no contraptions or machines, no toners - less than 2 minutes twice a day - You have the most sophisticated anti-aging skin care regimen in the world! The best part of it all is you'll save money! Using our system replaces 12 products! The best yet - they are all silicone-free, your skin will be able to brethe for maybe the first time in years! We have a group of Plastic Surgeons who use EpidermxII• to prep the skin before doing chemical peels and other treatments, as well as post treatment for skin health!

There is a cumulative effect that occurs with regular usage. We cannot emphasize enough that the magic of this product is seen with daily use! EpidermxII™ is most effective if used nightly as a mini-massage for 10-30 seconds.

Wash your face and rinse. While skin is still moist , take a small amount of EpidermxII™ and gently massage the face in a circular motion - as if you were re-washing your face, rinse, pat dry. Do this as part of your nightly routine, perhaps one night 10 seconds, the next 15 seconds. Keep it simple. If you have areas where you tend to break out, or have fine lines or pigment changes, you may want to work those areas longer. People with severe scarring and stretch marks do this for 40-90 seconds once a day - some work up to twice a day over time.

It is no longer necessary to do a lengthy microdermabrasion treatment. Microdermabrasion occurs when the crystals scrape off dead skin cells; you no longer need to do a "treatment", or lengthy massage for this to occur. Infact, there is concern within the skin care industry of methods such as the old "treatment" where you massage until debris is produced (the old debris was mainly from waxes in the preservatives), and hand held tools, causing trauma to the skin that results in "thinning" of the skin.

First of all, realize that you know your skin. Secondly, EpidermxII™ has a natural drying effect on its own due to the astringest properties of the crystals. If you notice your skin becoming too dry - you are over-doing it! Cut back on your usage. Some people with heavy scarring find they do best using the product as a scrub in the morning and evening. This is not an overnight fix. Be patient. If you are consistent in your routine, you will see results! We receive hundreds of testimonials from people with scarring so severe they were embarrassed to go outside,people with scars from cancer treatments, people with scars from acne, stretch marks - just about everything. Realize that not every product works for everyone. This product has helped thousands of people; we believe you will see results as well.

Recognize that most hyper-pigmentation problems contain an element of hormonal issues - for men as well. EpidermxII™ removes the surface layers of skin. This is why there is an improvement with hyperpigmentation and microdermabrasion. The hormonal element is increased with sun exposure. You may see results, go out in the sun and see an increase in the pigment and think the product isn't working. The real issue is the product is working - you are just creating more pigment changes by the sun exposure. Scarring of the deeper dermal layers cannot be removed from microdermabrasion.

EpidermxII™ was developed for my family! I was having hormonal acne issues and two of my children who were having acne issues. Their father is an MD, grandfather is a Dermatologist, and I am a RN. Nothing Dad or Grandpa prescribed for their acne worked as well as EpidermxII™. 7 years later, they still use it daily - even my son. Excluding the occasional breakout, they have pretty much been acne free. One of my daughters uses it alone to wash her face with twice a day; although I must add, she is becoming addicted to the Triple Lavender Face Foam™! Even my son still uses EpidermxII™ every day, both of them get far superior results, and acne control from EpidermxII™.

EpidermxII™ contains ingredients that have a sanitizing effect on the skin. We want the ingredients in the product to remain on the skin. It also removes dead skin cells and debris that clogs pores. You will find the best results when you use it atleast once a day. Remember that acne has many facets to it. One of which is hormonal. Don't be discouraged if you get great results and then all of a sudden you are breaking out, it may be completely unrelated to the EpidermxII™.

EpidermxII™removes the surface layers of skin. Often times people will be surprised as their blackheads seem to come to the surface and "pop" out as the layers of skin are removed. It also helps to prevent blackheads as it removes the debris that helps to cause them.

According to Dermatologist, Charles Merwin MD, Rosacea is thought to be caused by Demodex Folliculorum. This is a mite that lives in the sebaceous glands of the skin. Altho most people have this mite, for some reason people with Rosacea have an over-abundance of them. Their excretions irritate, and infect the area leading to the stages of Rosacea. This is why many Dermatologists treat Rosacea with Sulfa creams and preparations. The effects of Epidermx™ and EpidermxII™ on people with Rosacea and other skin disorders was a surprise. EpidermxII™ contains many ingredients that have a sanitizing effect on the skin. Some people with Rosacea have dry sensitive skin; others heavy oily skin. We recommend the Triple Lavender Face Foam™, with a daily light daily massage of EpidermxII™. Chrysalyx™ in particular is an outstanding product for you.

Have you seen our stretch mark before and after? Over the last 7 years, we have had many success stories with stretch marks. People tell us that the stretch marks seem to fade into the outside skin tone. They basically massage a treatment into the stretch mark daily.

I had the same thing happen to me, until I realized what was going on!! I was massaging some areas more thoroughly than others. I just had to slow down and pay attention to how long I was working each area.

We recommend that you always consult with your physician. If you are going to use Retin-A® make sure you use it at the opposite time of the day as the EpidermxII™. We have many people who use the two successfully in combination. You may want to look into current research that shows Retin-A® actually long term produces wrinkles.

The only adverse reactions we have had over the last 7years has been people who have been allergic to corundum crystal. We have had 10 returns in 7 years. The NaturDerm™ product line was developed for people with sensitive skin. It is one of the purest product lines available, and even rarer are the silicone-free products. If you have allergies to known ingredients in our product line, we do not recommend you consult with your health care professional and do use the product.

We recommend that you always consult with your physician. We recommend that you use EpidermxII™ at the opposite time of the day and we do not recommend you use acid based products after using EpidermxII™.

If you use EpidermxII™ daily, you will go thru about a jar every 4-6 weeks. Each time you use EpidermxII™ you will notice something different. First you should notice a difference in the tone, texture and clarity of the skin. Using it nightly, after the first week you should see the beginning of a firmness. Over 2-6 months many begin to see actual lifting and the minimizing of surface lines. For acne and oily skin you will notice the decrease in oil very quickly.

Seven years ago when I began the development of EpidermxII™, I predicted that there would not be any company producing skin care products that would not have a microdermabrasion product in their product line. That is how effective these products are on the skin. Epidermx™ was the first natural based manual microdermabrasion cream. Many companies have copied our ingredient list. Try them - they pale in comparison. Noone can ever copy a product. Why? You don't know where someone is getting there ingredients from, and the method of production. NaturDerm™ is one of very few silicne-free product lines in the world, and the only hydrophilic balanced. It is more expensive, and it is one of the unique features of our products. The second factor is the Corundum Crystal itself, most of the Corundum on the market is actually a synthetic lab production from Bauxite and is far too soft to impact the skin. The third - most of them use cheap ingredients - many that clog the skin. You'll see the difference in the performance. When you use microdermabrasion cream you are removing the surface layers of skin and depositing the ingredients in the product down deep into the skin. You really can have a profound effect on your skin! Companies copy our products all of the time. A product can have the same ingredient list - it will not be the same product, nor will it perform the same. If you find products with like ingredients - test them - you'll find this to be true. So please be aware, only we have the original EpidermxII™. I am the developer of Epidermx™, EpidermxII™is still the original product produced to my specifications. Only EpidermxII™ performs like EpidermxII™. Try a few brands, we encourage you to do so. We know you'll be back to see us again! Nothing still smells as good, nothing still works as well!
