Is it worth a spot on your shelf?

The smaller version of Daily Microfoliant, a water-activated rice-based powder exfoliant.

The appeal: The mini lets you try the powder-and-water routine before committing to a larger bottle. The core appeal is the format, not a different exfoliating product. Dermalogica

The tradeoff: There is less product for repeated use, and the mixing step is still part of the routine. Compare sizes once you know whether you enjoy using it.

Our take: Start here to test the format or pack a smaller bottle; move to the standard size only if it suits your routine.
