Your Best Face Prep Microdermabrasion

I've found that generally, YBF products work well for me. They don't give me instant "wow" results, but they are very soothing to use, stabilize my skin and over time improve it. YBF Prep is a favorite facial scrub. The grains are fine and exfoliate well, and what I like best is that it washes off easily and cleanly, leaving my face nice and soft. Most scrubs require plenty of water and splashing to wash off, and sometimes I can feel leftover stray grains after patting dry my face. Not Prep! And yes, one jar lasts and lasts, so it's worth the price.

I love this product. I have so many large pores on and around my nose that I'm constantly reminded of Minnesota and its 10,000 lakes. After 10 weeks of using Prep three times a week, I can't believe the difference. I'm not saying all of my pores are all closed but its getting there. I can't wait to see what another 10 weeks bring. In addition, Prep leaves my sensitive skin feeling clean and polished. I haven't tried it as a mask yet like others but I'm going to this weekend. I should also note that you need so little of the Prep to get good results that it is very economical.

I just want to update my original review, I loved this product to begin with and I believe that they updated it slightly, in any case I find it to be less dry than the original one that I used, the product stays more moist in the container than before, which is great. But what I really wanted to update is how I combine products, in this case, I put a few drops of Josie Maran's Argan Cleansing Oil in my palm and mix it with this product and it makes a lovely combination to really clean and polish my skin. My skin feels super clean afterwards and not at all dry, and it is a wonderful way to prep my skin before using my facial devices.

I generally love YBF and I specifically love the formulation of Prep and all the great exfoliating and hyperpigmentation-fighting ingredients packed into it. Like others, the price is the only thing keeping me from constantly using it!

I would have to say that I also love Prep. I have used everything before and nothing gets close to a spa-level service like Prep. My only complaint is the price. It is really pricey for an exfoliator. For that reason, I go without it for awhile and then break down and buy it again.
It's very impressive how it buffs the skin without actually damaging it or causing excessive redness.

I received my first "prep" as a sample size and liked it enough to buy a larger size. I was a little concerned initially that the particles felt a little rough, but I have not had any adverse effects on my skin and it definitely makes my skin feel quite clean and polished. The cleansing/exfoliating particles have been effective at cleaning without tearing. I am a big fan of YBF products in general and some of the pros on this one are not just its effectiveness, but that, as with their other products, a little goes a long way. It seems to have the right level of intensity that I can use it several times a week as it leaves my skin very clean without feeling stripped of moisture.

I absolutely love love love this product! It's gentle enough and really cleans out my blackheads and helps keep my acne in check. I try other exfoliators but I keep coming back to this one. Thank you TIA for stocking it- I do not know how else I would get YBF products here in Australia. Thank you!

I do love this... exfoliator/microdermabrasion/masque - because it's all three . It's gentle enough not to aggravate my rosacea, it cleans out my pores and it helps make inroads into my tiny wrinkles. What's not to like? It smells good, feels good and is gentle to use a couple of times a week. Another great offering from YBF!

I have used the microdermabrasion cream and LOVED the texture and gentle yet refreshing exfoliation it gives.

I love love love Prep! It is the best mask and leaves my skin looking smooth and bright!

I love the prep microdermabrasion cream. It is very effective at polishing my skin and leaving it very soft and smooth.

This product is fantastic. The consistency is perfect for a microdermabrasion and the ingredients are great. Love that its a scrub and a mask. My skin feels so smooth and fresh after using. I don't love the price but I did purchase.

Great microdermabrasion! I feel it's close to being like the one I get once a month at my aesthetician. I can save money using this product and have something else done at her business!

Feels really nice, exactly right amount of "abrasion". Serum and moisturizer feels extra effective when applied after Prep.

I'm actually typing this with "Prep" on my face, neck and décolletage and loving the product. I've never exfoliated with anything stronger than Lush's "Angels on Bare Skin" before and even though that's a lovely product, the difference is like day and night. I've only had this product for a couple of weeks and this is my 4th application and I can't believe what I've been missing out on.
I find the micro particles very abrasive, I'm not used to this and only scrub with the most minimal pressure, I can feel the mask doing it's job now but with no discomfort. And the effect is amazing, I actually have a baby and even though I'll never achieve that level of softness on his bottom, I feel this is the closest I'll ever get. Definitely a keeper and I will repurchase before I run out.

I'm so glad this came in a YBF sampler, because I would never have thought to try it otherwise. I have sensitive, thin skin that's very prone to irritation and inflammation, and as a result I avoid anything remotely abrasive. But since I love the other YBF products so much, I gave Prep a try, and was soon using it every day. Amazingly it's given me NO irritation. On the contrary, it leaves my skin smooth and plump. I've had no problem with breakouts since I started using it (which is a small miracle in itself), and old red discolorations are fading to the point where I don't have to wear makeup. Keep running those YBF promotions, TIA. Every time you do, I become addicted to another great product.

I was just searching the site because I had run out of this wonderful product, decided I would write a review. I am a scrub addict, there I said it. I have been in search of the perfect one thought I found it in the last kit by Marta. But having tried YBF Prep I know now this is the one. I have large pores around my nose that I am so self conscious of and this minimized them with the first use I could not believe it. By the time I finished the jar not only did my skin look really great but pores are practically no more. I hope this helps someone looking for a fantastic scrub and I agree with Marta use on neck and chest area also you will be pleased with the results. Now I must order order more!

I absolutely love the reformulated Prep. It seems to be a little bit creamier than the original Prep which my combination skin is appreciating this winter. With the old Prep, I used it as a scrub twice a week and once a week as a mask. With the added peptides in the reformulated Prep, I've been leaving it on as a mask 3 times a week so not to waste the benefits of any of them. Unlike other masks, Prep serves as an exfoliant first (apply in a circular motion on wet skin) and washes off easily. The original formula is a great product. The reformulated Prep is PERFECTION!

I find Prep to be so versatile. Great of course as a microdermabrasion scrub but I like to use it in combination with other products or ingredients too.
I add some Tilvee mask powder or some yogurt or other DIY ingredient. My favorite is to put LaVie Celeste facial cleaner on and then add a smidge of Prep to the nose, mouth, forehead, neck, or whatever area needs a bit extra but not a full scrub. Skin feels very clean but also soft and glowy.

I would first like to start by saying how balanced this facial scrub is. The particles are fine enough so they do not tear the epidermis. Also I noticed, In the morning when I was in a rush, I could take a cloth with water and it would come right off. Other facial scrubs will not easily come off unless you were in the shower. This one comes right off so it kind of makes you want to use it as part of your regimen.
My skin felt extremely clean and I felt a little more confident that all my make-up was removed unlike other products. In addition, my skin glowed.
Everything was perfect about this product except one thing: I had trouble opening and closing the lid of the jar. Other than that I definitely will be purchasing this again. I found the consistency to be balanced and my skin loved it.

Prep has a creamy consistency with the most ultra fine crystals imaginable that left my skin feeling polished. Instead of red and irritated, my skin felt smooth and refreshed. I appreciate that it also serves dual roles as exfoliant and mask. Quick and easy, you simply lightly massage a small amount onto damp skin and rinse or you can leave on for a few minutes as a mask. I used this at night three times a week as a mask to reap the maximum benefit. What I had left on my fingertips I used to give the back of my hands a treatment also. The product rinses easily, completely and a little bit goes a long way. The range of benefits listed on their website include: brightens skin, smoothes & refines, reduces wrinkles & inflammation, balances skin, discourages future blemishes. I found after a couple of uses it also eliminated a few tiny blackheads that were beginning to form on my forehead.

I have been using Prep for about a month and I am very pleased with results. I am 34 years old and have oily/combination skin. My trouble areas include enlarged pores, post-acne marks, light hyperpigmentation, and emerging fine lines around my eyes and my nose.
I have used Prep 3 times a week primarily as a mask. It significantly decreased scarring on my face, blemishes, smoothed out a few small hyperpigmentation marks, and evened out the entire complexion. It’s a powerful product when it comes to tackling blackheads. I found that it was easier to apply my makeup afterwards.
As YBF founders warn, “Prep is not necessarily suited for the most sensitive skin types, but works amazingly well for those with normal to sensitive skin.”
It did not significantly decrease my lines. The product gets washed off after all, but right after use, my face did look tighter and a bit more supple.
It retails for $80 / 1.7 oz (50 ml) but a little goes a long way. It is a very generous jar, indeed.

I have been using the Your Best Face Prep ($80 in the TIA shop) for a month and I have to say I am very pleased with the results so far. I have used other exfoliates, but none have been as fine as Prep. My face feels absolutely smooth as a baby's bottom. I have extremely sensitive skin and also use the Clarisonic facial brush. On the days I use the Prep I lay off the Clarisonic. If I use both, my face is a bit red for a while and it can cause too much irritation.
I went for a facial two weeks ago and my esthtitician told me to keep using Prep in conjunction with the other products I use. I love the rather unique fragrance it has. It smells like a spa in a jar. A little goes a long way and for me using it 2x a week is enough.
I will definitely keep Prep in my keep drawer. My other products go on so easy and it doesn't seem like you need as much of the serums and moisturizers. That means they go a lot farther and saves money in the long run while making your face look younger and smoother.

This is still the gold standard and the real workhorse in the YBF line. Great results, and really not expensive given that a very little goes a very long way.

I love this product!!! It is well worth the money.
