PMD Personal Microderm, $159
I’ve been questing to achieve skin that doesn’t piss me off for a while now. Around the holidays, I ordered a PMD Personal Microderm system from Nordstrom to try. My concerns:
- General exfoliation/cellular turnover
- Sebaceous filaments
- Skincare product absorption
- General preventative aging stuff
PMD Personal Microderm describes their device as…
…a revolutionary at-home skincare tool that provides the same brilliant results as professional … treatments. PMD Personal Microderm combines Patented(1) Spinning Disc technology(2) with Perfectly Calibrated(3) Vacuum Suction to brighten, smooth, and even skin tone and texture. Personal Microderm reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and enlarged pores. This exfoliation process removes the dead, dull skin cell barrier, increases blood flow, and boosts the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.
Having a Patent isn’t as Big of Deal as it Sounds
First things first: I hate when marketing departments throw the word, “patented,” in front of something. It’s a buzz-word. It isn’t more impressive simply because it was patented. Not to be crass here, but toilet tissue was patented, too.
Just add, “Technology!”
Second, more marketing criticism – “Spinning disc technology.” You know what else uses spinning disc technology?
