Should I buy a derma flannel, or save money and use any old microfibre cloth?

I've been toying with the idea of getting one for a while baa but I remember someone saying one from poundland worked just as well.

Should I save my money or is the derma flannel really that amazing?

what is a dermaflanner? how much and what does it do?

SirToffeeDoris · 20/03/2013 16:59

cough (I can be v. tight fisted at times). Working shockingly well for my extremely sensitive face, though I don't use it everyday I then clanse tone moisturise whatever with a mix of this range, which is about the only stuff out there that I don't react to.

SirToffeeDoris · 20/03/2013 17:00

I typed clanse, I meant cleanse. This is obvious, but I'm still cringing a the typo Grin

SirToffeeDoris · 20/03/2013 17:08

At the typo, even. Getting worse...

I've got the proper dermaflannel and a friend in work has bought a waffle microfibre cloth (the one on amazon... The link to it is on the other thread). I'd say save yourself a tenner and buy the cheap cloth.

Just need to find something over £20 to buy on amazon to qualify for the add on product!

What about this or am I way off the mark?

I bought this:
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AG901X6/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=kitchen
apparently the 80/20 blend of polyester and polyamide is the dermal grade from what I read here
www.1888articles.com/how-microfiber-microdermabrasion-cloths-improve-acne-and-blemished-skin-065of14d5y.html
and is the same composition of the dermaflannel, so I think it must be very very similar, if not actually the same.

choceyes · 20/03/2013 21:25

hhmmm, looking closely at it, the waffle pattern is quite deep, deeper than the dermaflannel, so might not work as well, so I've cancelled my order. but will order something similar. I read on make up alley that even cheapo microfibre clothes does the job just as well.

HungryClocksGoBackFourSeconds · 20/03/2013 23:50

There's this on ebay, but the weave looks quite deep on that too? Comes in a four pack which is a bonus.

I want to get one that is definitely for skin, because that article choc posted says it might not be safe to use household ones

I searched facial microfibre on Amazon. Found a 5 for £5.99 option. Can't link at the moment. Arrived yesterday and I used last night. Today my skin feels much smoother but also a bit dry and a little pink (not helped by cold breeze this morning). Think it might be a winner but I am going to give it a week or so before deciding. I wanted to have more than one for washing etc and am also v tight so wanted to try for cheap. (Probably bad reasoning as of course the more expensive one might be much better. But i am who I am)
