Dear Christine,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We have updated our formulas and we created a bigger difference between Daily Micro Derm and Nitty Gritty. One reason we changed the formulas is because our original formula called for diatomaceous earth. The availability has gone way down while the cost has gone way up. We didn't want to have to increase the price so we found an exceptional new ingredient for the scrub that is indeed, more gentle than before. We are using bamboo for the grit in the Daily Micro Derm.
However, if you prefer a grittier scrub, may we suggest trying the Nitty Gritty Face and Body Polish. We will send you a sample to try.
We appreciate your review and comments and hope you will enjoy both scrubs to alternate your cleansing routine.
Thank you
