MacroExfoliator test on sensitive skin

Rodan + Fields new MacroE tool for once a week exfoliation is not intended for use on sensitive skin like mine. But with the wisdom of the doctors and Nurse Mary behind me, I gave it a brief test. I tried it on the top of my forehead and on a place along my jawline - neither of these spots have been affected by rosacea as far as I know. So, I carefully followed the directions and used the tool at low power 3 in manual mode for about 30 seconds on each area. I followed with the cooling gel. My results? A bit of redness on the jawline, and none on the forehead. The skin sensations today? Better texture and smoothness on both areas, and no swelling or redness. It doesn't look like inflamed skin, which is often what you see after someone has had an exfoliation. So, I will try it again next week. Remember this is a once a week usage for all skin types.
