Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant 13g (travelsize)
Description
Description
Travel size gentle exfoliating powder for on the go and introduction
When traveling, the skin often has it tougher than at home. Airplane cabins with low humidity, fatigue, different water hardness, and stress cause a dull, tired complexion within a few days. Yet this is exactly the moment when many people drop their exfoliating routine because their regular products are too large for carry-on luggage. The result: skin that, precisely when it would benefit most from gentle cell renewal, is left behind.
The 13g travel size of Daily Milkfoliant was developed precisely for this reason. Small enough for any carry-on, weekend bag, or makeup clutch, but with the same full formula as the standard size. Additionally, this is the ideal introductory size for those who want to try Milkfoliant first before investing in the 74g size. Good for about three to four weeks of daily use, more than enough to see if the gentle powder exfoliant suits your skin type.
Benefits
- Fits within the 100ml limit for carry-on luggage on flights
- Suitable for weekend bags, sports bags, and sleepovers
- Ideal introductory size before purchasing the standard size
- Contains the same full formula as the 74g standard size
- Practical gift size for those who want to introduce someone to the exfoliant
Active ingredients
Oat kernel protein & oat bran extract (Avena Sativa): When traveling, a soothing ingredient is especially valuable because the skin often reacts more sensitively due to time zone changes, dry cabin air, and stress. Oat beta-glucans soothe the skin during exfoliation, even in unfamiliar conditions. This makes Milkfoliant suitable to take along, even when the skin reacts more quickly than at home.
Coconut extract (Cocos Nucifera): Delivers essential fatty acids that nourish the skin during and after exfoliation. When traveling, where the skin often dries out faster due to conditioned air in hotels and airplanes, this ingredient forms a valuable nourishing layer. The milky texture that forms with water remains consistent even in unknown water quality.
Grape extract & Arginine as mild fruit acids: The plant-based AHAs and BHAs help the skin look fresher and more radiant, an important factor when traveling where you are often photographed or appear in business meetings. A daily mild exfoliation keeps the skin even despite a disrupted routine.
Papaya extract (Papain): The enzymatic action helps loosen dead skin cells that often accumulate faster during travel due to dehydration. A short daily application is enough to keep the skin in good condition, even without other extensive products in your travel routine.
Microcrystalline Cellulose & Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate: The gentle mechanical exfoliation and coconut cleansing agent work identically in the travel format as in the standard format. For business travelers who want a fresh appearance before an important appointment, one application already delivers noticeably smoother skin.
Hyaluronic acid, allantoin & refined sea salt: The hydrating and soothing base ingredients ensure the skin does not dry out during travel due to exfoliation. This is essential during periods when you don’t have access to your usual extensive skincare routine and the travel format alone must provide a complete treatment.
Essential oils of bergamot, rosewood, and chamomile: The aromatherapeutic dimension makes the travel product extra valuable. While traveling, where sleep and routine are often disrupted, the natural scent profile adds a calming dimension to the morning or evening ritual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 13g contain the same formula as the 74g?
Yes, exactly the same formula and concentration of active ingredients. The only difference is the packaging size. The oats, coconut, papaya, grape extract, and all other actives are present in identical proportions.
Does the 13g jar fit in airplane carry-on luggage?
Yes. The powder format is exempt from the 100ml liquid limit for carry-on luggage, and the small jar fits easily into any toiletry bag. Unlike liquid exfoliants, you can take this product on flights without restrictions.
How long does a 13g jar last approximately?
With daily use, the 13g lasts about three to four weeks. When used as a travel size for a week or weekend, you have enough left for multiple trips. It’s a practical size to keep alongside the 74g at home as a travel version.
Is this a good gift for someone who hasn’t used Dermalogica before?
Yes. Daily Milkfoliant is one of the brand’s most beloved products, and the 13g size is immediately accessible without the recipient needing extensive skincare knowledge. The gentle effect and sensory experience make it a great gift.
What if I like the 13g, should I upgrade to 74g?
Not necessary. Many users keep a 13g jar permanently in their travel bag and a 74g on the bathroom counter at home. This combination is practical for those who travel regularly and want to continue their routine uninterrupted without having to transfer product each time.
Can I keep the 13g jar in the shower?
Preferably not. Daily Milkfoliant is a powder formula that must remain dry to work optimally. Store the jar in a dry place, even in the hotel room, and only open it at the moment of use. This prevents the powder from clumping or activating prematurely.
Can I refill the 13g jar from a 74g standard size?
That is possible, but make sure both the jar and the scoop are completely clean and dry. A tip is to use a kitchen scale to scoop the correct weight and avoid damaging the sifter during transfer.
