Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel Review

My boyfriend's sister gave this to me as a gift, as she didn't like how it felt on her skin. I had never used anything by Dr. Lewinns, so was excited to try this out.

I was a little concerned that the beads would be too rough on my face but this felt extremely cleansing and gentle on my skin. My face feels super, super clean after using this and my face is really soft.

This feels like it gives my skin a really deep clean - which I really like. It feels like all of the impurities are cleansed out, without being too rough.

The scent of this is really subtle and it doesn't irritate my dry or sensitive skin. I really like this and will be purchasing it after the tube I have runs out.

Have been using this for years! Love the way it is scrubby without being too harsh. You can easily use this 3-4 times per week without feeling like you are overdoing it. My only qualm is with the price. I never buy it full price as I cant justify the $55 odd dollars for what it is (priceline in Aussy always have unboxed specials for approx $20 which is where I get mine from - after all who keeps a box?).

Well im excited to write this review! why? because this product IS AWESOME! seriously i LOVE it so much!! its not harsh so doesnt leave our face feeling like sand paper has been rubbing on your face, the small Jojoba beads are so gentle and they kind of 'pop' on your skin while you wash. and my goodness!!! my face just feels INCREDIBLE after using this!!! wow, i really do not no what else to say, its just one of the best exfoliants i have used!

This is an incredible product. I use it twice a week and I've had the tube for quite some time now - a little really does go a long way, you only need a small amount for it to work. The jojoba beads are really soft, they gently exfoliate your skin - no harsh scratching or drying but still really effective, and no awful tight feeling afterwards.

I have only recently found the dr lewinns brand and absolutely love it. I recently purchased the polishing gel and it is fantastic. My skin feels so smooth and clean after using it.

I was lucky to be selected to trial this product and was really pleased with it! The packaging is simple yet sophisticated - what I would expect from Dr. Lewinns. The product comes in your typical squeezy tube with a pop-open cap, easy to open with one hand.

The consistency is quite thin in comparison with exfoliating products I usually use which I liked as I didn't find it as harsh. The scent reminds me of lemon sorbet or margarita - which is cool with me!

I have normal-dry skin, I used this product 2-3 times a week (more than advised) and had good results. I have recently been struggling with my forehead being covered with those little spots that never seem to eventuate into anything and are impossible to get rid of - when I began using this I had at least 10 and now I am down to 4!

This product has made me want to try more Dr. Lewinns products!

I currently have this product in my shower to use and I love it. The beads inside the formulation are not scratchy like other scrubs I have used before and it does not irritate my skin.

I use it on my face and chest and found that it has really made a difference in clearing up minor blemishes that I have in that area.

My partner also uses it and he says it is great pre shaving and helps to eliminate ingrown hairs.

Overall a great all round product

I was given this product to trial by BR, and was quite excited, as Dr Lewinns have a very good reputation.

It comes initially in a plainish box with Dr Lewinns Branding outlining the name of the product and the ingredients, which are Jojoba Wax beads (which answers the question of how it exfoliates), Aloe Vera and Chamomile Extract. Inside the box is a classy looking plastic bottle with a flip top lid. The bottle is transparent so you can clearly see the product inside and know when it’s running low, which I really like.

The product itself is pale yellow. It is thick with beads. The beads disperse once mixed with the water and don’t feel to heavy or scratchy. It has a subtle clean scent that I like. As per the instructions, I have been using it in the shower in the mornings, massaging it into my damp skin as recommended. I feel that it cleans my skin very well without being abrasive. I have been using it daily (the recommendation is for once per week for dry skin like mine), and the extra use hasn’t done any harm that I can see. I must add that my skin isn’t usually sensitive though. After drying, my skin feels clean, plump, and soft, with the same smooth feel that other products with waxy ingredients leave on my skin. My complexion definitely looks more even after use. I’m hoping it will eventually improve the skin on my neck with regular daily massaging.

I use, and have used, a lot of exfoliants and I think this is above average, particularly as it isn’t rough and doesn’t dry my skin. It claims to polish the skin to reveal a fresh and glowing complexion. I think it achieves this well, considering my skin is mature.

The product also claims to use natural herbal ingredients and nutrients for added skin conditioning, and I like that.

To be honest, I would have been prepared to purchase it again until I looked up the price - $55. While it is a very good product, I couldn’t pay $55 for it I’m afraid. Having said that, you only need to use a small amount at a time (pea sized amount) so the tube will last for ages, if you want to lay out $55 initially.

Bit runny - when I opened the lid I was holding it upside down and, squeezed gently into my palm and ended up wth almost a handful!

But thats pretty much where the negative side ends.

This smells yummy - kinda like my summer smoothies made with mango lol.

It left my face feeling clean and soft, not greasy or dry like others do and it didnt make my skin break out ... bonus ☺

I really liked it. Will definitely keep using it.

I used this product when I was looking for an exfoliator, and perhaps that was my mistake considering it is called a 'polishing gel' and not an exfoliator but I really didn't find this to be effective on my skin at all. It didn't do any damage to my skin but I don't feel that my skin was clearer, smoother or otherwise improved from using this product. It has a lovely fine texture and is nice to use but (especially considering the price) I don't believe I would consider this product again as I really want an exfoliator to leave my skin noticably smoother and clearer. I typically have a few small spots on my face at any one time, nothing horrible, but this product didn't help to keep my skin any clearer.
