Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel Review

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!

Over the years I hav tried so many different face scrubs with all ending in fails, my skin has always been bad. that's the only nice word I can use, I had given up on ever clearing my face up and saw this trial i had read other reviews on this product and felt like another leap of faith to hopefully find something that works. woo hoo made the trial and product arrived. Day 1 of my trial for Dr LeWinn's Facial Polishing Gel I am very skeptical as absolutely nothing has worked in the past for me so I read the label an it says best under running water, but good old me in a hurry decides to just run a lil sink full of water as I hav to get ready for work but am way 2 keen to start my testing of this yummy smelling face polish. let's put this beauty to the test. well it feels good as it's rubbed over my face, its not to rough with the texture of the product and I wash it off racing off to get ready for work. as I'm moisturizing my face there is still some of the face polish sneakily remaining on my face. this would be the reasoning for running water peeps, so off to rinse round 2 and finish off with a wet flannel. bingo definitely all done this time. hav double and triple checked. now pat dry an off to get ready. man on 1st use my skin feels so soft only time will tell.

Day 2 Early morning face wash b4 getting ready and I'm loving the feel of my skin after using this product. on only the 2nd day my skin definitely feels softer an cleaner this time one did as the label recommend an used the running water hehe. Day 3 Wow my skin is actually starting to look good. ha I didn't actually think this would happen like with other products in the past, but this one is doing some amazing things. Days 4 an 5 I hav to say the difference in my skins appearance is choice, i am a very happy trial member an so thankful that I was one of the selected few that got the chance to try this product. i absolutely give this a huge 10 out of 10.

Gorgeous, effective product.

Simple, clean lines packaging - very modern and fresh.

Product is quite thin and only a very little needed. Glides on well on a damp face, gentle yet effective.

My skin is a little more on the dry side as I'm aging so only used once a week, and that was enough. Didn't dry my skin out like other exfoliants are prone to but certainly felt like it had done a good job of exfoliating.

Subtle light fragrance, not overpowering. Did not sting my sensitive eyes like other products invariably do in coming anywhere close to the area.

Price point high for many consumers but a little goes a long way with this product and it comes in a generous tube size.

Great product!

I love Dr Lewinns products so I had high expectations for this facial "polish". I am pleased to say that my expectations were exceeded. Coming in a flip top tube I found my only gripe was that I had to be very gentle or I ended up with way too much product. It has a gentle fragrance that is neither stunning nor horrible but gives an impression of "clean". It feels quite smooth and silky to touch as the jojoba wax beads are very small and soft feeling. I used it in the shower and found it easy to apply and wash off. While using it for the first time you may doubt its effectiveness as it seems illogical that this lotion could be exfoliating anything as it feels so soft on the skin - I definitely did. But when you wash it off and dry your skin if you are like me it will feel soft and smooth. I used it 3 times in the first week I had it but could have got away with once or twice on my drier skin. I would use this again as part of my regular regime.

With combination skin that easily gets congested, using an exfoliating cleanser makes an immense difference to my skin and well, a good exfoliant makes the world of difference. So I was very excited when I was asked to trial the Dr. LeWinn’s Facial Polishing Gel. Product Description For normal/dry skin use once a week. For combination/oily skin use three to four time a week. Gently exfoliates the skin without the use of abrasive exfoliates commonly contained in other scrubs. With natural jojoba beads, the gel gently melts away flaky skin. Dr LeWinn's Facial Polishing Gel actually polishes the skin and removes the oil layer from the skin surface. Intial Thoughts The Facial Polishing Gel comes in a handy tube, with a flip lid, and it is designed to stand on its lid, which makes it easy to use every single bit of scrub in the tube. It has a frosted white colour, which also makes it easy to see how much is left of the yellow scrub. The tube comes in a matte white box with grey sides, and full instructions as well as ingredients of the contents of the Polishing Gel. The Polishing Gel, which has a pretty pale yellow colour, has a pleasant and gentle floral-vanilla scent, which however is so subtle, and once rinsed off the face, this scent more or less completely disappears. Some of the key ingredients in the scrub are jojoba esters (wax beads), which has the purpose of exfoliating and moisturising the skin. It also contains algae extract which has toning and firming benefits, as well as Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, which is soothing and moisturising. Another key ingredient is Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, with its calming and soothing benefits, and finally Rosemarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract with Toning, Firming & Stimulating effect. According to the on both the tube and on the box, it is recommended to use once a week for normal to dry skin, or three to four times for combination to oily skin. In other words, this scrub is suitable for all skin types, and is certainly gentle enough to use on dry and sensitive skin as well.

This face wash is nice, don't get me wrong. But I 100% would not be spending $55 on it.

I love the simple packaging, a clear tube with simple black and silver writing on it. The product comes out really easily and I find I need about a 10 cent piece sized amount to lather over my face.

The smell is very chamomiley which I find really soothing and relaxing. It's not too over powering which is perfect for me.

It is a super gentle exfoliator which my skin loves. The beads in it aren't harsh at all but still give you a good scrub to get rid of any dirt or leftover makeup. I just use my fingers in a circular motion over and over for about a minute and this seems to do the trick.

Because I have super sensitive and dry skin, I only used this a couple of times as was directed. In this time I didn't see any huge changes, but in some ways that is a good thing cause if my skin doesn't like a wash, it will tell me straight away by either drying out or breaking out. Because of this, I would say it's pretty good and I do like it, but it is nothing mind blowing.

Love the gentleness of it, love the smell, my skin does feel nice after use...but not $55 nice.

(And I didn't notice any 'polishing' effect)

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 am completely obsessed with exfoliators, I have dry skin and there is something rather satisfying scrubbing away flaky dry skin, so I was absolutely delighted to trial this facial polishing gel. (thanks, so much BR)

The packaging is perfect, it comes in a 150g clear squeeze tube and it sits on a flip top lid. The product itself has a very thin and runny consistency so you don’t need to squeeze the tube much at all to get the product out.

I splash a bit of water around my face, squeeze out a 10-cent size amount and gently massage the gel over my face. At this point I realise why it says to use it in the shower being such a thin consistency it does get a bit messy however, it makes it so easy to massage around, something I can easily do for 30-60 seconds. I love the scent, it’s kind of floral I’m guessing it’s the camomile but it’s not the usual camomile scent I’m used to. The polishing beads are a very fine white jojoba bead, they are so gentle yet very effective.

When I wash the polish off my face I notice my skin feels silky soft and clean but doesn’t feel tight or stripped. It looks healthy and refreshed.

I have been using this every second night- even though it says to use it once a week for dry skin, I can’t help myself! It leaves my face super soft and since the beads are so fine and gentle It hasn’t harmed my skin.

Even though this is a slightly dearer product I would happily repurchase it as it does leave my skin feeling fabulous and a little bit does go a long way so it should last a long time, I also love how this is suitable for dry, oily and combination skin. Highly recommended to everyone!

Received this as a trial product from BR. I have combination/oily skin, so used this product every second day. Recommended for use in the shower in the morning, I used this in the shower in the evening.

Upon using this for the first time, the scent was beautiful. Not overpowering but very suttle and calming. The wax beads were a nice texture for exfoliating. Not harsh in any way, when massaging in circular movements, I focused particularly on my T zone and nasal area(where I am most prone for blackheads.)

End result: Using this product felt like I was pampering myself. My skin felt gently cleansed and cared for. I also noticed a visible reduction in the black heads on my nose which I was really impressed with.

My first though when I opened the courier bag was that the packaging was the typical sophisticated, lovely looking packaging I've come to expect of Dr. Lewinns products. The bottle itself is quite pretty, and I like that it is see through, so you can see how much product you have left. The first time I used it, my immediate thought was that the scent wasn't really my thing - I don't hate it, but it's not a smell I would go out of my way to be around. As far as the feel of the product, it's a lovely gentle wash with a slight exfoliation to it. If you are the kind of person who wants a heavy duty in depth exfoliation, this is probably not the one for you. But this would be great for people with acne, or redness, as it wouldn't aggravate those conditions. The first time I used it I actually found my skin felt a little dry and tight the day after I used it, but on subsequent uses I didn't get that feeling, so I'm not sure what was going on there. I used it twice a week, as I have some dryness and redness and didn't want to overdo it. Overall, I think it's a nice product, I don't think I would pay that price for it, but I would use it again if I was given it xx
