Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel Review

It was my lucky day when I was selected to review Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing gel - thank you Beauty Review! It is a rare treat when I purchase what I consider 'expensive' skin care and makeup treatments. At $46 RRP, this is one of those! The gel comes in a generous size, and is lemon coloured, fluid yet thick, so you don't need very much for your face. A 50c blob on wet hands covers my noggin and gives plenty of paste to massage in. There are 2 points that strike me about this exfoliater - The delicious smell and the exfoliation component. The fragrance is a coconutty pineappley bananaey yum, smells edible. In saying that, I had no reaction whatsoever - some fragrances make me sneeze or break out. The exfoliation is very good, but I wouldn't say it's 'gentle' as it lists on the box. After using a very gentle exfoliator - so gentle I couldn't feel any roughness - this is like liquid sandpaper by comparison. The paste is full of very fine abraiding beads, which I understand are jojoba esters. It forces me to take time and slow down my face routine, so as not to be too rough. After the roughness, the skin feels very smooth, but not tight or stripped of oils, which I did not expect. Overall I really like this gel and I would use it again. However, I'm not sure if we will have the opportunity as unfortunately I discovered that this product is on the microbeads hit list as it contains polyethylene. Hopefully Dr Lewinns review the formula so we can continue to use Club Tropicana in the future.

This is definitely by far the best exfoliator I have ever used, and I have used many exfoliators over the years! Although the price point may put some people off, a little bit of this product really does go a long way, and the product amount you receive of 150mls is generous. When I can see the benefits a product is also giving me, I am more than happy to repurchase – and I will be! I have normal to dry skin which is semi-sensitive at times with mild redness, and I have been using this exfoliator twice a week in the mornings. It leaves my skin feeling so rejuvenated and fresh – the natural herbal extracts and nutrients are likely to help as they mention these ingredients assist with added skin conditioning. I love the feeling of a fresh well cleansed face in the morning! I then follow the rest of my skincare routine – moisturizer, primer and then foundation. This exfoliator helps my foundation to apply like a dream – so smooth and flawless. My face is left baby smooth every time and remains that way for a few days hence why I only need to use the scrub around twice a week. The scrub itself is very gentle. I find the scent very light – a slight fresh scent with a mild banana scent. The exfoliating beads are soft, but they provide an effective deep clean, leaving my face feeling very light and glowing with radiance. This product did not irritate my skin, and it had no redness once the exfoliator was washed off my face.

I found it to be one of the best exfoliating gels I've use. Although it could be a little pricy for some people at rrp $55 you only need to use a little bit as it goes a long way, definitely worth every cent. It left my skin feeling clean and smooth to touch. I really like the fragrance The scent is subtle, and exfoliated really well.

I have had a few problems with exfoliators this year and skin sensitivity so I was a little apprehensive trying this. My skin can be described as sensitive and otherwise is relatively normal. I do get a little oil on my nose but that's about it.

Reading the directions they suggested I use this once or twice a week and that is what I have been doing. This product has been wonderful to use! No skin sensitivity issues and I feel it is actually doing that it said it would do. The beads are super fine but there is a lot of them so the exfoliate effectively. My skin is left feeling clean and smooth but not tight and dehydrated.

My partner who has oily, acne prone skin has also been using and enjoying it too.

This is definitely a product I will re-purchase.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this incredible product in a trial team, thank you BR! Anyway, this product claims to be a gentle facial polishing scrub that will 'slough' the dead skin off your face without irritating it. I can definitely say this is true, I love using it. The one thing I'm not such a fan of is the price - $55 but I do suppose it comes in quite a big tube with 150g of product. You can find this product at Farmers, selected pharmacies and online.

First off, the packaging - this comes in a nice, clean looking cardboard box and inside is the tube (obviously!) which is squeezy and made from clear product so you can see how much is left at all times. It does make it a little hard to control how much product comes out, sometimes I found a bit too much squeezed out but that's not a big issue. The smell of this product is also interesting - kind of banana smelling, it reminds me of a Cotton On Body store for some reason? But it is nice, quite strong but not a bad scent so I don't mind too much. Just something to consider if you don't like strong scented products or are sensitive to smells. It has a runny consistency for a scrub, with lots of tiny beads that I believe are made out of jojoba wax. You only need a tiny blob of scrub (about the size of a 10c piece) and then you just massage into your face using circular motions. I have combination skin and get dry patches in winter, and I found this helped keep my dry patches at bay as it both exfoliated dead skin off and didn't strip my skin of moisture. My skin felt baby soft afterwards! I use this every 2nd or 3rd night, and after use apply a thick moisturizer so it really soaks into my skin overnight and I wake up with perfect skin ready to apply makeup.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. I think it would suit all skin types nicely, as it leaves your skin baby soft and free of dead/dry skin but not stripped of moisture. Sure, it is a bit pricey, but if you are looking for a good, gentle yet effective facial polishing scrub this might do the trick. You do get a good bit of product for the price and you only need a tiny amount each time anyway.

First of all, this product smells divine! From the moment I opened the lid I fell in love, and it just kept getting better.

The consistency of the gel is thinner than I had anticipated, however that made no difference to the use of the product. Dr Lewinns has created a facial polishing gel that really is gentle on the skin, whilst also being extremely effective in the exfoliation process.

I have often found that exfoliating can be quite harsh in the skin, leaving it sore and red, but that is certainly not the case here. After using this product my skin felt soft, refreshed and smooth.

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.
