Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel Review

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!

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 love exfoliators - does anything make you feel as fresh than giving your skin a good scrub?!

I've always been impressed with Dr Lewinn's products, so I was excited to try this, and wasn't disappointed.

The gel is quite fluid, I found I continually ended up with more product than I needed due to the upside down tube. In the shower it meant quite a bit of wasted product as it just fell through my hands. A smaller opening would have been better perhaps?

Anyhoo, excess product aside, the polishing gel was quite lovely to use. The 'scrubby' bits were small and gentle, but you could feel them working. You can't really over-scrub with this, you can apply a lot of pressure and it doesn't feel too abrasive.

The scent is gorgeous, it's slightly floral, but not overly and it gives me major deja vu, but I can't place it!! Everytime I use it I think 'what is that smell?' and the mystery has yet to be solved!

I found the scrub really brilliant for my oily chin and nose crevices, they were left clean and didn't feel over stripped. Equally my dry cheeks and forehead felt flake-free but not over dry. Winning.

All up, I really, really, really like this scrub, the only reason I've marked it down, is the packaging results in a product loss and mess. Nonetheless this is a great scrub and one i would happily recommend.

As a preface I will say I have sensitive skin. I'm lucky in that I don't suffer acne but there are days when products I put on my skin will just make it cray especially in the winter.

Right now my skin's super dry. (Normally combo through the year) I've been layering oils, serums and literally anything that will help it stay supple.

So when I got the invite for this scrub that clearly stated "Gentle exfloliant" I was jumped at the chance. Anything to slough off those winter scales right? I have a few stubborn dry patches on my face right now that won't seem to shift and I had hopped that maybe a mechanical scrub might be a winner.

The package arrived yesterday and I hadn't washed my face yet so I thought PERFECT i'll give this a go! It smells lovely, a very very calming scent and it squeezes out in a gel texture - it reminded me of the clarins orange scrub which i'm actually a huge fan of but don't currently have sitting in my stores.

Unfortunately that's where my love stops. It felt a little too harsh on my skin almost as though it was scratching it. Now that may have been due to my skin just having an awful time this winter. When I patted my skin dry it felt very very tight and I had to layer on the products. Even after that I still had that horrible tight feeling.

Unfortunately I'll need to pass this on to the Mr who loves a good scrub but its sadly a miss for me. Perhaps when my skin clears up and isn't so dry i'll be able to use it but right now it just isn't the right fit.

5 kisses because it did say what it would do and slough of skin and i'd recommend it to ladies who don't suffer dry skin.

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 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.

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!

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.

This stays in my shower and I use it twice a week. The beads are tiny tiny jojoba wax beads (which means they should break down easily and not impact the environment). The beads feel so fine and gentle on the skin. I have normal to dry skin that sometimes has a tendency to irritate but this exfoliating product doesn't dry out my skin nor does it cause any itchy rashes. It also contains camomile, which is a great soother. It is very runny so I have to be careful how hard I squeeze the tube or else there is unnecessary wastage. Rinses off the face really well leaving it feeling clean without the tightness and no residue is left behind. Not much of a smell and it goes a very long way. I would purchase this again for sure.

I found this product very gentle and light on sensitive skin which was good as that is something that is not always that easy to find and to trust in. The exfoliation was not heavy on the skin and yet it was very refreshing and invigorating and that was good as I knew that it would work very well to cleanse and refresh the skin without stressing it out to much.

I found this product removed all excess oil from the surface and cleared the clogged pores and refreshed and opened them and left my skin with a clean polished effect as it had a nice cleansing toner effect to it. This can be used by both women and men , in particular it is great before shaving for both.

There is a subtle and light fragrance which is just barely there so is not overpowering which is why I say it is ok for both men and women. Also I would recommend using this in the shower to start with so that your skin is used to it with warm water or steamed or use a warm flannel on your face before hand as it helps with the pores in particular.

This item is on the higher pricing range but it is a brand that in particular as a sensitive skin person who struggles to find an item that I can use I would definitely say is one that is worth paying the money for.
