Gentle and Effective.

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.

Tips: I don't take this with me when I travel simply because it' is quite runny that I worry it will leak. A little goes a good long way so be careful when you squeeze the tube that you don't over do it.

Great exfoliation without the scratches

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.

Everyday Fav

I purchased this product for the first time about 3 years ago when I was looking for a gentle exfoliator and i'm pleased to day I have used it every single day since without fail. It has become an integral part of my daily routine and since then I have very few issues with my skin. It is exactly what it says - a gently polishing gel. If you are looking for a deep exfoliant then this product is not for you. The beads are small and it actually feels refreshing when using it. I use it every day as I love the feel of it. Teamed with the Dr Lewinns cleanser - my perfect match for beautiful refreshed clean skin. You only need a small amount so it lasts. I recommend anyone looking for a gentle daily exfoliator to give it a go!

Tips: Small amount daily teamed with a good cleanser in the shower - can't go wrong! Focus on the t zone - nose, forehead and chin.

Club Tropicana Yum

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.

Tips: Use it anywhere you have dry skin

Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel

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.

Tips: Tip: Remember to give the product a light shake as it tends to coagulate on the bottom and go easy on the amount you squeeze out as you can't replace it.

Dr Lewinns Facial polishing gel

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.

Tips: For normal/dry skin use once a week. For combination/oily skin use three to four times a week.

Love Love Love

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.

Tips: The product is quite liquidy so be careful when opening that you don't over do it and end up with a handful of product. A little goes a long way.

Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel - Review

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.

Tips: A little goes a long way, and you can always add more so start with a small amount!

Polished Perfection

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.

Tips: - With my skin type I found using this product every second day was effective. - I found using Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel during my shower routine was the easiest method. It was much easier to make sure all of the exfoliating beads were washed away whilst in the shower. - Due to the thin consistency of the product, it is important to be careful when opening the tube. Open it cap up so as to avoid product waste. Also take care when squeezing onto your hand as more product can come out than intended and needed.
