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)
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
