Clean & active formula
Australian made
A unique triple-action formula with AHA fruit acids to dissolve surface build-up that makes skin appear dull and lacklustre, kaolin clay to draw out impurities and excess oil, and jojoba beads to refine and smooth your skin without harshness.
Our gentle Refining Face Polish is an ideal facial polish for most skin types, carefully formulated with gentle natural ingredients to brighten, clear and refine the skin - all without stripping away natural oils, disrupting pH balance or causing irritation, even on sensitive skin.
A synergistic blend of high-performing Australian botanicals is harnessed and preserved in their purest form - within the cell matrix - to deliver stable, nutrient-rich actives directly to your skin.
By smoothing and brightening the skin, our Refining Face Polish provides an even ‘canvas’ for makeup application - which will look more natural and luminous - as well as helping your daily skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
What is a polish? Does it replace my exfoliator?
Polish = exfoliator. The Refining Face Polish is a triple action formula, so it will gently dissolve surface build-up, remove excess dirt and oil, and exfoliate.
I’m scared to use an exfoliant on my skin because my skin has reacted in the past!
Unfortunately, not all face exfoliants are created with sensitivity in mind. Thankfully, we ensured to formulate one that would be suitable for sensitive skin… In fact, we have many women with perioral dermatitis, rosacea and sensitive skin fall in love with our Refining Face Polish, because it exfoliates while maintaining the skin’s natural pH levels and it’s super gentle.
Is this product safe when pregnant & breastfeeding?
Yes! In fact, our entire range is loved by pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, if you do have any concerns, we suggest consulting further with your medical professional as every individual is unique.
When do I apply my Refining Face Polish?
We recommend applying Refining Face Polish 1-2 times per week (AM or PM). Visit our layering guide to see when, how often and which order to apply your product/s.
