Polish Away

I was lucky enough to get Chanel exofliating gel as a gift so I didn't need to shell out the cash for it. With Chanel you expect pretty good stuff, in this case well........



PRODUCT NAME: Gommage Microperle Eclat Maximum Radiance Exfoliating Gel

PRODUCT CLAIM: This is supposed to bring out the skin's "natural luminosity" with its pearl powders and jojoba microbeads.

THE EXPERIENCE: The gel is fairly thick as you would expect but I didn't feel like I was cleansing my face as much as massaging it with a grainy oily cream. After rinsing I was left with a film on the skin that is of course meant to hydrate, which is fine, but it didn't feel like I had done any unveiling of "natural luminosity". I ended up washing with some soap to get rid of the greasy film.

THE VERDICT: For the price I would rather go for a different product. If you tend to suffer from dry skin and find most exfoliators drying then perhaps this is a better choice. As for normal to oily skin types don't bother.
