The Bottom Line

What a wonderful multi-tasking exfoliating polish. It's like scrubbing your face with satiny sugar that has a built in kick to help repair your skin at the same time. If you use a facial scrub weekly, then this one should be the only one you need.

Guide Review - Review of Offects™ Exfoliating Polish

The best way I can describe the feeling of Dr. Zein Obagi's Offects™ Exfoliating Polish is by thinking back to sitting on the white sugar-sand beach in Florida. The sand on various beaches are so soft it's hard to believe that it's actually sand. The same goes with Offects™ Exfoliating Polish. The natural Magnesium crystals from the Dead Sea, mixed with vitamin E, work hard to polish your skin while feeling like the soft and subtleness of sugar-sand.

To be honest, it's hard for me to get on board with using a face scrub two-three times a week. Let's face it, I have a busy life just like the rest of you and adding another step to my skincare regimen every week doesn't seem like fun to me. However, once I tried Dr. Obagi's Offects™ Exfoliating Polish I was a facial scrub convert. One thing that I hate about other facial scrub was that it was so rough on my sensitive skin. I hated looking like I was sunburned and then slapped in the face after a simple one minute scrubbing session. But with Offects™ Exfoliating Polish I didn't experience any of that. The polish felt very comfortable on my skin, did not hurt or sting, had no offensive perfume, washed away easily, and didn't leave my skin that horrid strawberry red shade.

The bottom line is if you are trying to fight aging and want to actually win the battle, then you may want to begin with Dr. Obagi's Offects™ Exfoliating Polish. Not only will you be fighting those nasty little wrinkles, but you will also be giving yourself a mini spa facial at the same time. Who could ask for more?
