Laura Mercier Face Polish

Going through my favorites on my Sephora Beauty Insider profile, I noticed that I had starred Laura Mercier Face Polish as well as Kate Somerville Exfolikate. Having recently used both of these products, I can now safely eliminate one from my wish list!

People say that first impressions are also the most lasting impressions, and with these two products that is definitely the case. Just price and quantity alone put Laura Mercier Face Polish far ahead of Exfolikate. At $30 for 3.5 ounces at Sephora.com, Laura Mercier Face Polish gives twice the amount of product for less than half the price of Exfolikate ($85 for 1.7 ounces)!

After using Exfolikate, it is obvious it is a high quality product made with some great ingredients such as fruit enzymes, but I am sorry to say that the results are just not worth the high price tag! It did help some of the "time-of-the-month" break-outs I had dry out, but the overall quality of my skin was not improved very drastically. Most importantly, the results of this product only lasted for a few hours. I didn't see any long term benefits that lasted after the immediate usage of the product.

To seal the deal, Laura Mercier Face Polish is the best facial scrub I have ever used, period. My skin has never been so soft! It is called a polish as opposed to a scrub and it really does feel as if I am polishing my skin, making it soft, fresh, and new. Just using this product twice a week I have seen a difference in the clarity and feel of my skin. My skin feels more supple even on days when I don't use it, and many of the tiny scars left by past blemishes have started to fade away. The reasonable price just seals the deal, I dare anyone to find a better exfoliator at a lower price!
