GENTLE REFINING FACE SCRUB

The top of the dispenser got stuck and no product could come out. After applying extra pressure to free the top of the dispenser, product came shooting out the back and exploded all over my bathroom. Super depressing a for $45 scrub!

Very gentle. Nice product for sensitive skin like mine

This is a great scrub as it is gentle and adds moisture.

Alchimie Forever is a Swiss cosmetic company founded by father and world-renowned cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Luigi Polla who was the first medical doctor to introduce laser technology to Europe. His expertise in cosmetic treatments using lasers led him to the keen understanding that how a person looks is vitally important to their overall well-being. His earliest formulations were created for post-procedure and at-home care for his patients. These formulations marked the beginning of Alchimie Forever as skincare created to immediately treat sensitized skin and accentuate anti-aging benefits. As such, you know he's got the experience & expertise in skincare lines of products that are best suited to making us look good.As I'm not getting any younger, and not a fan of going under the knife or any injections, so I'm really into skincare topical ingredients and/or products that may help me look younger and turn back the clock a little. WHO doesn't want to look their best after all??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁😁😋😋😋🤔🤔🤔🤔Through Amazon's Vine Voices Program, I came across Dr Luigi Polla's 『Alchimie Forever Gentle Refining Scrub』.Unboxing revealed that it came in this cleanser comes in a tall package, and it contains 50 ml (3 fl oz) squeezable tube. Having grown up in the bilingual city of Montreal, CANADA, I couldn't help but notice the French writings on the front of the packaging, which proves the genuineness of this being made in multilingual nation of Switzerland. I thought the larger than typical description fonts are really thoughtful, as most of us needing some skincare help have been around for a while, and like our skins, our sights ain't how they used to be. Upon removing the bottle out of its packaging, with the predominantly white bottle w/ purple writing, you'd notice that this facial scrub is much heavier than others you might have used before. Dispensing mechanism is your flip over the circular plastic lid & squeeze the body of the tube for desired amounts.PROS====💕👍💖 Quality Ingredients: employing cranberry beads, jojoba pearls, and papaya enzyme, shea butter nourishes, & natural antioxidants derived from lychee and rosemary💖👍💕 Expertise: Specially formulated by skincare expert Dr Luigi Polla from Switzerland💕👍💖 Made in USA💖👍💕 Environmentally Friendly & Socially Responsible: made w/o Parabens, animal byproducts, dyes, phthalates, sulfates, gluten, nuts, soy, mineral oil, propylene glycol, GMO, formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers, animal testingThe VERDICT==========This gentle refining stub is a "thicker" paste like texture that really works into my skins well, it's like a deep Swedish massage that really gets into your pores. In merely using a few days, I could already feel this scrub isn't your ordinary $5 facial scrubs which is so thin & watery in texture, how can it possibly be effective 🙄😣😣 A good facial scrub needs to tread the fine line between gentle enough not to scrape & damage the good skin cells while tough enough to remove the dead ones while doing its exfoliating function (ie, similar to sandpaper actions for your skins). This Alchimie Forever Gentle Refining Scrub really left my skin soft and glowing in only a few days, & you (& those around you) can see a visible difference in your facial complexion with special glows and softness due to the younger looking skins underneath being exposed after exfoliation.Since turning the big 40, I have been very diligent in my daily skincare regiment, and have tried a myriad of facial scrubs; with various degrees of effectiveness. Since using Alchimie Forever products for more than 2-3 weeks, this is very gentle yet effective on my skins. As I have a lot of experience with skincare products, especially facial cleansers, so I am not an easy sell due to my sensitivity to skincare products, this one worked wonders!!!And in closing (in French), c'est un Grommage Peau de Soie EXCELLENT👍👍💕💖💖💕💕💖👍 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED👍💖💕💕💖

I confess I am a bit mystified by the super positive reviews. I am old enough to have "mature" skin, but it's in good shape, due to years of taking care of it, a lifestyle that keeps me out of the sun, and, frankly, lucky DNA (thanks, Mom!). It is normal with a tendency toward slight dryness during cold winters, with no acne, major wrinkling, or other concerns. I have used scrubs for decades. This is definitely not one I will stick with. Why isn't it a favorite? The main problem is that I find the grit far too abrasive. It's not a matter of rubbing too hard, as the grit itself is so rough that a feather-light touch still makes me feel like I've rubbed my face with rocks. Add to this that the base is about as easy to rinse off as cold cream, and you have a product that is not for me, as I strongly prefer products that rinse off cleanly without leaving a greasy feeling behind. Did it make my skin look good? No better than it normally does after using my regular scrub. Your preferences and results may vary, but this one is not for me.

I like this and it works well without causing irritation.

I don't think this is any better, or worse, than the other gazillion exfoliating products on the market. It comes with the usual adjectives and recommendations from people with a lot of initials after their name. I'm not criticizing Alchimie Forever for this because we consumers seem to expect the hype.It does an OK job of removing dry/dead skin tissue and moisturizing but doing that isn't exactly rocket science and, at least for me, it can be done for a lot less money with about the same results.It's OK, but I'm not going to rush out and buy a barrel of this product.

I’ve really gotten into finding cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc. that I really like. Thankfully, or maybe not, I’ve found quite a few I’ve liked. I was offered this one, and I was more than happy to try it. I read the instructions, and I used it on my clean, dry face. Once I was done rinsing if off and drying it, my face felt soft, smooth, and clean. I was actually surprised at how nice my face felt. I am definitely going to use this until gone. I’ll have to evaluate how I feel once it comes time to buy it again only because of the price. If it was cheaper, I’d definitely purchase it. Recommend.
