Exfoliating Polish — Reddit Reviews
by ZO
Updated November 10, 2026
Physical polish for baby-smooth texture and flake removal; pricey.
What the community says
A physical polishing scrub used a few times weekly to lift flakes, smooth texture, and help prevent ingrown hairs. It suits tretinoin users chasing flaky skin, but rosacea-prone or barrier-damaged skin may find this level of exfoliation too harsh.
