FAQS
Is IMAGE Skincare ORMEDIC Balancing Gel Polisher gentle enough for sensitive skin? +

That is the point of it. Instead of one strong exfoliant it uses three mild ones - a natural AHA from caviar lime, pomegranate fruit enzymes and fine olive seed powder - so each works at a comfortable level. It sits in ORMEDIC, IMAGE Skincare's gentlest range, with organic aloe vera and grape water to soothe as you polish. Build up gradually and patch test first if you are very reactive.

Can I really use ORMEDIC Balancing Gel Polisher every day? +

IMAGE Skincare directs it as a daily polish, and the clinical study used it that way. Becci's advice is to start two or three times a week and increase as your skin allows; if you also use retinol or acids, keep exfoliation to one step per routine.

Is it a physical or a chemical exfoliant? +

Both, plus an enzyme. Caviar lime supplies a natural alpha hydroxy acid, pomegranate provides a fruit enzyme and olive seed powder with cellulose spheres gives a very fine physical polish. The combination is why it feels so much gentler than a traditional scrub while still giving measurable smoothing.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare ORMEDIC Balancing Gel Polisher with retinol? +

Yes, but not in the same routine. Use the polisher in the morning or on nights you are not applying retinol, and never follow it immediately with a strong acid or a peel. If your skin feels at all tight, drop back to two or three uses a week.

What did the clinical study show? +

In IMAGE Skincare's four-week clinical study and consumer panel of 30 women, skin smoothness improved by 23% and brightness by 13%. On the panel, 100% reported that skin felt soft, 90% agreed it encouraged a brighter, more even-looking complexion, 90% agreed skin looked radiant and 87% reported skin was more polished.

Can I mix it with the ORMEDIC cleanser? +

Yes - mixing a little polisher into ORMEDIC Balancing Facial Cleanser in your palm turns your morning wash into a one-step gentle exfoliating cleanse. It is a quick way to get the benefit on busy days.

Does it contain plastic microbeads or nut shells? +

No. The physical exfoliants are olive seed powder, cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose spheres, with kaolin and silica for slip - no polyethylene beads and no crushed nut shells.

Should I use it morning or evening? +

Either. Many people like it in the morning for an instant glow under make-up; if you use strong actives at night, the morning keeps the two apart. Whenever you use it, finish with sunscreen by day.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare ORMEDIC Balancing Gel Polisher during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

It contains no vitamin A, and the exfoliating acid is a mild, naturally derived AHA in a rinse-off gel, so it is generally considered suitable. IMAGE Skincare asks customers to consult their doctor before using its products while pregnant or breastfeeding, so check with your midwife or GP.
