Good Points
Leaves skin totally cleansed, hydrated and soft at the same time(and it stayed that way for the following 2 days). It can be used anywhere as it needs no water and you can use a toner to wipe it off afterwards. Divine rosy, distinctive Hydramax scent.
Bad Points
Pricey but it is definitely the best exfoliator for dry skin I have ever dried. So if you have any dry area (e.g. around the nose) that has been annoying you for so long, this is a worthy investment.
General Comments
Chanel Hydramax Gentle Polishing Gel isn't a conventional exfoliator. It has small, un-abrasive beads that break to release moisture as soon as you massage it in. The aromatherapy-scent like scent would make you feel totally relaxed by now. It is so simple to use and only requires massaging for one minute. I was pleasantly surprised when I realised that all my stubborn dry area have been smoothed and softened, the flakes were gone! Together with Hydramax cream-gel mask, it was a spa-like experience that made a huge difference to my skin. Just in case you have oily/combination skin, they do not make T-zone oily. Instead mine T-zone just feel smooth and the water-oil balance is just right. It is not just an instantaneous effect, my skin stayed that way for the following 2 days, perfect!

So disappointed that this product has been discontinued. As I have Rosacea I have to be very careful what I use on my skin and this was perfect, gentle and effective! Can anyone recommend a replacement?
