#DrLancer - Looking Passed the Marketing & Dissecting the Ingredients
"A dual-action #exfoliator that improves the look of fine lines, texture, discoloration and pores for a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
The first step in The Lancer Method, this resurfacing treatment targets the first signs of aging to reveal glowing, radiant-looking skin in one use. The advanced formula combines both chemical and physical exfoliants for exceptional results. Pumpkin and pomegranate enzymes gently loosen the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface, resulting in smoother, softer skin. #Magnesium crystals, uniform in size and shape, slough off dulling surface cells, dirt and debris, helping to minimize the look of pores and fine lines while helping improve the appearance of skin texture and tone. Winged kelp, rich in amino acids, #antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, helps hydrate and leaves skin smooth, soft and refreshed. The Method Polish is the first step of The Lancer Method, Dr. Harold Lancer's signature regimen of daily exfoliation, cleansing and nourishing." $75 for 4.2 fl oz

Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. This gentle yet effective exfoliator is a must-have in my opinion. It gets the job done of resurfacing without a harsh cocktail of acids and abrasives like walnut shells [which causes more harm than good]. It has some great anti-aging properties, lots of humectants to retain moisture, and not comprised of mostly water-who wants to pay $75 for 4 oz of water? It Have you tried Dr. Lancer?
