Surgeon’s Notes

“As we age, cell turnover slows down, which makes skin feel rougher, look duller, and creates a barrier that prevents skincare products from working at their full potential. Polish is an at-home resurfacing treatment that removes those dry, dead skin cells and effectively boosts your Trifecta results.”

    Great Exfoliator!

    Both I and my teenage son use Polish to exfoliate our faces. This is a great at home product that doesn't cause any irritation. No scrubbing, just fingers applying product to face, wait 3-5 minutes and rinse off. My skin feels silky smooth as a result. Everyone should add this product to their face care routine.

All FAQs
What is KaramMD Polish?

KaramMD Polish is a water-activated exfoliating powder that combines fruit enzymes with fine powders to help remove dead surface skin cells. It is designed to improve the appearance of roughness and dullness and is an optional addition to the daily Trifecta routine.

Why exfoliate aging skin?

Exfoliation helps remove accumulated dead surface cells that can make skin look dull or feel rough. Frequency should depend on your skin’s tolerance and other treatments. Polish is an optional step; daily exfoliation is not necessary for every routine.

How is Polish different from a traditional face scrub?

Polish combines papain and bromelain enzymes with fine powders that provide a gentle buffing action. It therefore has both enzymatic and physical exfoliating components. Add water as directed and massage lightly; vigorous scrubbing is unnecessary.

How often should I use Polish?

KaramMD’s directions recommend Polish two to three times per week. If you are new to exfoliation or have sensitive skin, start less often and increase only if comfortable. Reduce frequency or stop if dryness, stinging, or redness develops.

Can I use Polish with retinol or Trifecta?

Polish is designed to complement Trifecta, which includes retinol-containing Illuminate. Because combining exfoliation and retinol can increase irritation, begin conservatively and adjust to your skin’s response. If you use a prescription retinoid, ask your dermatologist how to schedule exfoliation.

Is Polish suitable for sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin may react to exfoliation, including enzymes or fine powders. Review the ingredient list and begin less frequently than the standard directions. Avoid irritated or broken skin. Ask a dermatologist before exfoliating if you have a diagnosed skin condition or frequent reactions.

How do I use Polish?

After cleansing, dispense five to six shakes of powder into your palm and add a few drops of water. Gently massage onto your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for three to five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Follow the current product label and use less frequently if needed.

Where does Polish fit in the Trifecta routine?

Use Polish after Rinse and before Quench and Illuminate on the days you exfoliate. It is an optional addition, rather than a fourth daily requirement. Finish your morning routine with sunscreen, and adjust exfoliation frequency to your skin’s tolerance.
