Description
Mild micro-exfoliant with quartz for sensitive skin
A dull skin with a thickened stratum corneum or excess sebum calls for exfoliation, but many scrubs and chemical peels are too harsh for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. The result is irritation instead of refinement, causing exfoliation to be avoided.
The Sensilis Prep4+ Polish is a melting mousse with quartz microcrystals that gently renews the skin mechanically — a mild form of microdermabrasion. Two particle sizes work together to remove dead skin cells and impurities and refine texture, while shea butter and licorice extract protect and soothe the skin barrier. After the first application, the skin feels smoother and looks more radiant, without any tight or irritated feeling.
Benefits
- Refines skin texture with 82% more smoothness in 7 days
- Reduces excess sebum by 70% within 30 minutes
- Protects the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss (TEWL) by 16%
- Provides immediate smoothness and radiance thanks to a vitamin C derivative
- Suitable for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate chemical exfoliants
Active ingredients
Quartz microcrystals (5%): Fine mineral particles that loosen dead skin cells and impurities from the pores. They provide a deep but controlled exfoliation that refines the stratum corneum without damaging the barrier.
Cellulose microfibers (10%): Soft fibers that work together with quartz crystals to polish and even out the skin. They make the surface visibly smoother and more uniform.
Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): A rich plant-based butter that strengthens the skin barrier and nourishes the skin during exfoliation. This keeps the skin comfortable and protected, even for sensitive skin.
Licorice extract (Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate): A plant-based ingredient with calming and anti-inflammatory properties that counteracts redness and irritation during mechanical exfoliation.
Papaya and avocado oil: Nourish the skin with essential fatty acids and provide a soothing effect. They keep the skin supple and comfortable after exfoliating.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this micro-exfoliant if I have rosacea?
Yes. The mousse is specifically developed for those who want to renew the skin mechanically without chemical exfoliants, including skin prone to rosacea. Shea butter and licorice extract protect and soothe during exfoliation. The product is not recommended for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How often can I use the Prep4+ Polish?
Use the exfoliant 1 to 3 times a week, in the morning or evening. Because the exfoliation is mild and mechanical, it is suitable for regular use without overburdening the skin.
What is the difference between mechanical and chemical exfoliation?
Mechanical exfoliation works with physical particles, such as the quartz crystals in this product, which rub away dead skin cells. Chemical exfoliation uses acids that dissolve the cells. This mousse is a good choice for those who do not tolerate acids well.
