Love KD’s Essential Exfoliating Gel. Such a beautiful product, calm and gentle on my sensitive skin, but effective in removing dead skin cells leaving my skin silky smooth! Such an easy part of my weekly routine, gently working the gel in until it becomes a liquid. Thank you KD

The best exfoliator I have ever used! Leaves my sensitive skin feeling clear, soft and smooth with a glow like no other. This is my once a week treat which I will never give up.. the transformation is incredible..

A very lovely, gentle exfoliator, no harsh scrub beads which leave your face red and sore, this just does the job and leaves your skin smooth and soft

It's lightweight beautiful
Helen5/5Verified
I always use the exfoliating gel before applying my face mask. It is perfect for sensitive skin as it is non abrasive and very gentle on the skin. It definitely helps to make the masks work to their full effect.
Helen5/5Verified
Best exfoliate i have ever used☺️
Paula5/5Verified
I've used this for years. The best exfoliator ever. It goes on like a jelly and turns into this beautiful soft silkly oil. No need to scrub, nothing harsh. Simply wash off, always leaves my skin feeling super clean, the dry flaky dullness gone. Just love it
Nina5/5Verified
Beautiful products will be back for more
Helen5/5Verified
I used to think that exfoliation was all about abrasive granules scrubbing away dead cells. That was before I used the Essential Exfoliating Gel. I just love the action of this Gel, transforming my skin into a glow that gets noticed by my daughter, on my first try. My skin feels soft and clean, and glowing!
Paula5/5Verified
I had to revisit this review as every time I use this I can’t believe how absolutely amazing it is.. definitely my favourite KD product.. and I have used most of them over the years. It really does do everything it says and more, in a completely gentle and non abrasive way and leaves you with a total ‘new skin’ effect which lasts into the next day. I love it!
Avril5/5Verified
A great product, leaves my skin feeling super soft.
Elaine5/5Verified
I love this exfoliating cream. It is so silky and feels lovely when you massage into your face. It is not harsh but leaves your face feeling so clean and refreshed!!
Siouxsie5/5Verified
I bought this some weeks ago from my beautician. It is really effective and easy to use. However, I have to keep it in the airing cupboard as I find it difficult to squeeze from the tube. Always a solution!
Trina4/5Verified
The best exfoliator i have ever used! My skin feels so soft afterwards.
Gemma5/5Verified
Amazing. I use this once a week. Keeps my skin so hydrated and make sure I’m getting the best out of other products. Skin feels so soft after using! Only need a pea size amount so lasts forever too
Kelsey5/5Verified
I've used this for years and it's the best exfoliator I've ever used. It's a thick gel, stays on and only 5 minutes later, it's turned into a more solid oil, wash off and it leaves my skin feeling soft, looking brighter. Love it
Nina5/5Verified
I absolutely love this product. I have tried other exfoliators but this is by far my favourite. Despite being very gentle on the skin it does a brilliant job at removing dead skin, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth with a healthy glow.
Helen5/5Verified
This is my absolute favourite KD product and I can’t praise it highly enough. I’m on my third tube (fourth if you count the mini tube I bought for travel) and it’s rare for me to be so impressed with skincare products that I continually purchase. This makes my skin glow after use. It’s not harsh or abrasive and doesn’t burn or sting like some other similar exfoliation products I’ve used in the past. Plus it smells divine. Please never discontinue this.
Karen5/5Verified
So easy to use , gentle on the skin but totally effective. Keeps my skin clear, glowing and ready for nourishment.
Elisabeth5/5Verified
A lovely gentle product that can be used daily, if desired. Leaves your skin clean and fresh.
Charlotte5/5Verified
My skin looks younger, more glowy and fresher. The texture of the product is lovely and silky; glides over skin evenly.

You only need a small amount; I found a little goes a long way - the product comes out as a gel and as you massage gently into the skin it melts into a silky oil. I felt that my skin was really smooth. I can have a dry and spot-prone chin but this cleaned it really well, helping with both dryness and oiliness. My skin tone looked more even after using this (I normally tend to have a slightly redder chin).
Beauty Bible Awards Judge5/5Verified
Really liked this. Exfoliators often leave my face red and sore, but this one didn’t – gentle yet effective. Made a visible difference to texture, and therefore make-up application was smoother!
Beauty Bible Awards Judge5/5Verified
Love this exfoliant, no harsh beads scrubbing at your skin, a lovely oily consistency that leaves your skin feeling Radiant and smooth
Lauren5/5Verified
Will never use a granule exfoliator again, this less my skin feeling smooth and fresh, a must have
Kayla5/5Verified
Love it! I use it with the Exfoliating discs and it works brilliantly!
Gemma5/5Verified
Nice and gentle!
Doesn't hurt my skin
Heather5/5
THE BEST!
I was sceptical because there were no 'bits ' in the product. But I have to say this is the best exfoliator I've used. It does the best job without scratching and irritating my skin.

Gentle on the skin, the best I've tried
Karen4/5Verified
GREAT PRODUCT
Have been using the Exfoliating Gel everyday for a week, it makes my skin feel so fresh! Love how it turns into an oil once applied. I use with the rejuvenating system/micro cloths and I can't fault the results! Will continue to buy this product.
Jane5/5Verified
AMAZING
One of the best exfoliaters i have used.. it is non abrasive which is perfect for my sensitive skin and it leaves my skin so soft
Georgina5/5Verified
Beautiful
I love this clever exfoliator! It is so kind to my sensitive skin and leaves it looking really bright and radiant. My skin is so soft afterwards and ready to absorb the beautiful benefits of the Katherine Daniels moisturiser. Easy to use, smells lovely and kind to the environment with no micro beads! A must-have product for everyone.
