Customisable Exfoliation — Physical + Chemical in One Polish
Transform your skincare routine with Evolve’s Rose Quartz Facial Polish — a luxurious organic face scrub that combines physical exfoliation from naturally rounded Brazilian Quartz particles with gentle chemical exfoliation from Organic Hibiscus Extract. Together with Organic Rosehip Oil, this polish buffs away dead skin cells, unclogs pores, improves the appearance of scarring, and boosts radiance — while nourishing skin at the same time. The unique formula transforms into a delicate pink milk when mixed with water, rinsing away cleanly.

FAQs
What is the difference between this and the Radiant Glow 2-in-1 Mask Scrub?
Both are exfoliating treatments, but they work differently. The Rose Quartz Facial Polish uses naturally rounded Quartz particles for physical exfoliation combined with Hibiscus Extract for gentle chemical exfoliation — it’s designed for regular use (2–3 times per week) as a scrub. The Radiant Glow 2-in-1 Mask Scrub uses upcycled coconut shell particles and kaolin clay, and is designed to be used as a mask first (5 minutes), then activated as a scrub with water. The Polish is better for regular maintenance exfoliation; the Mask Scrub is better for a weekly deep-cleanse and glow treatment.
Are the Quartz particles safe — won’t they scratch my skin?
The Quartz particles used in this polish are naturally rounded through a natural process — they do not have sharp edges that can cause micro-tears, unlike crushed walnut shell or some synthetic scrub particles. They provide effective physical exfoliation without damaging the skin barrier when used as directed.
Is this suitable for acne-prone or congested skin?
Yes — the natural acids in Hibiscus Extract help purify and decongest pores, making this a good option for congested or breakout-prone skin. Use 1–2 times per week and avoid over-exfoliating, which can aggravate active breakouts. If you have active inflamed acne, consult a dermatologist before use.
Why does it turn pink when I add water?
The pink colour comes from the natural pigments in the Rosehip Oil and Hibiscus Extract — both have naturally warm, pink-red tones. No artificial colours are used. The transformation into a pink milk is a natural result of the formula’s sugar ester emulsifiers activating with water.
Can I use this if I’m also using a retinol serum?
Use with caution if you are using a prescription retinoid or high-strength retinol serum, as combining multiple exfoliating actives can increase sensitivity. If using a gentle retinol serum, apply the Polish on alternate days rather than the same day. The Hibiscus Extract in this product provides mild chemical exfoliation, so avoid using it on the same day as AHA/BHA toners or peels.
How long will a 60ml tube last?
With use 2–3 times per week, a 60ml tube typically lasts 6–8 weeks. Check the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the packaging for the recommended use-by period once opened.
