Frequently Asked Questions

The Method: Polish (Oily)

The opposite is true when done correctly. The Method: Polish (Oily) is specifically formulated to decongest pores and remove the dead skin cell buildup that traps oil and leads to breakouts. The micro-injury action also signals your skin to regulate sebum production more efficiently over time.

The Oily formula contains additional ingredients targeting excess sebum and congestion, including deeper pore-clearing agents, while still using the same controlled micro-injury technology that triggers cellular renewal. It is specifically calibrated for skin that overproduces oil or has visible congestion and enlarged pores.

We recommend consulting your dermatologist before adding any new exfoliant if you are on prescription actives like tretinoin, isotretinoin (Accutane), or topical antibiotics. That said, many patients use The Method alongside professional guidance. Do not use on actively broken, irritated, or inflamed skin.

Pore size is largely genetic, but consistent use of the Polish helps them appear smaller and less visible by keeping them clear of debris, dead cells, and excess sebum. Most people notice a visible difference in pore appearance within 2-4 weeks of daily use.

Yes—apply all over the face, spending a little extra time massaging into your T-zone where congestion tends to concentrate. Use gentle circular motions and avoid any areas with active open lesions or broken skin.

Step directly into the Lancer Cleanse after the Polish. The Cleanse is formulated to complete and balance the process started by the Polish. Using a separate toner in between can disrupt the pH balance and the intended micro-renewal cycle. After Cleansing, apply your serum and then moisturizer.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this facial polish leaves their skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Many reviews mention the gentle yet effective exfoliation and a pleasant eucalyptus-mint scent. The fine-grain texture works well for daily use, with users noting clearer, brighter-looking skin. While most find it suitable for regular use, some prefer a slightly stronger grain texture. Common feedback includes improved skin texture and reduced appearance of pores. Users particularly appreciate how it helps prepare skin for other products.

    Lancer is my all time facorite skincare. I swear by The Method. I use the oily & congested polish and cleanse & then the nourish from the sensitive/dehydrated line and it’s a perfect combo for my skin. I’m always told I look 10-12 years younger than I am and I owe it to Lancer.
