Dull skin and rough texture
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells for smoother, brighter-looking skin. More isn't better: the stronger the product, the less often to use it.
Ingredients that help
- Alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic and lactic acid
- Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid
- Gentler PHAs and fruit enzymes are also widely used
What dermatologists recommend
- For dry or sensitive skin, a mild chemical exfoliant is gentler than a scrub.
- If you use a retinoid or benzoyl peroxide, exfoliating as well can make skin drier and more irritated.
- With a darker skin tone or dark spots, avoid strong exfoliation, which can darken them.
- Moisturize right after, and never exfoliate sunburned or broken skin.

Sunscreen filter banned in the EU (4-MBC): 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor. EU safety scientists found sufficient evidence that 4-methylbenzylidene camphor may disrupt thyroid and estrogen hormones and could not conclude it is safe, and the EU then banned it from cosmetics (SCCS 2022, EU Regulation 2024/996).
Chemical sunscreen filter with limited pregnancy data: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate. Not known to harm a pregnancy but not well studied, and absorbed into the bloodstream in FDA studies; mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) stay on the skin and are a lower-absorption choice (MotherToBaby, Matta et al. 2020).
