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.
