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.

Salicylic acid / BHA: Salicylic Acid. ACOG says over-the-counter salicylic acid products may be used if needed, but absorption rises with frequent use or large areas; avoid high-strength peels (MotherToBaby/ACOG, Bozzo et al. 2011).
Chemical sunscreen filter with limited pregnancy data: Homosalate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. 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).
