Exfoliators at SkinFind - scrubs, acids and enzyme treatments that unclog pores, smooth texture, fade pigmentation and reveal brighter, clearer skin.
How to choose the right exfoliator
Exfoliators come in different forms — from gentle enzyme powders to chemical formulas with AHAs or BHAs. The right choice depends on your skin type and goals: smoother texture, brighter tone, or clearer pores.
Why exfoliation transforms skin
Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells that dull the complexion and block absorption. With the barrier refreshed, serums and moisturisers penetrate deeper, making your routine more effective.
What makes a SkinFind-approved exfoliator
We only select exfoliators with proven clinical results — pH-balanced acids, dermatologist-tested scrubs, and next-gen actives like polyhydroxy acids. Every formula is curated for results without irritation.
Choosing exfoliators by skin concern
• Acne-prone: BHAs like salicylic unclog pores.
• Pigmentation: AHAs like glycolic fade sun damage.
• Sensitive: Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) resurface gently.
• Dullness: Enzyme-based powders brighten instantly.
FAQs
How often should I exfoliate?
Most skin types benefit from 2–3 times per week. Over‑exfoliation can weaken the barrier, so listen to your skin and scale back if redness or sensitivity occurs.
What’s the difference between AHAs and BHAs?
AHAs (like glycolic or lactic) resurface the surface layer, brightening and smoothing. BHAs (like salicylic) penetrate into pores, making them ideal for acne and congestion.
Can I exfoliate if I have sensitive skin?
Yes — choose gentler options like PHAs or enzyme‑based exfoliators. Avoid harsh scrubs or high‑strength acids, and always follow with hydration.
Should I exfoliate in the morning or evening?
Evenings are best, as exfoliation can leave skin more photosensitive. Always pair with daily SPF to protect renewed skin.
