Why Exfoliate

Exfoliating removes dead cell buildup that causes roughness, dullness, clogged pores and uneven texture, revealing smoother, brighter, fresher skin and helping other products absorb better.

Chemical vs Physical

Chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA) dissolve dead cells gently and evenly, while physical scrubs manually buff. Chemical exfoliation is usually gentler and more effective for most skin.

How to Use Safely

Start an AHA or BHA 2–3 times a week at night, follow with a moisturizer, avoid over-exfoliating, and always use SPF — exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I exfoliate?

Start 2–3 times a week and adjust based on your skin. Gentle acids like PHA can be used more often, while stronger AHA/BHA should be introduced gradually to avoid irritation.

What's the difference between AHA, BHA and PHA?

AHA exfoliates the surface for texture and dullness, BHA works inside pores for oily, acne-prone skin, and PHA is the gentlest, ideal for sensitive skin. LHA is a mild BHA relative.

Is chemical or physical exfoliation better?

Chemical exfoliation (acids) is usually gentler and more even than physical scrubs, which can cause micro-tears if too harsh. For most skin types, chemical exfoliants are recommended.

Can I over-exfoliate?

Yes. Over-exfoliating can damage the barrier, causing redness, sensitivity and breakouts. Stick to a few times a week, listen to your skin, and keep it hydrated and protected.

Do I need sunscreen when exfoliating?

Yes. Exfoliating acids increase sun sensitivity, so daily sunscreen is essential to protect freshly exfoliated skin and maintain smooth, even results.
