Exfoliators for smoother, brighter, clearer skin

Skin naturally renews itself, but the process slows down with age and can be disrupted by dryness or excess oil, leaving dead cells on the surface. Exfoliating helps remove them, revealing smoother, brighter skin, helping to keep pores clear and allowing your other products to work better. This collection includes facial scrubs, chemical exfoliants, peels, enzyme powders and exfoliating devices.

Physical or chemical exfoliation?

• Physical exfoliants: scrubs with fine particles, cleansing brushes and cloths. They give an instant smooth feeling; choose fine, round particles and use gently.
• AHAs such as glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid work on the surface for brightness and smoother texture.
• BHAs such as salicylic acid are oil-soluble and work inside pores, ideal for oily and blemish-prone skin.
• PHAs and enzymes are the gentlest options for sensitive skin.

How often should you exfoliate?

Two to three times a week suits most skin types. Sensitive skin may only need once a week, while some gentle daily exfoliating toners are designed for regular use. Signs you are overdoing it include stinging, redness, shininess and tightness. Always follow exfoliation with a moisturiser and use sunscreen every day, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive.

Combining exfoliants with other actives

Avoid using strong acids on the same night as retinol, and introduce one new exfoliant at a time. Hydrating and soothing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides and centella pair well after exfoliation.

Frequently asked questions

Should I exfoliate in the morning or evening?

Evening is usually best for chemical exfoliants, as skin can recover overnight. Gentle scrubs can be used in the morning.

Can I exfoliate sensitive skin?

Yes, gently. Choose PHAs, lactic acid or enzyme exfoliants and start once a week.
