gentle exfoliators for every skin type ✍️😌

chemical exfoliators are one of the hardest or scariest for a beginner to include into a skincare routine (apart from retinol), so here’s a short guide for those of you who want to dive into exfoliation 🌷

FOR DULLER, TEXTURED SKIN —

Dermologica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator

Price: $24 for 13g | $103 for 74g

Key ingredients: Oat, Coconut, AHA, BHA & Papain Extract (from Papaya)

Thoughts: i found that this powder foams up into a creamy lather and i love that it contains oat, which is amazing for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties! after using this during my cleansing step, my skin is REALLY so much smoother and brighter. my skin has never felt so smooth prior to using this milkfoliant, so if i’d highly recommend to try this out if you have dull and textured skin! the trial size is pretty worth it in my opinion ✨

FOR CONGESTED PORES —

Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliator

Price: $18 for 30ml | $48 for 118ml

Note: (Click on the link: Shopee has flash sale till 10pm today!)

Key ingredients: BHA, green tea

Thoughts: this liquid exfoliator was one of the first few chemical exfoliators i’ve tried, and i’ve been using this once a week for 2 years now. it’s pretty gentle on my skin, and i love using it to purge my skin especially during the hormonal period of the month, to speed up the removal of gunk in my acne. it does somehow make your skin softer as well, so i’d recommend this for those of you with congested pores and blackheads!

FOR REAL BEGINNERS —

SOMEBYMI AHA BHA PHA Miracle Toner

Price: $7 for 30ml | $15.50 for 150ml | $27 for 2x 150ml

Key ingredients: AHA, BHA, PHA, Tea Tree Leaf Water

Thoughts: formulated for sensitive skin, i highly recommend this to beginners to exfoliating, and even teenagers! this is so gentle, doesn’t sting the skin at all as the % of the acids are lower, but still effective in gently exfoliating the skin. for the price point, it’s probably the easiest to try out exfoliating!

hope this list was useful for you guys to start on your chemical exfoliating journey 🪴
