Best exfoliating???

Hey! Any rec’s on the BEST face exfoliated? For normal medium skin? The kind that really feels like you have new skin??

Re: Best exfoliating???

@BlairMax   I know the feeling you are describing- I love it!  I have three products that I use that give me smooth skin.

Twice a week I use Alpha-H Beauty Sleep Power Peel with 14% Glycolic Acid and 0.5% Retinol .  I'm not good at describing how the various acids work, but this one does.  I received a sample of it a few years ago and I've never looked back.  I use it twice weekly.  It has shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe, grape seed oil, and a bunch of other good ingredients in it to moisturize the skin as it resurfaces the skin.

I also use Biossance Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum 1.01 oz / 30 mL  with Biossance Omega Repair Deep Hydration Moisturizer with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane 1.69 oz / 50 mL  on top of it about three nights weekly, depending upon my skin.

I usually take a couple of nights off of acids and just apply a cream, usually the Biossance Omega Repair Cream and the Biossance Vitamin C Rose Brightening and Firming Face Oil + Squalane 1.01 oz / 30 mL .

I have VERY sensitive skin, and these works fine for me.

@BlairMax I think you would enjoy a chemical exfoliant.  AHA is good for anti-aging and sun-damage.  BHA is good for oily skin, anti-acne/blackheads.

Is your skin sensitive? Also what other brands have you tried? I have combination skin so I always look for an exfoliator that won't break me out as well. For daily use I really love CLINIQUE Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser, its gentle enough that it won't hurt your skin or leave it red but its good for daily use and does leave my face feeling cleaner and smoother. For a weekly treatment when my dry skin is super bad I like using #Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment Mini & Mighty Kit if you dont mind scents its a good kit. I find it kinda smells like pine trees which i don't mind, it isn't called the 2 min Hollywood facial for nothing! I find it works super well but can't be used more then 2 times a week.
