Weekly exfoliating treatment

Hi! I love using a weekly chemical peel or exfoliating treatment to really get rid of dead skin and help with texture and acne hyperpigmentation. I previously used first aid beautyโ€™s intensive peel but they changed the formula and it breaks me out. Can someone recommend another one for me please? Preferably a mask or something because serums tend to break me out. I also have dry skin. I appreciate any help!

I know you asked for a mask, but these are life changing: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Betaยฎ Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads 30 Treatments + 5 Bonus

They contain several different acids and a neutralizer. The whole process takes less then 4 mins. Each peel is individually wrapped and pre-moistened. Part 1 you rub along the skin for 1 min or until the pad is dry. Part 2 you rub along the skin for 1 min or until the pad is dry. And you are done.

I second @GG84's recommendation. I like to use the Dr. Dennis Gross pads 1-3 times a week. They are easy to use and great for travel.

  1. Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacialโ„ข AHA + BHA Mask 1.69 oz/ 50 mL
    1. chemical exfoliator - this is good one to use 2 times a week
  2. KATE SOMERVILLE - ExfoliKateยฎ Intensive Pore Exfoliating Treatment
    1. physical and chemical exfoliator - good, but it stings quite a bit; would recommend patch testing before putting it all over your face because some people don't tolerate it very well
  3. PHILOSOPHY - Purity Made Simple Pore Extractor Mask
    1. physical and chemical exfoliator - this only contains BHA (no AHA), but it's a really good exfoliator to use if pores/blackheads are an issue
  4. Peter Thomas Roth FIRMxโ„ข Exfoliating Peel Gel 3.4 oz/ 100 mL
    1. enzymatic peel - really really gentle 
  5. SUMMER FRIDAYS - Overtime Mask
    1. physical exfoliator - good scrub, smells great
  6. DR. BRANDT SKINCARE - microdermabrasion age defying exfoliator
    1. physical exfoliator - this is really good, smooths the skin really well and creates tiny abrasions so that your skin can immediately drink up your serums after

Re: Weekly exfoliating treatment

The Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacialโ„ข AHA + BHA Mask 1.69 oz/ 50 mL is my favorite. It seems pricey but one jar lasts a year doing weekly treatments. The staff at my local Sephora made a sample to try before purchasing ๐Ÿ™‚

RE: Weekly exfoliating treatment

Iโ€™ve been using the Summer Fridayโ€™s Overtime Mask. I typically use it once per week. I also have quite sensitive acne prone skin and it hasnโ€™t caused me any breakouts! Itโ€™s a higher price point but you get many uses out of it.

RE: Weekly exfoliating treatment

Have you tried The Ordinaryโ€™s AHA/BHA peeling solution? It goes on like a serum, you leave it on for up to 10 minutes and then remove with warm water. I liked it better than drunk elephants baby facial-didnโ€™t feel like that one really did anything. But The Ordinaryโ€™s peeling solution works really well and itโ€™s only like $10! I use it 1-2 times a week & love it.

RE: Weekly exfoliating treatment

I have tried it and it unfortunately broke me out ๐Ÿ˜ž thank you for your suggestion though
