I've been getting some flesh-coloured tiny bumps along the side of my face, which are VERY annoying. In good lighting you can't really see them, but in daylight or if light is shining on that side, then they are very obvious.

I wanted to get something to exfoliate my face and get rid of those bumps. I've been using the Sanctuary Warming Microbrasion Polish which is amazing to get smooth soft skin, but it doesn't really do anything for bumps.

Does anyone have any good products that they can recommend?

Thanks!

I want to know the exact same thing:)

Have you tried any AHA lotions or BHA (salicylic acid)? You're exfoliating, which is most likely getting rid of the cause of the bumps (build up of dead skin cells causing congested skin) and probably preventing new bumps, but it doesn't do much for the bumps that already exist; you need to treat the existing bumps.. either with AHA, BHA, benzoyl peroxide, etc.

I'm using Paula's Choice Clear Toner that has 2% BHA in it, which has stopped new spots from forming in the past few weeks (yay) but again doesn't seem to be doing much to those stubborn bumps!

It seems like now my biggish spots have kinda declined, but I'm left with lots of tiny ones - I don't know what's more annoying!

A great exfoliator in my eyes would be the Neutrogena Stress- Free Scrub, it's green and has the mircobeads as well as MircoClear in it. I had a stubborn flesh colored bump in the side of my face for over a month, never got bigger, never got smaller and as soon as I started using that it disappeared. The beads will help get all the oil and dead skin cells off and the 2% Salicylic Acid will help combat acne.
