Hey everyone,

Would y'all be so kind and recommend some gentle scrubs that exfoliate the skin well but doesn't strip the skin of its moisture?

I've recently used Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Clear Scrub, and it's really gentle, but doesn't exfoliate well because it only has a few beads it it. I was looking for something with more beads and better exfoliation.

If any of you all could recommend something, it'd be super appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey Adalyn. My sister uses dermalogica daily micofoliant every morning and really likes it. Although I'm pretty sure there are no beads in it but she said it still works pretty well. Also, Dan's AHA (the one I occasionally use) is also a great exfoliator as well (no beads).

Have you tried baking soda ?

Wouldn't having more beads make it less gentle?

@Kaylei: Maybe I'll try that...

@Victor M: I guess I define "gentle" differently from what you do... gentle for me is if it doesn't strip skin of moisture. I'm kind of looking for a gentle scrub with many beads, but tiny beads so it's less irritating, and exfoliates more evenly... but oh well.
