Lord_Ant_Warrior 0 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Does anybody else feel that the 10% AHA just doesn't cut it as far as exfoliation on it's own? For me it seems to slough that horrible BP-Created skin as it's supposed to alright, but tends to still leave it on the surface making my skin look dry and tired. The problem is that gentle cleansers are just pathetic at getting rid of that sitting sloughed skin. I've just performed Cetaphil's recommended Sugar scrub (very gently of course) and my skin is looking better than it has done in about 3 weeks. I know manual exfoliation is a "forbidden" around here, but surely I'm not the only who who feels it might be a neccescary evil once a week perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tracy521 277 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) the only way i exfoliate is with a glycolic acid toner. i rub the cotton ball all over my face (a few times after washing only in the evening) and it gets rid of all the dead skin. if i really feel the need to do a major exfoliation then i like the vivo per lei facial peeling because it is super gentle and not scrubby at all and the skin feels so nice and smooth afterward. i buy it on ebay though because its too expensive otherwise.

ceedice22 2 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You can try the Alba brand exfoliation. It is a gel that has papaya and pinapple enzymes. It just peels up like elmers glue kind of bonds with your dry skin. U just have to rub very gently in circles. I can't even use the aha much because it burns my skin and irritates it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tracy521 277 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I use the proactiv brand of toner its really good. I am sure other brands make a similar one as well. I get it off ebay its a lot cheaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kck182 4 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I started using an exfoliating wash everyday and I am MUCH happier. I am about 3 months in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
