A face exfoliator removes dead cells from the skin's surface for a smoother feel and a more even look. This range covers acid peels, peeling pads, scrubs, clay masks, exfoliating cleansers and toners from L'Oréal Paris, Floslek, Pharmaceris, Natura Siberica, Hepta and SKIN1004, for normal, oily, blemish-prone and dull-looking skin.

Types of exfoliators

  • Acid peels – leave-on night care with acids, such as the Floslek Dermo Expert peels
  • Peeling pads – pre-soaked pads that are easy to dose, such as Natura Siberica Wild Blueberry
  • Scrubs and polishes – fine particles for manual exfoliation, such as Eucerin DermoPurifyer Scrub and QV Face Exfoliating Polish
  • Clay masks – L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay masks with eucalyptus, charcoal, yuzu lemon, blue algae or red algae
  • Exfoliating cleansers and toners – ISIS Pharma Urelia gel, SKIN1004 Poremizing Clear Toner and Pharmaceris toners
  • Urea creams – Hepta Panthenol Plus 10% carbamide for rough, dry areas

How to exfoliate safely

Start once or twice a week and increase only if your skin stays comfortable. Use one exfoliating step per routine rather than layering a scrub, an acid and a toner on the same night. Skip irritated, sunburnt or broken skin, patch-test new acids, and follow with a moisturiser. Acids such as AHAs can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so use SPF 30 or higher every morning. If you use prescription skincare, ask a pharmacist before adding an exfoliator.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I exfoliate my face?

Most skin types do well with one to three times a week. Sensitive skin may need less; follow the directions on each product.

Chemical or physical exfoliation: which is gentler?

Physical scrubs work by friction, while acid peels and pads dissolve dead cells. Low-strength acids are often gentler than rough scrubs, but tolerance varies, so patch-test.

Can I use an exfoliator if my skin is sensitive?

Choose a mild option such as a clay mask or a gentle polish, use it less often, and stop if you notice stinging or redness.

Can I combine an exfoliator with retinol or vitamin C?

Use them on different nights at first to limit irritation, and keep up daily sunscreen.
