Face scrubs and peels remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and restore smoothness and radiance to the skin. Regular but gentle exfoliation helps creams and serums absorb better. In this category, you will find mechanical and enzymatic exfoliants as well as acid peels – for every skin type.
How to choose a face exfoliator?
An exfoliator is chosen based on skin sensitivity and needs. More intensive exfoliation is suitable for oily skin, while gentle enzymatic options are for sensitive skin. Main types:
- Mechanical exfoliators: tiny particles exfoliate the skin's surface.
- Enzymatic exfoliators: gentle, suitable for sensitive skin without scrubbing.
- Acid peels: AHA/BHA acids smooth skin texture and enhance radiance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I exfoliate my face?
Exfoliating the face 1-2 times a week is usually sufficient. Less frequently for sensitive skin, more often for oily skin, but avoid over-exfoliation.
What is the difference between an enzymatic exfoliator and a mechanical one?
A mechanical exfoliator exfoliates the skin with tiny particles, while an enzymatic one gently dissolves dead cells without scrubbing – making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Can I exfoliate skin with pimples?
If there are active inflammations, avoid intensive mechanical exfoliation – choose gentle products and do not rub the inflammations to prevent spreading.
