Learn the difference between common exfoliant formats and why a measured approach matters.
Exfoliating products vary widely, from gentle wash-off formulas to leave-on treatments. Read directions before use and avoid assuming that more frequent application will produce better results.
Introduce only one exfoliating product at a time, and keep the rest of your routine simple while you see how your skin responds. Avoid applying it to irritated or broken skin unless a professional has advised you otherwise.
If your skin becomes uncomfortable, pause the product. A gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen can be a sensible baseline while you reassess.
