What is the best exfoliator for delicate skin?

ECBG — Sun, 14 Dec 2014 22:22:06 GMT

I need some exfoliation for clogged pores and have delicate skin. I used Clarisonic sensitive when it first came out and it took the skin off in patches! I need something that isn't a brush. You gals know pretty much everything! Please share your thoughts! Thanks!

I like Dr. Denese's Facial Firming Pads. My skin is pretty delicate too. I cut them in half, (an idea I got from this board) and use a half pad all over my face, about 5 nights a week. I really like them for exfoliation.

My mature skin is sensitive, and I use PTR's Unwrinkle Pads every morning.

Foreno Luna, much gentler than a Clarasoinc, I have the real one there is a thread about the dupes on here somewhere.

I have very very delicate skin and it does not irritate me at all

I use Paula's Choice BHA lotion. I have sensitive skin and like this a lot.

I totally second that NickNack! I had a Clarasonic for years and realized it was what was causing some broken capillaries on my face. Stopped it and no more appeared. I started using Paula's Choice 2% BHA Lotion (not liquid...it was to strong for my sensitive skin) about a year ago and I just love it. Gentle exfoliation every day without using granules that are too rough or liquids that might burn. It also has no essential oils in it to cause irritation. I just went to the derm for my yearly check and he commented on the skin on my face....said it looked ""really really good""! I am 67 and I don't ever want to be without it! I also use the PC light moisturizer with spf and love it too. Her tinted moisturizer is wonderful for a light coverage. It is all I use in the summer. I think she makes amazing products at a reasonable price.

I 3rd Paula's Choice BHA. I also use AHA. I'm done manually exfoliating. This is chemical exfoliation.

Those are great. I have not used them in years but I remember how wonderful they were. Are they still the same formula?

Look up reviews for Cure Natural Aqua Gel. I love it when my face can't handle roll-up-the-sleeves exfoliation.

Thanks everyone for the guidance! I had never known of Paula's Choice! Looks like the perfect choice!

Have a blessed Christmas!

I'd second the Dr. D pads. I have Rosacea and I've been very happy with these. I really pay attention to what my skin needs, and I don't use these every night, necessarily. But probably every other.

Also, Aveeno makes a gentle scrub.

Isomers has a liquid exfoliator with both AHA and BHAs, I think it comes in a bonus size right now.
