Exfolliant

I am currently using Principal Secret Exfolliant once a week. I LOVE this product, but it's getting pricey, and the S&H is expensive. Curious as to what procuct you use and love, and the price. Thanks!

I get great results from Mederma Facial Cleanser which is an alphy hydrxy.

My dermatologist suggested it when I had cystic acne because you don't scrub. Very gentle.

I really like the Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder- its gentle, effective and affordable for $16 at Ulta. I like how this prodect is a powder that you put a few drops of water into in your hand and then emulsify into a creamy foam and put on your face- it feels really great and isn't harsh and leaves my skin smooth and bright. I use this once a week.

@nanny24 I use all kinds of products for different forms of exfoliation. If you want inexpensive, check out The Ordinary 30% Glycolic 2% BHA Peel. The Ordinary website is currently having a 23% off sale across the board and free shipping.

I use Peter Thomas Roth Firm x peeling gel & love it. I get it in a QVC large kit on auto ship that was a tsv. They have it in small little travel kits if you'd want to try that way.

Used to use Principal Secret also & liked her stuff but had to get off paraben.

I guess I don't need much exfoliation. When I want a little, I put a quarter size blob of Purity Made Simple cleaner in my palm and add a little sugar to it. It gives a very gentle exfoliation, which is all I need - once a week or so. {*_*}

I'm a soap and water gal ....

For the last 25+ years, I've used Kiss My Face Olive Oil Soap and exfoliating bath gloves .... daily for face.

Followed by a once over with witch hazel.

Once or twice weekly I use this (15% glycolic acid) serum mixed into my daily moisturizer. Leaves my skin smooth and flake free.

QRXxLabs Glycolic Acid/AHA 15% Renewal Serum - $16 Amazon

(it's an "Amazon's Choice" product if that matters)

Dr Nassif Pads make a great and very easy exfoliant.

Technically they have exfoliating ingredients but they're so mild that I don't really rely on them for that.

I rely on them for daily use, but once a week I do either a acid peel or enzyme peel and once a week a microdermabrasion .

@SurferWife

I don't know if it will pill under makeup b/c I use it as a nighttime treatment and then rinse it off in the morning.
