Exfoliators are skincare ingredients that help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, revealing a fresher and smoother complexion underneath. They can be physical (scrubs) or chemical, such as AHAs, BHAs, and enzymes, each working in different ways to unclog pores, refine texture, and boost skin renewal. Regular exfoliation helps improve dullness, uneven tone, and breakouts, while also allowing other skincare products to absorb more effectively. With proper use, skin looks brighter, clearer, and more refined.

Over-exfoliating can lead to irritation, redness, and a weakened skin barrier, so it’s important to use exfoliators in moderation and always follow with hydration and sun protection.
