10 Best Korean Face Exfoliators for Soft Velvety Skin AHA BHA peeling toner salicylic acid dull skin K Beauty World

Facial exfoliators are products that remove the buildup of dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, which can contribute to dullness and uneven skin tone, so your skin looks healthy and youthful.

What are the different types of face exfoliators?

There are two types of exfoliation: physical exfoliators, which act on the outer layers of the face, and common mechanical peeling include facial scrubs, microdermabrasion treatments, cleansing cloths or flannels, and brushes used to manually rub the skin with salt, grains, bristles or fibers.

Liquid chemical peels, on the other hand, are exfoliating acids in various concentrations that penetrate deeper into the skin and work from the inside out. Think of the famous The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Solution or Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant.

Some examples of chemical peels include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs, glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs, salicylic acid), as well as poly hydroxy acids (PHAs, lactobionic acid and gluconolactone). For sensitive skin, you can use formulas with lactic acid or fruit enzymes - such as pumpkin, pineapple or papaya enzymes.
