Confused between chemical & physical exfoliation? — and worried about damaging your skin?

The difference isn’t about strength — it’s about skin barrier health.
Chemical exfoliants gently loosen dead skin cells, offering more even exfoliation with less friction.
Mechanical exfoliants rely on scrubbing, which can irritate the skin if pressure is uneven.
For most skin types, gentle chemical exfoliation, used correctly and sparingly, is better tolerated than frequent physical scrubs — especially if your skin is sensitive, acne-prone, or post-procedure.
What many people get wrong:

  • Exfoliating too often
  • Scrubbing inflamed skin
  • Skipping sunscreen after exfoliation

Healthy exfoliation supports glow.
Over-exfoliation damages the skin barrier — leading to redness, breakouts, and pigmentation.

Exfoliation is always tailored, controlled, and guided by skin science — not trends.
