Collection: Exfoliator

For most skin types, exfoliating 2-3 times a week with AHA's is ideal. Over-exfoliating can lead to barrier damage, while infrequent exfoliation can cause congestion and a dull complexion. Skinician’s chemical exfoliators are formulated to gently exfoliate while maintaining hydration and supporting skin barrier health. Always follow the usage guidelines on the packaging and adjust frequency based on your skin type and sensitivity.

Chemical exfoliation uses actives like AHA's (e.g. glycolic acid, enzymes) to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting natural cell turnover. Physical exfoliators use fine, gritty particles to manually buff away dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. At Skinician, we prioritise chemical exfoliants, as they are clinically proven to be more effective, less abrasive, and ideal for improving tone, texture, and radiance, without damaging the skin barrier.

Chemical exfoliants, particularly with AHAs and ingredients like glycolic acid and natural acids like succinic acid, are ideal for breakout-prone skin. They gently unclog pores, regulate oil production, and inhibit acne-causing bacteria, all without stripping the skin. Our range of exfoliators is specially formulated to reduce active breakouts, fade post-acne scarring, and restore long-term clarity. Each product works to gently calm, balance, and refine the skin for a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.

Absolutely, when done with the right ingredients. Skinician’s AHA-based exfoliants are clinically formulated to be effective yet gentle. For sensitive skin, we recommend starting slowly with mild enzyme or glycolic acid treatments to build tolerance. Our exfoliators are designed to preserve barrier integrity, soothe inflammation, and support skin resilience with calming, conditioning active ingredients.

A dull complexion is typically caused by dead skin cell build-up, slowing cell turnover and preventing light reflection. Chemical exfoliation using AHAs helps lift these cells, refine texture and reveal radiant skin. Our exfoliators enhance skin brightness while reinforcing barrier function, ensuring results without irritation.

For congested or blemish-prone skin, ingredients like glycolic or succinic acid works best. Dry or sensitive skin benefits from gentler options like enzyme exfoliators. Skinician's targeted range caters to all skin types, balancing exfoliation with barrier-supporting and soothing ingredients to ensure both efficacy and comfort.
