3. CHEMICAL EXFOLIATION
All chemical exfoliants work the same way, so no matter which one you use, they all produce the same result
Retin-A, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid and other chemical exfoliants work by dissolving the "glue" that holds the skin cells together so they fall off faster than they naturally would, and reveal newer, fresher skin cells below. So basically they work by irritating your skin. But they do not actually remove anything. Many people often see a good result at first, but over time, the daily dissolution of the skin structure causes increasing dryness, redness and sensitivity.
A healthier alternative is to use a gentle scrub, because it works in harmony with the natural processes of the skin. Plus it has the added advantage of removing dead skin immediately as well as deep cleaning your pores. No chemical exfoliant or enzyme can do that. Our scrub melts as you add more water to it, so you can adjust it to the perfect texture for your skin. Check out The Sandwich
