Exfoliators

Exfoliators are skincare products designed to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. Regular exfoliation helps to:

• Unclog pores and reduce the risk of breakouts.
  
• Enhance the absorption of subsequent skincare products.
  
• Promote a smoother, brighter complexion.
  
• Stimulate collagen production, aiding in skin renewal.
  

Incorporating exfoliation into your routine can significantly improve skin texture and appearance.

The frequency of exfoliation depends on your skin type and the exfoliation method:

• Oily Skin: 2-4 times per week.
  
• Normal/Combination Skin: 1-3 times per week.
  
• Dry/Sensitive Skin: Once a week.
  

Always monitor your skin's response and adjust accordingly. Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation and compromised skin barrier.

Face Dr provides a range of medical-grade exfoliators, including:

• ZO Exfoliation Accelerator: Combines glycolic and lactic acids to gently exfoliate and promote skin renewal.
• ZO Exfoliating Polish: Utilises magnesium crystals to buff the skin, enhancing texture and brightness.
• ZO Dual Action Scrub: Targets acne-prone skin by removing dead skin cells and excess oils.
  

Each product is formulated to address specific skin concerns and is suitable for various skin types.

Yes, but it's crucial to choose gentle exfoliators. Products containing polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) or mandelic acid are suitable for sensitive skin as they exfoliate without causing irritation. Always perform a patch test before full application.

Exfoliation can benefit acne-prone skin by preventing clogged pores. However, it's essential to select products specifically formulated for acne concerns. ZO Dual Action Scrub is designed to address acne-prone skin by removing dead skin cells and excess oils.

Selecting the appropriate exfoliator depends on your skin's needs:

• For Oily Skin: Look for exfoliators with salicylic acid to penetrate and clear pores.
• For Dry Skin: Opt for products with AHAs like glycolic acid to promote moisture retention.
• For Sensitive Skin: Choose exfoliators with PHAs or mandelic acid for gentle exfoliation.
