Best Sellers in Exfoliators

Exfoliators, Ranked by What Sells

Both kinds of exfoliation show up on this list. On the physical side, SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub and Obagi Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask handle surface roughness in a couple of minutes at the sink.

Chemical exfoliants make up the rest. SkinBetter AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads pair an AHA with a retinoid on a single pad, Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight works while you sleep, and Revision Triple-Action Exfoliator combines acids with a gentle polish. SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator rounds it out for anyone who prefers a leave-on liquid.

How often should I exfoliate?

Two to three times a week suits most skin. Daily exfoliation tends to leave the barrier looking dull and reactive rather than smoother, so if skin feels tight the answer is usually less frequency, not a milder product.
