Looking for the best exfoliator/facial scrub - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Which product is your favorite? On another post, someone was talking about the glycolic peels, from 30 to 60%. I have had them done by my doctor in the past, but am scared to do them on my own. What if you leave it on too long? EEEK.

Thank you.

dont be afraid to do on your own. way cheaper. you wash face apply neutralizer let dry then apply acid, leave one for 1 to 12 minutes. wash again then apply neutralizer again and your done. at 30% youre pretty safe. i have rather sensitive skin and I had zero problem with it and LOVED the results. using scrubs can make tiny tears in your skin making pores look larger and damaging skin.

Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub. Even if you don't have blackheads it's still a good scrub with rounded beads to exfoliate but not tear the skin.

Thanks ya'll. I use a glycolic acid cleanser (MD Forte, Cleanser III), so my skin is used to the acid. I was just worried about messing around with this stuff on my own. I think I'll give it a try.

Thanks again!

P.S. What part of Wisconsin are you from? My mom and brother live in Darien and Elkhorn.
