Liquid Exfoliators

Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for Liquid Exfoliators.

Exfoliators are products designed to be applied to the skin in a thin layer and then washed off after a few minutes. The idea is that the liquid exfoliator will remove dead skin cells and dirt from the skin while also stimulating the growth of new skin cells.

My Go To Exfoliator for Hard to Manage KP...I've been using this since 2019, and it's the best chemical exfoliator I've ever used!! I find the Paulas Choice one to be way too greasy, and every other chemical exfoliator I find is either way too harsh or not exfoliating enough for my keratosis' pilaris s(since I have hard to deal with KP that salicylic acid does nothing for). ...It's well balanced as a daily exfoliator.

Love that this liquid isn't too strong and doesn't leave my skin dry!

Great body exfoliator...Also I love that it comes in a tube, as opposed to a jar which many exfoliators come in.

This was my first time trying a powder exfoliator, and I really like it. Somehow, it feels much easier to dispense the right amount without wasting any (which often happens to me with typical physical exfoliators). ...I have never used a product like this before, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
