Pair with hydrating moisturisers for added hydration.
Exfoliating Serums FAQs
Does Vitamin C serum exfoliate the skin?
Vitamin C does not exfoliate the skin. Instead, it supports brightness, antioxidant protection, and even tone, while exfoliation is achieved through acids or enzymes.
How to use an exfoliating serum?
Exfoliating serum is applied to clean skin before moisturiser. It is usually best used at night to reduce sensitivity. Daily sun protection is essential when using exfoliating products.
Which serum is best for exfoliating the face?
Exfoliating serums typically contain AHAs or BHAs that remove dead skin cells. These serums improve texture and brightness when used correctly and in moderation.
Can I use retinol serum after exfoliating?
Using retinol immediately after exfoliating may increase irritation. It is often better to alternate days or allow skin to recover, reducing sensitivity while still gaining benefits from both treatments.
Can I use salicylic acid serum after exfoliating?
Using salicylic acid serum immediately after exfoliating may increase irritation. Alternating days or allowing skin recovery helps prevent sensitivity while still achieving acne-clearing benefits.
Do you wash off exfoliating serum?
Exfoliating serums are usually leave-on treatments and should not be washed off immediately. They are applied to clean skin, allowed to absorb fully, and followed with moisturiser to minimise irritation and support skin comfort levels.
