exfoliants i rotate
do your research on these & do not mix and match this category. if you are under 18 - please don't use this section - you don't need it yet & it can damage your skin barrier.
i use this most often. only at night. do not mix with any other exfoliants! use sunscreen the next day
The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane
i only use this at night & make sure to use sunscreen the next day. do not mix with other exfoliants
CeraVe Salicylic Acid Cleanser, 8 Ounce
use this pretty often. still an exfoliant so don't mix with others.
Good Molecules 10% Niacinamide Serum
fav lactic acid (please research before mixing)
