Korean Exfoliants for Sensitive Skin
Chemical exfoliants dissolve dead cells instead of scrubbing them off. Two or three times a week is plenty for most skin, followed by a moisturizer and, in the morning, SPF.
For sensitive skin, short ingredient lists and soothing actives such as centella and panthenol matter more than strong treatments. Patch test anything new. These are the exfoliants whose brands recommend them for sensitive skin.
