Exfoliant
Removes dead skin cells so fresh ones can come through. Chemical exfoliants (acids) are generally gentler than physical scrubs.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Physical Exfoliant
Anti-Aging Benefits
Antioxidant Protection
Reduces Inflammation
Traditional Use
