Exfoliating Serum

Exfoliating serums help remove accumulated surface cells and improve the appearance of rough texture, dullness, clogged pores and uneven-looking skin. Formulas may contain alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic, lactic or mandelic acid, beta hydroxy acids such as salicylic acid, or combinations of exfoliating ingredients. Choose a concentration suitable for your skin and introduce it gradually rather than using several exfoliants together. Apply only as directed and avoid irritated or broken skin. Alpha hydroxy acids can increase sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, so daytime sunscreen and limiting unnecessary sun exposure are important while using these products.
