Written By Abigail Wise / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Exfoliators, whether they be body or face exfoliators, are used to scrub away any dead or dry skin to leave it feeling smooth and beautiful. This is also healthy for your skin because it allows the healthy skin to come through to the surface, leaving your face healthier and cleaner.

Best Face Exfoliators

The modern-day array of face exfoliators allows you to find the perfect one for your skin type. After using exfoliators, whether physical or chemical ones, your face will be brighter, smoother, and clearer. Here are the top five face exfoliators of 2019:

1. The OrdinaryGlycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution: This is a minimalist and straightforward chemically-based exfoliator that is meant to penetrate the skin. It is also very affordable.
2. Biologique RechercheP50 PIGM 400: This formula is a very potent chemical exfoliator and, because of that, is not meant for sensitive skin but works miracles for non-sensitive skin. It can be gentle, but strong and helps clear your skin of unwanted problems.
3. PixiSkintreats Glow Tonic: This is often seen as the P50 dupe in that it is similar, but gentler. It is made of 5% glycolic acid so it is as effective in cleaning the skin, but it is not as irritating.
4. Sunday RileyGood Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment: This serum is known for having a perfect five-star rating at Sephora and for good reason. It has an odd smell due to the lactic acid in it, but it is great for moisturizing the skin.
5. Paula’s ChoiceSkin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid: This product is made of a mix of beta-hydroxy acids that are known to clean out the pores and leave the skin looking clear and bright.

1. Herbivore BotanicalsCoco Rose Coconut Oil Body Polish: This is ideal for those with sensitive skin because it does not contain any harsh chemicals. Instead, it is made of fine sugar granules that will soothe your skin while wiping away the pesky dead skin cells.
