I am working on repairing my skin barrier and avoiding all harsh acid and retinol products but needed something to exfoliate my dry, flaky skin. I can use this on a daily basis without stripping my skin too much and combine it with any gentle cleanser to give it an extra boost of quick, not too harsh, surface level clean. I use it in gentle circular, lifting massage motion all over my face and it is really helping with my PIE redness. I could never see myself go without this product in my skin care routine :) Must have product
