Exfoliating methods

Physical exfoliation:Exfoliating creams containing scrubs are physically abrasive; medical laser resurfacing uses a special wavelength of laser light to ‘burn’ away excess keratin.

Chemical exfoliation:Chemical ingredients, such as acids like AHA and BHA, or some cationic surfactants, are used to ‘etch’ away excess keratin.

Biological exfoliation:Some biological components, such as alpha keratinase and papain, are used to break down keratin so that excess keratin can be loosened and fall off, and there are also some active ingredients that promote the expression of keratolytic enzymes within the skin tissue to achieve exfoliation, which is also called endogenous exfoliation.
