FAQs

Our askINKEY digital skincare advisors are experts with deep product knowledge, here to answer your most asked questions and make skincare as simple as possible.

For most people, exfoliating 1-2 times per week is ideal. If you're new to chemical exfoliants, start with once weekly and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Those with sensitive skin may find once weekly sufficient, while oily or acne-prone skin types may benefit from 2-3 times per week. Always listen to your skin and reduce frequency if you experience irritation.
Face exfoliators are typically gentler with lower concentrations of active ingredients, as facial skin is more delicate. Body exfoliators often contain higher concentrations of AHA or BHA to tackle thicker skin and concerns like keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs, or rough patches. Always use products specifically formulated for each area.
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells from the surface, unclogs pores, and stimulates cell turnover. This reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath and can help with concerns like dullness, rough texture, blackheads, and uneven skin tone. Regular exfoliation also helps other skincare products absorb better.
Start slowly with once weekly application, always use sunscreen during the day (as exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity), and avoid mixing with other active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C. Apply to clean, dry skin and follow with a gentle moisturizer. If you experience irritation, reduce frequency or concentration.
Chemical exfoliants should be applied to clean, dry skin after cleansing. This ensures the active ingredients can penetrate effectively without interference from dirt, oil, or makeup. Follow with moisturiser to maintain your skin barrier.
AHAs (like glycolic acid) are water-soluble and work on the skin's surface, making them ideal for dry skin, sun damage, and improving overall texture. BHAs (like salicylic acid) are oil-soluble and can penetrate pores, making them perfect for oily, acne-prone skin and blackhead removal.
