How to Exfoliate Properly- Best Product Recommendations

[@ja-t5220]

Thank you Dr Swati for another great video. I’m 59 years old have mild type I rosacea. My skin is hypersensitive and prone to mild hyperpigmentation. I would love to try a PHA exfoliant but I’m terrified that it might lead to irritation and hyperpigmentation. I know you mentioned some PHAs in your video. Are these the gentlest ones for someone like me with hypersensitive rosacea prone skin? Thank you so much.😊

Hi! Yes the ones I recommended are pretty gentle. But start slowly like once In two weeks for a few months then slowly increase use. Slow and steady is best for exfoliation with rosacea skin types. If you see a flare of rosacea then stop use temporarily.

Hi doctor swati. Thanks for the information, can you please tell me what to use on an old injury scar on the face. Thank you ❤

Hi you can try silicone scar sheets or gel

Hi. What do you mean by "can be used for dry skin, but needs to built up"? Does that we need to use moisturiser before applying or else do we need to decrease the frequency and quantity of product.

You have to build tolerance which is harder in dry skin. So start with low strength, use it once a week initially, and moisturize 2x a day. And then slowly build. If you are unsure it's useful to see a dermatologist near you to help guide.
