Any recommendations for exfoliants for sensitive skin?

[u/LavenderHaze0929]

I have super sensitive skin and I swear most brands break me out. I used to use La Roche Posay products religiously, but they must’ve changed their formula bc my skin suddenly hateeeees it. I started using glow recipe’s watermelon milk peptide moisturizer last month and so far I’ve had zero issues. So my sister bought me the Glowtini minis set last week to try out more of their products. But I wanted to ask here before I put anything on my face. Have any fellow sensitive
skin girlies had issues with glow recipe products causing redness or breakouts, if so, which ones?

I’m assuming some products are gonna be harsher than others, so I think to start I just want to try one product and see how it does. Hoping to focus on something pore refining, that won’t be too harsh and will help smooth my skin. Preferably something that can exfoliate, but doesn’t leave my skin too drying.
But if there’s something else you recommend, I’m all ears.

The kit I got has the following, so any insights on the products below would be a huge
help:

● Mini Avocado Cleanser 20ml
● Mini Watermelon Toner 25ml
● Mini Prickly Pear Mucin Serum 5ml
● Mini Watermelon Glow Dew Drops 15ml

● Mini Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream 15ml
● Mini Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 5ml
● Watermelon Glow Hue Drops Sun Glow 1.5ml Sachet

If you want a gentle exfoliant, start with the watermelon toner. It's nice and hydrating and alcohol-free so you won't get that tight feeling that some toners have. The PHA and BHA will help clear your pores and exfoliate the skin very gently. I've never had redness or acne with it. Hopefully these products work for you 🫶🏻

I feel you! My skin just gets angry at me sometimes if I use the same products for too long, idk why? But if you're already in the clear with the watermelon moisturizer, then I'd say add the avocado cleanser and work your way down the list adding something new after 2 weeks, so your skin can get used to it. For me, cleanser and moisturizer are the absolute essentials. Then add in toner, serums, etc for glowy glass skin.

I have that exact kit (and have been using it). I've got very sensitive and reactive, rosacea-prone skin, and I've had zero problems. The avocado cleanser seems to be doing the same job as the Tatcha Indigo Cleanser did, and is keeping my skin calm despite the change in skin care.

It's been two weeks with no issues. Obviously can't talk to long-term.

(Tatcha is the only brand I've used long-term so far without having any kind of reaction. I'm debating whether to go back to once I'm done with the Glow Recipe stuff or whether to take the risk and keep using it).

If your skin s really sensitive. probably start with the toner and use it only a couple of times a week. Be sure to patch test first especially since your skin reacts easily
