I really like Jack Black’s Clear Complexion Razor Bump & Acne Treatment. The product has 2% salicylic acid as the exfoliating ingredient. This is the way to go because salicylic acid exfoliates the surface of the skin and inside the pores. It took me awhile to get used to this type of exfoliator because I was used to the feeling of an actual scrub. A little bit goes a long way and I only use it a few times a week.
I know a lot of you like the St. Ives scrub, but I’m not a fan. I find it’s too abrasive. The product uses ground walnut shells as the exfoliant which is not good for your head. Walnut shells have uneven edges which actually causes tiny tears in the skin. The damage isn’t something you see right away, but over time it takes a toll on the dome. If you prefer a physical exfoliant look for a product that has exfoliating beads or even fine sugar- these have soft edges and are gentle on the dome. Hope this info helps.
