Chemical exfoliants are skincare products that use acids or enzymes to dissolve and remove dead skin cells. On the other hand, physical exfoliants contain granules, beads or particles to scrub away dead skin cells.

Our scrubs are considered physical, with the sugar serving as the exfoliant. The Roller Rescue Soothing Serum is a chemical exfoliant in which the AHA and BHA act as exfoliants.

Yes, we created the Roller Rescue to be safe on sensitive skin. However, we recommend a routine that helps build up tolerance over time.

Yes, but we recommend waiting 24 hours because these acids can irritate freshly treated or sensitive skin. Waxing and shaving both involve the removal of the top layer of skin cells, which can leave the skin more vulnerable and exposed. This allows the skin to heal and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) are both chemical exfoliants that work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, leading to their removal and revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.

AHA: Derived from natural sources like fruits. Glycolic Acid is water-soluble from sugarcane and primarily works on the skin surface to exfoliate dead skin cells, promote cell turnover and help improve skin texture and tone. BHA: Derived from salicylic compounds, a lab-made version of the naturally occurring substances in plants like willow bark. Oil-soluble, can penetrate into the pores and work both on the skin's surface and inside the pores which is excellent for those ingrown hairs as it helps unclog pores and reduce breakouts.

It can help, but it takes time and consistent use to see visible results. Patience is key when using AHA/BHA for dark spots, as the gradual exfoliation and skin renewal process occurs.

AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) are generally safe for daily use in your skincare routine. However, it’s essential to consider your skin type and sensitivity. If you’re new to using AHA and BHA products or have sensitive skin, it’s a good idea to ease into it slowly (e.g., a few times a week) and gradually increase as your skin becomes accustomed to them. Always use sunscreen when using these acids during the day in areas exposed, as they can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
