Many people with sensitive skin are apprehensive about using acid exfoliants, but these products can actually provide a gentler and more effective alternative to traditional scrubs. Acid exfoliants, which include alpha and beta hydroxy acids, can help improve skin texture and longevity of makeup. A new wave of milky acid exfoliants, influenced by South Korea's hydrating toners, combines exfoliating acids with soothing ingredients to minimize irritation. For instance, Naturium's Multi Bright Milky Toner (£19) incorporates polyhydroxy acid gluconolactone and azelaic acid, making it a great choice for those who find glycolic acid toners too harsh. Similarly, Trinny London's Tiptoe In exfoliant (£36) offers a milky serum alternative that uses gluconolactone and lactobionic acid for gentle exfoliation. The Ordinary's Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner (£12.40) is another excellent option, suitable for all skin types, that effectively removes dead skin without drying. Users are advised to start with these products a few times a week, increasing frequency as tolerated.
