My friend's skin cleared up in two months after she stopped using physical scrubs.
She had these rough patches on her cheeks for over a year and was using an apricot scrub every other day. I told her to switch to a chemical exfoliant with lactic acid, and the texture is totally smooth now. Has anyone else seen this kind of turnaround from changing up exfoliation methods?

My cousin's skin improved after she quit coffee.

My derm told me physical scrubs can cause micro-tears that trap bacteria. She said it's like creating tiny open doors for breakouts. That's why chemical exfoliants just dissolve the glue between dead cells instead. Made total sense after she explained it.

Yeah, my skin got way better when I switched to a chemical exfoliant too. That rough scrub I used to love was probably making things worse.
