Hydroxy acid cleansers are made with either alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy acids. The mild acid in hydroxy acid cleansers can help remove dead skin cells and balance your skin tone.  Apply a small amount of hydroxy acid cleanser to your face. Rinse the cleanser away with clean, lukewarm water. Retinols are derived from vitamin A. These creams can improve acne and may actually reduce damage from the sun's UV rays. In order go acquire a true retinol cream, you'll need a doctor's prescription. Talk to your dermatologist about how retinol may help your skin. Some common prescription-strength retinol creams include tretinoin and tazarotene. They typically come in strengths of 0.01 to 0.1% and should be applied once every day. Mechanical exfoliation peels away the outermost layer of your skin. This leaves you with a smoother layer of skin that is more effective at absorbing any skin-care products you subsequently apply. Some mechanical exfoliation can be performed at home, while other methods will need to be performed by a specialist. Microdermabrasion, microneedling, dermablading, and cleaning brushes are all common ways of mechanically exfoliating your skin. Chemical exfoliators can be administered by a dermatologist or aesthetician. They typically use acids to peel away your outer layers of skin and promote new skin cell growth. Chemical peels can help reduce acne and improve your skin's tone and texture. Common chemical exfoliants include salicylic acid, glycolic acid, a blend of acids, enzymes, and/or retinols.
