Cornell dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick reveals the skincare product she believes is a waste of money.
With so many expensive skincare options, it can be hard to know which ones are actually worth it. But as awith more than a decade of experience, there's one type of product I never waste money on: abrasive exfoliant scrubs.
Chemical exfoliants buff away dead skin cells, while physical exfoliants weaken the bonds between them. You want to make sure that you are choosing ones that will give you all the benefits — and none of the harsh ingredients.I always tell my patients to steer clear of products that contain large, irregularly shaped or jagged granules — like formulas with walnut shells or ground fruit pits — which can lead to microtears in the skin, as well as redness, irritation and sensitivity.
If that's the case, you may want to consider chemical exfoliants. These formulas tend to include alpha-hydroxy acids like glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, or beta-hydroxy acids like salicylic acid. If you have acne-prone skin, you may want to consider salicylic acid to help unclog those pores. Some people may find they are unable to tolerate a physical exfoliant on their face, but might be able to on their body. So it may help to use different exfoliants for different purposes.
