A good scrub or peeling is the secret weapon of every skincare routine. Dead skin cells that accumulate make your complexion dull and can clog pores. Regular exfoliation - once or twice a week - gives your skin room to breathe and helps your serums and creams absorb better.
We compared the most popular options at Belgian online pharmacies and found surprisingly large price differences.
Mechanical scrub vs. chemical peeling
A mechanical scrub contains fine particles that physically remove dead cells. Ideal for normal to oily skin. A chemical peeling uses acids (AHA, BHA) or enzymes to gently dissolve dead cells. Better suited for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
