Are facial scrubs with micro beads in them okay to use as an exfoliator to get rid of facial imperfections along with a hydroxy acid and super cp serum?

Dear jimi6065:

Thanks for posting your question.

Here are some tips when it comes to manual exfoliation:

Although Skin Biology does not endorse or especially recommend one type/brand of skin scrub or microdermabrasion cloth above another, many clients have experienced improved results when they effectively slough off dead skin cells so that they can see what the copper-peptides have been working to accomplish underneath.

When searching for a good skin scrub, look for scrubs that utilize small exfoliating granules. The granule should be relatively round in shape and a fine scrub is best. Scrubs (such as oatmeal and apricot scrubs) with large granules have a tendency to tear at the skin leaving small lesions.

Some clients have chosen to make their own scrub using brown sugar and Emu Oil. Remember to use all methods of exfoliation in a gentle way so as not to cause excessive irritation.

Consistent use along with an effective copper peptide product (Super CP Serum) helps reduce the appearance of blemishes - See our page on Fading the Look of Marks and Blemishes with Copper Peptides and Exfoliation

Yes, a key to reduce the appearance of scars is to physically exfoliate or break down some of the upper scar tissue (dead skin cells). This helps the newer, younger skin rise to the surface and replace the older scar tissue.
