A fresh exfoliating cleanser for every skincare routine
Posted Monday, March 22, 2010
Every now and then, a rumor starts going around the office—not about something scandalous, but about something fabulous. Someone will have tried a lesser-known product and told maybe one or two people about how amazing it is, and then word slowly spreads until everyone's curiosity has piqued.
Most recently, the product making a big impression on our office is the Alpha/Beta Exfoliating Cleanser by VitaliaDerma. It was created by Dr. Kathleen Judge to complement regimens for multiple skin conditions—from acne to sun damage—but it's also an effective standout on its own.
This cleanser exfoliates in three ways: alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic and lactic), beta-hydroxy acid (salicylic), and scrubbing jojoba beads. Gentle enough to be used with retinoids, it helps unclog pores as it sweeps away dead skin cells.
One of the reasons Alpha/Beta Exfoliating Cleanser is gaining fans in the NewBeauty office is a natural grapefruit scent that makes it downright addictive. But its the effects on our skin and how well it fits in with our other favorite products that make it so buzz-worthy.
