You actually want to use slightly acidic cleansers etc. on your face because your skin is slightly acidic as a protective strategy. Anything between 5-7 is fine for a cleanser or physical exfoliant.</p> <p>njw, I haven't used a gommage exfoliator but I think the idea is kinda neat. However, if you're already using a Clarisonic and your face is red, I suspect that you're overexfoliating, not underexfoliating. If you really want to try the gommage, I'd stop the Clarisonic use first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1745997 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 21:12:10 +0000 Isabel 1745997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also curious as to why they would tell you to exfoliate even more. My skin gets really dry in the dead of winter and it get very sensitive. Though not like yours or Angie's it seems because I can handle Retinol and vitamin C. &nbsp;I use a glycolic acid pad once a week in the winter, though I think that I could do two if needed. I feel that there is ALWAYS new technology popping up and we get overwhelmed an confused. If something has been working, I believe in sticking with it...therefore,&nbsp;<br />with all that said, it sounds as if the Caudalie may be the way to go. &nbsp;</p> <p>( I have also read the one of THE best exfoliants is baking soda ! )</p> <p>Good luck and please update us .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1745357 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 22:48:41 +0000 Style Fan 1745357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very sensitive skin.&nbsp; I do not use a clarisonic.&nbsp; I have heard some negative things about them and I am not taking chances.&nbsp; My skin takes too long to heal for injuries.&nbsp; I do not exfoliate.&nbsp; I have used AHAs and was okay with them but why chance it.<br />My skin looks pretty good.&nbsp; I do get eczema from time to time (from eating those little oranges at Christmas that I am allergic to so why do I eat them).&nbsp; I use the products the Derm recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1745210 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 15:55:11 +0000 Eliza 1745210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Angie: &nbsp;I love the Caudalie gentle buffing cream. It is very gentle on my dry skin and leaves it feeling exfoliated and fresh.A little of these products goes a long way. I also like their cleansing foam, which I wash my face with at night. Thanks for the recommendation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1745109 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 11:21:23 +0000 Anonymous 1745109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Rx Finacea gel acts as an exfoliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1745035 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 03:20:44 +0000 bj1111 1745035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus one for retin a and Paula's choice aha and moisturizer moisturizer moisturizer.</p> <p>la Roche posay line has good reviews for roseacea prone skin. </p> <p>Cksridonic may be too abrasive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1745028 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 02:23:17 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1745028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have similar redness issues.

I exfoliate twice a week, and have very sensitive skin. I can't handle retinol or alpha hydroxys.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1744888 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 18:35:49 +0000 Anonymous 1744888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yonka has a beautiful gommage mask/exfoliator . I've had a tube going several times on and off over the years. I'd buy it more often but it's not stocked very widely here. &nbsp; I am rethinking my Clarisonic these days - &nbsp;not sure if it's doing more harm than good, even though my derm/dr &nbsp;sells &nbsp;them too. &nbsp;In fact, now that I've written this, I am going to drive out to the only spa I know that carries Yonka here and buy a tube. I love the smell </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1744854 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:04:19 +0000 njw 1744854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is interesting because it doesn't have "granules" in it. as most exfoliators do..its like a smooth gel</p> <p>Both woman said it will do a better job sloughing off the dry skin on my face and it is gentle...I tried it and did not react but its just hard to believe it does something the Clarisonic does not, thats why I asked on the forum</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1744846 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 16:29:12 +0000 Alexandra 1744846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) exfoliator. Mine is from Paula's Choice. My skin is too sensitive for the scrubby kind. Did the SAs explain why they recommend that specific product? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gommage-exfoliators#post-1744844 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 16:28:14 +0000 annagybe 1744844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never heard of it.
