Exfoliating skincare helps remove dead skin cells so the skin looks smoother and brighter. Usually, exfoliating products contain acids like AHA, BHA, or PHA, which help improve texture, unclog pores, and even out skin tone.
Two popular choices are exfoliating toners and serums, and each works slightly differently depending on your skin needs.

1. ELFORMULA

It contains AHA (glycolic acid), BHA (salicylic acid), and PHA, which work together to remove dead skin, clean pores, and help brighten the complexion. The product is typically applied for a short time—around 30–60 seconds before rinsing—so the exfoliation process happens quickly without leaving the product on the skin for long.

2. AVOSKIN

These products are known for combining acids with soothing ingredients so the exfoliation process feels gentler on the skin. The Miraculous Refining series usually uses ingredients such as AHA, BHA, and PHA to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture while helping maintain skin balance.
If you want a fast, intensive exfoliation, ELFORMULA can be a strong option. But if you prefer consistent and milder exfoliation in your routine, Avoskin’s toner or serum may feel easier to use and maintain.
