Can I use this exfoliator if I have sensitive or reactive skin?

This exfoliator is formulated with a gentler cellulose-based mechanism, which may be better tolerated by some with sensitive skin compared to harsher scrubs or acid peels. However, sensitive or reactive skin requires a cautious approach. The product information advises starting cautiously and observing how your skin responds.

Here is a practical method to assess compatibility:
Patch Test: Apply a small amount to a discreet area like behind your ear or on your jawline. Leave it on for the recommended time, rinse, and monitor the area for 24-48 hours for any redness, itching, stinging, or excessive dryness.
Initial Use: If the patch test is successful, incorporate the exfoliator into your routine slowly. Use it no more than once a week initially, on dry skin as directed, with very gentle pressure. Avoid combining it with other potent active ingredients (like retinoids or strong acids) in the same routine to minimize the risk of irritation.
Observations: Pay attention to how your skin feels after use. While some temporary pinkness can be normal with any exfoliation, persistent redness, burning, tightness, or flaking indicates it may be too strong for your current skin condition. If you have a diagnosed skin condition (like rosacea, eczema, or active dermatitis), it is essential to consult a dermatologist or skincare specialist before introducing any new exfoliating product.
