Helen’s note
If you're suffering from clogged pores, or textual concerns, and aren't already using an exfoliant (or are ready to trade-up), do add a chemical exfoliant into your routine. Use exfoliants judiciously - a healthy strong skin barrier is the best thing for your skin, so you need to strike the right balance between exfoliating and nourishing the skin.

Luciderm Acid-free Exfoliating Serum for Sensitive Skin
£81 30ml
Exfoliation for people who think they can’t exfoliate. Instead of acids, soy amino acids and bio-fermented yeast gently dissolve the glue holding dead cells, so rough, flaky skin smooths out with little drama. Lycopene adds antioxidant protection. Massage it in and leave it on by day or overnight. It’s our go-to for dry, sensitive skin that looks tired.
Key ingredients
Yeast Extract (bio-fermented), Soy Amino Acid – helps to eliminate old, flaky skin, efficiently stimulating cell turnover and cell renewal. Unlike AHA’s, its gentle mechanism of action and safety profile make this ingredient ideal as an exfoliant and anti-ageing product for even the most sensitive skin.
Hydrolysed tomato skin (Lycopene) – a new antioxidant derived from hydrolyzed tomato skin. It is more powerful than green tea in its ability to neutralize free radical damage, which leads to ageing, and cell destruction.
If you have sensitive reactive skin and believe exfoliation of any sort is off limits. If you say that you don't exfoliant because you're afraid of drying your skin out, this is the one for you.
What to expect
- Smoother, softer skin with less flaking
- A brighter, more luminous look
- Renewed, resurfaced-looking skin over time
- Serums that absorb better afterwards
