Chances are your skin-care routine already includes a cleanser and an exfoliator, but let us make the case for combining both steps into one. The benefits of the exfoliating face wash are plenty. When used correctly and matched to your skin type, the best exfoliating cleansers help remove dead skin cells, smooth texture, and brighten your complexion in one fail swoop. They also keep pores clear and enhance the absorption of everything that follows, so your serums, toners, and ampoules work even better.
