What's your all-time favorite scrub/peel/treatment?
I recently started using the Roc Night products, and I have definitely seen a positive result! Another good product is the DG Skincare Alpha-Beta daily face Peels. They're gentle on skin, but provide immediate results!

Can vouch for the Clarisonic as well- With regular use it really seems to increase the efficacy of absorption of helpful targeted products. Worth its weight in gold.

Having what feels like the most sensitive skin in the world I am afraid to use any of these peel/exfoliating type products. I really feel like I am missing out on a good thing!!
