How do you manage your facial exfoliation?

I have sensitive, dehydrated, and acne-prone skin.

I used a peeling gel, but at some point, the small bumps got worse and turned into pustules.

I was looking for a gentle scrub and got a recommendation for Lush, so I use Ocean Salt and Happy Skin occasionally.

Troubled by frequent breakouts from physical exfoliation,

I've tried the famous Paula's Choice BHA Liquid and I'm also using Sidmool mask packs.

I heard that 3rd and 4th generation PHA and LHA ingredients are coming out these days, and that they cause less stinging and have superior exfoliating effects compared to AHA and BHA.

I've been using Luoqi Laha Foam Cleanser for a few months now. I've heard there are a lot of good PHA toners out there too!!

I've seen a lot of posts recommending physical exfoliants... Are there any of you who use chemical exfoliants along with them like I do??!!
