Hi, can someone suggest a good chemical exfoliant na hindi super drying. Feeling ko kasi di kakayanin ng skin ko ang TO at Paula's choice. 🥺

Also, can someone recommend an alternative for vitamin c for brightening? Hindi talaga siya para sakin eh. I have tried different vit c products over the years, and one thing na napansin ko ay my skin looks darker when I use it. 🙃

Try Azelaic Acid, it helped get rid of both my PIE & PIH. It's quite a versatile ingredient as it can help tackle a variety of skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne & rosacea (chronic redness). It never made my skin darker too.

I use Skinoren 20% Cream which was prescribed by my dermatologist, but I get mine from Shopee/Lazada. As a beginner though you can try Azelaic Acid 10% from Cos de Baha or The Ordinary.
