has anyone here used the skin bio exfol serum or both of these? i've read great reviews here of the i feel pretty bha, but i'm not crazy that it has propylene glycol in it (after ordering it though already on an impulse buy). the exfol serum seems to perhaps have healthier ingredients, but since i'm no chemist i really don't know for sure.
Exfol Serum – Aqueous Exfoliation Solution
Purified water, aloe vera gel, salicylic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, allantoin, polysorbate-20.
would love any input on how the two compare for cleaning out pores without irritation or interference with other products (i think i read somewhere that propylene glycol can react negatively with essential oils, but maybe i'm remembering wrong)?
thanks! |

Exfol has a higher pH so less "potient" IFP has a lower pH more intense/concintrated. However I did not personally find it was more irritaing.
I perfer IFP as I find for me it does a better job.
Exfol is a serum gel, IFP is a liquid. |

| Been using the IFP BHA 2% and loving it. Really great with the exfoliation and doesn't irritate my skin at all. |

I've never used the ifp bha, but have (and still do occasionally) use a similar 2% bha (1.9 ph) product.
I have both, but will more often reach for the exfol.
i really like the aloe base, and find that it does the job for such a gentle product.
also prefer the gel like consistancy.
I don't but, could use this 2x a day w/o any drying.
exfol works nicely for blackheads, and does away with the occasional pimple.
sporadically, I'll use the 2% for a boost, but for frequent application nothing beats the exfol imho. |
