What Are Keratolytic Products?

Imagine a gentle but effective army waging war against dead skin: that’s what keratolytic products do! These formulations break down the outer layer of skin, making way for fresh, new skin to shine through. Here are the top contenders:

Incorporating these ingredients into your skincare arsenal is a game-changer for achieving smoother, more radiant skin.
