27 of the Very Best Exfoliators From Sephora to Get Your Face Clean and Glowing

Refine and smooth skin's surface with this Kiehl's Since 1851 Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion ($41). Not only does it visibly reduce dark spots on the face, the retexturizing process means any serums that follow absorb even better, too.

This Drunk Elephant JuJu Exfoliating Bar ($28) earns especially high marks from Sephora shoppers with sensitive skin as the fragrance- and soap-free bar uses natural ingredients like thermal mud and bamboo powder to wash away skin's impurities and minimize the look of pores.

This Fresh Umbrian Clay Pore Purifying Face Exfoliator ($33) uses an anti-inflammatory, absorbent clay from Italy to soak up toxins and soothe breakouts or other irritations. Plus, the polish face cleanser has 4.7 stars and more than 24,000 loves from other Sephora shoppers thus far.

Not only does the Olehenriksen Transforming Walnut Scrub ($28) exfoliate skin, its blend of walnut powder, ginseng, and chamomile extracts deeply cleanse pores and brighten your complexion at the same time.

Racking up more than 1,000 five-star reviews, this brightening Amorepacific Treatment Enzyme Exfoliating Powder Cleanser ($22-$60) uses papaya- and green tea-derived enzymes to gently turn over dead skin cells (and is gentle enough to apply daily).

You have papaya and pineapple to thank for your soon-to-be radiant glow, as both fruits smooth skin as they exfoliate with this Wishful Yo Glow Facial Enzyme Scrub ($21-$39). There are also BHAs and AHAs to reduce the look of dark spots and uneven texture — and the new scrub already has more than 26,000 loves from other shoppers.

The Tarte Sea Frxxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser ($22) is a twist-up stick that scrubs away dull, dead skin with fossilized sea algae, but can also be used as a regular cleanser or a mask to purify pores and leave skin illuminated.

It's hard to miss the emerald hue of this Omorovicza Refining Facial Polisher ($95) but, as it's massaged in, fruit extracts, lava powder, Hungarian moor mud, and microalgae work to exfoliate skin (and the colour changes).

Tata Harper Regenerating Exfoliating Cleanser ($42-$84) buffs skin with apricot powder, detoxifying French pink clay, and a clearing, natural BHA from white willow bark extract.

Natural humectant brown sugar and the vitamin C-rich wild strawberries in this top-rated Fresh Sugar Face Polish Exfoliator ($25-$62) buff and brighten your complexion, while grapeseed and plum seed oils seep in to leave skin soft and well-hydrated.

This Kenzoki Amazing Exfoliating Water ($29) doesn't use any beads or powder (or additional water!) to exfoliate skin. Instead, it's wiped on with a pad, so the lemon and ginger can tackle dead cells and other impurities, while its other plant-based ingredients work like a toner to clarify your complexion.

Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser ($21) uses energizing coffee beans and ginseng to bring back skin's radiance, plus there's jojoba and wax to help unclog pores to leave skin smoother — and other Sephora shoppers give it top marks for doing just this.

The top-rated Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser ($40) features salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids to strip away dead cells while moisturising agent sodium PCA ensures skin stays hydrated, its texture revitalized, and its barrier strong.

This spa-inspired Olehenriksen Pore-Balance Facial Sauna Scrub ($28) warms your skin as its rubbed on (and the exfoliating AHAs do their job) but then finishes cool (thanks to eucalyptus and peppermint also inside).

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Pore Exfoliating Treatment ($24-$85) features lactic and salicylic acids (plus silica) to manually buff away dead skin cells but then adds in fruit enzymes (and moisturising honey) to enhance skin's exfoliation without drying it out. (Plus, there are more than 58,000 loves from other shoppers.)

The Origins Modern Friction Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion ($42) uses rice starch in a smooth cream to polish away flaky patches, but there's aloe already inside to immediately protect against any subsequent irritation or redness, especially in those with sensitive skin.

and exfoliating caviar lime extract to chemically smooth all over.
