Why You Need a Daily Exfoliant for Smooth, Glowing Skin

Kasey Bennett

If you want glowing, clear skin, daily exfoliation is key. Without it, dead skin cells build up on the surface, blocking your serums, moisturizers, and treatments from absorbing properly. As a nurse practitioner, I always recommend a gentle daily exfoliant or toner to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity — and boost the effectiveness of your entire skincare routine.

At Hi, Finch, we’ve curated pharmaceutical-grade exfoliants designed for every skin need. Here’s how our top picks work:


Glow Getter — Brightening Pads

These hydrating brightening pads use kojic acid, arbutin, and hexylresorcinol to even skin tone and fade dark spots. Vitamin C and silymarin provide antioxidant protection, while hyaluronic acid boosts hydration — a perfect gentle option for brightening and smoothing.


Speed Racer — Gly/Sal Exfoliating Pads

These easy-to-use pads combine 2% salicylic acid USP and glycolic acid to exfoliate, reduce breakouts, and control oil. Witch hazel soothes and tones, while hydrating botanicals help maintain balance — great for oily, acne-prone skin.


☀️ Sunny Disposition — Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum

This gentle exfoliating serum uses lactic acid, peptides, and black tea ferment to smooth fine lines, minimize pores, and improve skin texture — while keeping hydration levels high. Perfect for those wanting smoother, more radiant skin without irritation.


Why Daily Exfoliation Matters for Healthy Skin

✅ Removes dead skin buildup for smoother texture
✅ Boosts absorption of serums, moisturizers, and treatments
✅ Helps brighten dull skin and even out tone
✅ Minimizes pores and prevents clogged pores
✅ Supports a healthy, hydrated skin barrier

With consistent daily exfoliation, your skincare routine works better, and your skin stays clear, balanced, and radiant.
