Face Peeling

A good face peeling gently removes dead skin cells and refines the complexion. The skin immediately appears smoother, clearer, and rosier. All Dr. Spiller facial scrubs activate the skin's natural renewal process, cleanse deep into the pores, and optimally prepare the skin for the subsequent application of active ingredients—for a fresh radiance and a deeper skincare effect.

The right face peeling for every skin type

Choosing the right scrub depends on your skin type, skin condition, and the desired effect. Whether mechanical, enzymatic, or chemical—each type has its own mechanism of action. Not every skin condition is suitable for every type of exfoliant, so it is important to carefully consider which exfoliant is right for your skin. If you have acute inflammation, spider veins, or hypersensitivity, you should avoid mechanical or overly strong exfoliants. Enzyme exfoliants, on the other hand, are suitable for all skin types and are a safe alternative. Chemical exfoliants should only be used under the professional guidance of a beautician or dermatologist.

Types of facial exfoliants & alternatives

Mechanical exfoliants

Mechanical exfoliants use fine particles to remove dead skin cells through friction. They provide immediate smoothing and a clean feeling on the skin.

Chemical exfoliation

Chemical exfoliants dissolve dead skin cells using fruit acids. They are particularly effective for dull or uneven skin texture.

Enzyme peels

Enzymatic peels work biologically, without mechanical irritation. They are particularly suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Using face peelings in your skincare routine

Thorough face cleansing is essential for the active ingredient care in your products to be effective. If the skin is not cleansed beforehand, the skincare products cannot penetrate the skin and take effect. Cleansing steps should be carried out carefully to avoid skin irritation.


  1. Cleanse your face thoroughly: Before exfoliating, apply your daily cleansing product as a base. After washing off, you can proceed with exfoliation.

  2. Gently apply the exfoliant to damp skin: Enzyme and chemical exfoliants need time to take effect, while mechanical exfoliants work by massaging and rubbing the skin surface.

  3. Rinse thoroughly with water: To remove all residues and avoid irritating the skin, it is essential to remove the product thoroughly.

  4. Follow up with facial toner or tonic: This removes any limescale or product residue from the skin and prepares it optimally for the next step in your skincare routine.

Effective ingredients in face peelings

The composition of our scrubs varies depending on the product. Not every active ingredient is found in every formulation; mechanical scrubs contain abrasive particles, chemical scrubs contain fruit acids, and enzymatic scrubs contain lipases and proteases for the biological breakdown of proteins and lipids adhering to the skin's surface.

  • Jojoba wax beads remove dead skin cells particularly gently and leave the skin feeling refreshed without irritation.

  • Ground apricot kernels also have a mechanical effect due to the friction they create, smoothing the skin in a natural way.
