A while ago, I fell for an pretty aggressive sales pitch and bought an insanely expensive face exfoliator.

Unfortunately for me, the stuff actually works and my skin feels amazing.

Here is the ingredient list excluding everything I was able to immediately rule out (full list in spoiler tags at the end).

Propylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ascorbic acid(VC), Linalool

I've read that Carbomer can act as a mild exfoliator, but I'm not sure if that's the case here.

So if anyone has pointers for products I can try (which are available in Europe), I'd appreciate it!

!Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Gingo Biloba Leaf Extract, Coix Lacryma-Jobi (Job’s Tears) Seed Oil, Fragrance, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil, Dehydroacetic Acid, Oenothera Biennis ( Evening Primrose) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Polysorbate 20, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ascorbic acid(VC), Limonene, Linalool!<
