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.

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).

This Kenzoki Amazing Exfoliating Water ($29) doesn't use any beads or powder (or additional water!) to exfoliate skin.

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 moisturizing 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).
