A member asked:
Do chemical exfoliants make you significantly more photosensitive than physical exfoliants do (since physical exfoliants also remove top layer of skin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both procedures remove the top layers of skin so I assume no difference in the response of the new skin to the sunlight between the two methods.
