Published: May 12, 2026 Imagery courtesy of Sluff Let me be upfront about something: I am a chemical exfoliant person. Glycolic acid toners, lactic acid body lotions, alphahydroxy acid (AHA) in every possible form. For years, I was convinced that the gentle, dissolve-it-away approach was the better route, especially for my always-sensitive skin. Then sluff arrived at my doorstep and, within minutes in the shower, changed my mind. Launching today, the brand was co-founded by Christina Han—a former beauty editor at Vogue, W and The Cut—and Esther Nordlinger, who was born in Seoul and moved to L.A. at three. Han grew up in Baltimore, but despite different childhoods, the two shared the same core memory: Korean bathhouse steam, a green viscose mitt and the no-frills scrub that meant it was time to get clean.
