If You’re Still Dealing with Bumps, Flakes, or Rough Skin — This Is For You
You’ve tried scrubbing. You’ve moisturised. But your body skin still feels rough, patchy, or covered in tiny bumps. You’re not alone — and there’s a reason the usual lotions aren’t working.
It comes down to one key ingredient: glycolic acid. And how it's formulated.
What Most Lotions Get Wrong (Even the Big Brands)
A lot of body products say they exfoliate — but they use:
- Too little active ingredient
- No pH control for effectiveness
- Fragrance or fillers that irritate skin
Even some cult-favourites that work on the face just don’t penetrate thicker body skin. The result? Wasted time, money, and a cabinet full of half-used bottles.
What Science Actually Says About Glycolic Acid for Body Skin
Dermatologists have known for years:
- Glycolic acid at 10–12% is ideal for body exfoliation
- Pairing it with hydrators (like urea, shea butter, niacinamide) boosts results
- It helps with Keratosis Pilaris, dry patches, dull skin, post-acne marks, and flaking shins
“If a patient hasn’t seen results with drugstore products, I usually check for actives. Less than 10% glycolic acid won’t do much on the body.”

How to Choose the Right Body Exfoliant (Without Getting Tricked by Packaging)
Here’s what to look for:
- 10%+ glycolic acid (check the ingredient listing)
- No fragrance or essential oils
- Formulated for the body (not repurposed facial acids)
- Combined with moisture-sealing ingredients like urea or shea
One Brand Got the Formula Right — Finally
We found one that nailed it. It’s called The Lotion, and it was formulated specifically for Australian skin conditions — including heat, dryness, and sensitivity from over-cleansing.
Here’s why it works:
- 12% buffered glycolic acid to break down rough skin
- Urea, niacinamide, shea butter, and aloe vera to deeply hydrate
- No fragrance, parabens, or silicone residue
- Non-greasy, sinks in fast, and doesn’t sting
What People Are Reporting

“I didn’t expect this to work better than the ones I’d been using for years.”
FAQs — From Real Search Queries
Q: Will glycolic acid sting on sensitive skin?
A: Some users may feel a mild tingle — that’s the glycolic acid getting to work. The Lotion is formulated with hydrators and a gentle pH to minimise irritation while still delivering results. Most find the sensation fades quickly, especially with regular use.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Most users feel smoother in 3–5 days and notice visible improvement within 2 weeks.
Q: Can I use it daily?
A: Yes — it’s designed for consistent daily use, even on problem areas like thighs, arms, and back.
The Final Word
You don’t need to guess anymore. If your skin hasn’t responded to exfoliating body products, it’s likely because the actives were too weak — or the formula just wasn’t built for the job.
You deserve better. That’s why The Lotion exists.
