Rough, bumpy body skin is not a moisture problem. It is a cell turnover problem. This in-depth guide explains how high-strength glycolic acid works at a biological level to resurface skin overnight, dissolve keratin plugs, and visibly smooth conditions such as keratosis pilaris and strawberry legs.
Many body lotions improve surface softness but do not address the underlying causes of rough or uneven texture. This in-depth guide explains why texture returns, what makes a body lotion truly texture-focused, and how modern formulations combine exfoliation, hydration, and barrier support to deliver longer-lasting results.
