Walk into any beauty retailer and you will find glycolic acid body lotions ranging from 2% to 15% — all making similar claims. The percentage on the label is the single variable that separates a product that visibly transforms rough skin, KP and strawberry legs from one that simply moisturises. This is the clinical evidence behind why 12% is the standard that actually works.
If your skin still feels rough, bumpy or dotted after moisturising, the issue may be keratosis pilaris, strawberry legs or built-up dead skin. This guide explains why standard body lotions often fall short and how a targeted body formula with glycolic acid, urea and niacinamide can support visibly smoother-looking skin.
Australia's highest-rated glycolic acid body lotion — 12% AHA with urea and niacinamide, made in Australia. Clinically formulated to smooth keratosis pilaris, strawberry legs, ingrown hairs and rough bumpy skin. Fragrance-free, vegan and cruelty-free. Most users feel a difference within days. See how it compares to every major imported alternative available in Australia in 2025.
Glycolic acid body lotions (typically 10–12%) exfoliate dead skin cells, improve texture, and hydrate to treat rough skin, keratosis pilaris (KP), and dark spots. These treatments smooth, brighten, and firm skin. 12% Glycolic Acid — as found in The Lotion — is the clinical sweet spot for stubborn rough skin on the body. Best applied in the evening on clean, dry skin, with daily sunscreen use.
