What causes keratosis pilaris?
Keratosis pilaris is caused by excess keratin blocking hair follicles, which leads to rough raised bumps and uneven skin texture.
Why does glycolic acid help rough and bumpy skin?
Glycolic acid exfoliates dead skin cells and helps release compacted keratin, improving skin smoothness and clarity over time.
Is higher strength glycolic acid better for body skin?
Body skin is thicker than facial skin, so higher strength glycolic acid is often required to achieve visible texture improvement when properly formulated.
Why is urea important in exfoliating body lotions?
Urea hydrates the skin while softening hardened keratin, helping exfoliating acids work more effectively and comfortably.
