FAQs

Is The Lotion vegan and cruelty free?

Yes. The Lotion is Vegan, cruelty free and made in Australia.

Is it safe to use long term?

With gradual introduction and daily sun protection, AHA body lotions can be used as part of a long-term smoothing routine. The Lotion is formulated for ongoing use with barrier-supporting ingredients to maintain comfort and tolerance.

What makes this different from other glycolic acid body lotions?

The Lotion contains a
clinical-strength 12% AHA concentration and combines glycolic acid with urea
and niacinamide for simultaneous exfoliation, hydration and barrier support. It is fragrance free, non-comedogenic and formulated specifically for keratosis
pilaris, strawberry legs, rough and ageing body skin.

Is this better than physical body scrubs?

Chemical exfoliation with AHA works by dissolving dead skin cell bonds rather than physically abrading the surface, making it more suitable for keratosis pilaris, strawberry legs and sensitive, bumpy texture than harsh scrubs.

Is 12% glycolic acid a high strength?

Yes. A 12% AHA concentration is considered clinical-strength for body care and is designed to deliver effective resurfacing while remaining suitable for leave-on use when pH balanced and supported by barrier-protective ingredients.

Is glycolic acid safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Glycolic acid is commonly used in skincare, but individual medical advice should be followed.
Consult your healthcare professional before introducing active exfoliants
during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

CanI use this with shaving or hair removal?

Yes. AHA exfoliation can help reduce post-shave congestion and the appearance of strawberry legs.
Avoid applying on freshly shaved, waxed or irritated skin and resume use once
the skin barrier is calm.

How long does it take to see results?

With consistent use, smoother texture and improved clarity are often noticeable within the first few days to a week, with continued refinement of keratosis pilaris, strawberry legs and uneven tone over several weeks as surface cell turnover normalises.

How often should it be used?

Apply at night as a leave-on body lotion. Start every second night for the first week, then
increase to nightly use as tolerated. Always apply sunscreen to exposed areas
during the day when using alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s).

Canthis help crepey or ageing body skin?

Yes. Glycolic acid supports surface renewal, which can improve the appearance of crepey texture
and fine lines. Urea attracts and binds moisture to improve smoothness, while
niacinamide supports elasticity and skin barrier function.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

The Lotion is fragrance free, pH balanced and formulated with barrier-supporting ingredients
to help minimise irritation while using high-strength AHA. If new to chemical
exfoliation, begin every second night and increase to nightly use as tolerated.

Does this work for strawberry legs?

Yes. Strawberry legs are associated with clogged follicles, uneven texture and post-shave dark dots.
AHA exfoliation helps clear surface build-up, while niacinamide supports tone
clarity and urea maintains hydration, resulting in smoother-looking, more even
skin.

Can this help keratosis pilaris (KP)?

Yes. Keratosis pilaris
is caused by compacted keratin plugging hair follicles. Glycolic acid helps
dissolve this build-up, urea softens thickened skin, and niacinamide supports
barrier repair. With consistent use, skin texture appears smoother and follicular
bumps become less visible.

Is this an AHA exfoliant or a moisturiser?

It is both. The Lotion is a high-strength AHA exfoliating body lotion. Glycolic acid provides chemical
exfoliation, while urea and niacinamide deliver hydration and barrier support,
helping reduce dead skin build-up while maintaining comfort and skin resilience.

What is a glycolic acid body lotion and what does it do?

A glycolic acid body lotion is a leave-on chemical exfoliant that uses alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to loosen the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This supports faster cell turnover, smoother texture, clearer follicles and more even tone. At a clinical strength of 12% AHA, The Lotion is designed to
resurface rough, bumpy and uneven body skin more effectively than standard
moisturisers.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

The Lotion is fragrance free, pH balanced and formulated with barrier-supporting ingredients to help minimise irritation while using high-strength AHA. If new to chemical exfoliation, begin every second night and increase to nightly use as tolerated.

Does this work for strawberry legs?

Yes. Strawberry legs are associated with clogged follicles, uneven texture and post-shave dark dots. AHA exfoliation helps clear surface build-up, while niacinamide supports tone clarity and urea maintains hydration, resulting in smoother-looking, more even skin.

Can this help keratosis pilaris (KP)?

Yes. Keratosis pilaris is caused by compacted keratin plugging hair follicles. Glycolic acid helps dissolve this build-up, urea softens thickened skin, and niacinamide supports barrier repair. With consistent use, skin texture appears smoother and follicular bumps become less visible.

What makes it hydrating if it exfoliates?

Yes. No synthetic fragrance, no essential oils, and no botanicals with scent. It’s safe for sensitive, eczema-prone, or allergy-reactive skin.

Is it comedogenic?

No. The Lotion is non-comedogenic and suitable for acne-prone skin. All emollients are balanced to avoid pore clogging.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. No animal testing. No animal-derived ingredients. Certified vegan and cruelty-free.

How often should I use it?

Start every second night, then build to once daily once tolerated. Always apply to clean, dry skin — best after a shower.

Will it sting?

Some tingling is normal, especially on first use. It fades quickly and is a sign the glycolic acid is active. Avoid applying to broken or freshly shaved skin until tolerance builds.

Can I use it on my face?

No. It’s formulated specifically for body use only. The concentration of acids is too strong for the face unless recommended by a dermatologist.

Will it stain towels or clothes?

No. It contains no ingredients that bleach or discolour fabric.

How long does a bottle last?

• 6–8 weeks with daily use on arms and legs
• Longer if applied to specific areas only\

Is it sold in stores?

No. The Lotion is exclusively available online — either through our website or authorised e-commerce platforms. We are not stocked in chemists or supermarkets.

Can I use it on damaged or eczema-prone skin?

Yes, but start slow. The Lotion is free from fragrance, essential oils, and drying alcohols, so it’s often tolerated well. Begin with a patch test or apply over moisturiser if unsure.

What’s the pH of The Lotion?

Approximately 3.6–4.0, ideal for skin barrier health and optimal glycolic acid performance without disrupting the acid mantle.

Why does this outperform other lotions?

Because it works. It’s not diluted, not trend-based, and not filled with fragrance or filler. Every ingredient is chosen for skin performance — not marketing fluff. You’ll see real changes in your skin’s texture, tone, and hydration.
