What you get: A gentle exfoliating body moisturizer that transforms your skin care routine. This lightweight, 2-in-1 formula delivers both hydration and gentle exfoliation daily, making it the perfect body moisturizer for dry, rough, or dull skin.

Why it works: Powered by 3% PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid), this gentle exfoliating body lotion removes dead skin cells while drawing moisture deep into skin for lasting hydration. Unlike harsh AHA body lotions, our PHA formula is suitable for sensitive skin and gentle enough for daily use. Jojoba oil and rice bran help nourish, calm, and soften skin for visibly smoother texture.

How it feels: Ultra-lightweight and instantly absorbing. This non-sticky, non-greasy body moisturizer leaves no residue - just smooth, comfortable, hydrated skin all day.

When to use: Apply daily, morning and evening, as your go-to exfoliating body moisturizer. Perfect for preparing skin before fake tan or maintaining smooth, even texture year-round.

Suitable for:

  • All skin types

Targets:

  • Dry skin
  • Dull skin
  • Rough skin texture​

The Science Behind PHA: Gentle Daily Exfoliation

What is PHA? PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) is the gentlest member of the exfoliating acid family. Unlike harsh AHA or BHA acids, PHA's larger molecular structure works at the surface level, making it perfect for daily body use without irritation.

Why PHA is Better for Your Body - Traditional exfoliating acids can be too harsh for large body areas and daily use. PHA removes dead skin cells while simultaneously hydrating - meaning you exfoliate and moisturize in one step. It's clinically proven safe for sensitive skin and won't leave you with the stinging or peeling common with stronger acids.

What to Expect
Week 1 - Immediate hydration boost, initial smoothing
Week 2-3 - Noticeable texture improvements, reduced roughness
Week 4+ - Maintained smooth, soft skin with continued use

Perfect for treating keratosis pilaris (KP), dry patches, and creating smooth skin for fake tan application.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this lightweight body cream absorbs quickly into the skin. Many reviews mention its non-sticky, fast-drying formula that allows immediate dressing. The texture feels silky and smooth, with users noting its water-like consistency. While most find it leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, some mention it may not provide enough moisture for very dry skin. Frequent comments address the desire for a larger size option. Reviews are mixed on the scent, with some preferring its unscented nature while others note a subtle fragrance.

    Fab!

    Love this cream - super absorbent so you don’t have to wait for ages to get dressed. I use it to get rid of those horrible little bumps that live under my skin on my upper arms.
