Paula's Choice Skin-Revealing Glycolic Body Lotion 10% AHA, 7 oz — Smoothes Keratosis Pilaris & Hydrates

Paula's Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion is a 10% glycolic acid AHA exfoliating moisturizer that smooths rough, bumpy skin and helps reduce the appearance of keratosis pilaris on arms and legs.

This lightweight, creamy body lotion combines a potent 10% glycolic acid concentration with nourishing shea butter and an intentionally acidic pH to loosen dead skin cells, hydrate, and improve overall skin texture from the neck down. Designed for daily use, the formula was created to be effective for a range of skin types—normal, dry, oily, and combination—and aims to visibly reduce hard, clogged bumps and uneven tone without fragrance or unnecessary additives.

How does this lotion exfoliate rough, bumpy skin?

The product uses 10% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently dissolves the bonds between dead surface cells so they slough away more easily. Maintaining a pH between 3.5 and 3.9 helps the acid perform optimally while the emollient base soothes and moisturizes.

• 10% glycolic acid concentration for chemical exfoliation
• Formulated at pH 3.5–3.9 to enhance AHA activity
• Shea butter and creamy emollients to replenish moisture
• Fragrance-free and paraben-free for minimal irritation

Will this help keratosis pilaris (KP) and clogged bumps?

Regular application targets the built-up keratin plugs that create hard, red or rough bumps typical of KP. Over weeks of consistent use many users notice softer skin, fewer visible bumps, and a smoother overall appearance on arms, thighs, and other affected areas.

• Softens and helps remove keratin plugs responsible for KP
• Improves skin texture with continued daily use
• Reduces visible redness and recurrence when used consistently

How should I use this lotion in my body-care routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin once daily or as tolerated, concentrating on areas with roughness or bumps. If you’re new to AHAs, start with every other day and increase frequency; always follow with sunscreen on sun-exposed areas since AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.

• Use after showering on dry skin for best penetration
• Begin gradually if you have sensitive skin—every other day
• Pair with daily SPF on exposed skin to protect post-exfoliated skin

Is this formula suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

Although the lotion contains a strong AHA level, the creamy base and shea butter help maintain hydration and reduce tightness. Those with very reactive skin should patch-test first and introduce the product slowly to monitor tolerance.

• Lightweight yet nourishing texture for dry and combination skin
• No fragrance or parabens to lower irritation risk
• Patch test if you have highly reactive or compromised skin

Who is this for: Paula's Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA is aimed at anyone who wants to smooth rough, bumpy, or uneven body skin—especially people managing keratosis pilaris or persistent clogged bumps. It suits all skin types when used as directed, and appeals to those who prefer science-backed, fragrance-free treatments that combine effective chemical exfoliation with moisturizing ingredients for head-to-toe improvement.
