The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick — 7% AHA + Salicylic Acid, Fragrance-Free for Rough, Bumpy Skin

The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is a leave-on, solid applicator that targets rough, bumpy body texture with 7% glycolic acid plus salicylic acid and shea butter for softer, smoother skin.

If you notice uneven texture, keratosis pilaris-like bumps, clogged pores, or occasional body breakouts, this stick is formulated to treat those concerns directly. The compact, no-rinse format makes targeted application simple—glide the stick over problem areas morning or night. The formula combines chemical exfoliants that remove dead surface cells with a nourishing emollient to reduce tightness and discomfort after exfoliation.

How does this stick improve rough, bumpy skin?

The core active is 7% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps loosen and slough away surface dead skin cells, revealing smoother skin underneath. Regular, controlled exfoliation encourages a more even texture and reduces the appearance of tiny bumps over time.

• 7% glycolic acid for surface exfoliation and texture smoothing
• Leave-on format for continuous mild action without scrubbing
• Targeted stick design reaches specific areas like arms, thighs, and chest

Will it help with ingrown hairs and body breakouts?

Salicylic acid is included to penetrate pores and help clear the build-up that can lead to ingrown hairs and body blemishes. Combined with glycolic acid’s surface action, the two work together to reduce congestion and the likelihood of bumps caused by trapped hairs or oil.

• Salicylic acid to help exfoliate inside pores and reduce clogging
• Dual-action approach addresses both surface flakes and pore congestion
• Solid applicator allows precise treatment around hair follicles and common breakout zones

Is this gentle enough for sensitive or daily use?

Formulated to be fragrance-free and suitable for a wide range of skin types, the stick balances effective acids with shea butter to soothe and soften. While it’s designed for everyday convenience, start with less frequent use if your skin is reactive, and always monitor for irritation when introducing acids.

• Fragrance-free formula to minimize irritation risk
• Shea butter provides immediate softening and comfort after application
• Recommended: patch test and gradual introduction for sensitive skin

How do I use the Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick in my routine?

The stick is designed for direct, no-rinse application: glide it across dry, clean skin in areas of concern and leave it on. Use it singularly or layered under a moisturizer; apply once daily or as tolerated, and always follow with sun protection on exposed skin when using exfoliating acids.

• Apply to clean, dry skin; no rinsing required—glide and go
• Suitable for AM or PM; use sunscreen during the day when treated skin is exposed
• Start with every other day if new to AHAs or BHAs, then increase as tolerated
