Chemist at Play Exfoliating Body Wash for Strawberry Skin — 15.9 fl oz with 1% Salicylic & 2% Lactic Acid, Ceramides

Chemist At Play Exfoliating Body Wash is a fragrance-free cleansing gel formulated with 1% salicylic acid, 2% lactic acid and ceramides to gently smooth dry, rough, bumpy "strawberry" skin while hydrating and improving texture.

This body wash combines acid exfoliation and barrier-supporting lipids to address uneven body texture without harsh scrubbing. The blend targets dead skin buildup and follicular roughness while delivering moisture through ceramides, making it suitable for daily use on arms, thighs and torso. It’s vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens, silicones, mineral oil, dyes and gluten, designed for people who want a science-based approach to smoother skin.

How does this body wash reduce rough, bumpy skin?

The formula pairs two exfoliating acids: salicylic acid penetrates pores to help loosen trapped debris, while lactic acid supports surface cell turnover to reveal smoother skin. Regular use helps reduce the appearance of bumps and evens texture without aggressive physical scrubs.

• 1% salicylic acid for pore-penetrating chemical exfoliation
• 2% lactic acid to gently remove surface dead skin
• No gritty particles—chemical exfoliation for consistent coverage

Will it dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

The cleansing base is fragrance-free and formulated to avoid common irritants like parabens, silicones and mineral oil. Ceramides are included to support the skin’s moisture barrier, which helps reduce dryness commonly associated with exfoliating acids when used appropriately.

• Fragrance-free and dye-free to minimize irritation risk
• Ceramides to help retain hydration and reinforce the barrier
• Use as directed—start with every other day if you have reactive skin

How should I use it for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet skin, lather briefly, then rinse—avoid prolonged leave-on time unless directed by a professional. For new users, begin with a few times per week and increase frequency as tolerated; follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration after showering.

• Wet skin, lather briefly, rinse thoroughly
• Start slowly (every other day) if you have sensitive skin
• Finish with a hydrating body lotion to maximize smoothness

What safety and formulation details should I know?

This product is crafted without animal testing and excludes common additives that can irritate or weigh down skin. It’s intended for external use only—avoid broken or actively inflamed skin and stop use if severe irritation occurs.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Free from parabens, silicones, mineral oil, gluten and dyes
• Not a substitute for medical treatment—consult a dermatologist for severe conditions
