DERMAdoctor KP Moisturizing Lotion 10% AHA+PHA Exfoliating Body Cream — 8 oz, fragrance-free, hydrating ceramides & squalane

This therapeutic body lotion combines chemical exfoliants with replenishing moisturizers to address dryness, redness, and textured skin commonly called "chicken skin" or strawberry legs. Designed for daily use on arms, thighs, and other affected areas, the formula balances glycolic and lactic acids (AHAs) with polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) to loosen dead skin, while ceramides, urea, and squalane help rebuild and seal the skin's moisture barrier. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, it’s made to be effective without adding irritation to sensitive or mature skin.

How does KP Moisturizing Lotion reduce bumps and rough texture?

The lotion uses a dual-exfoliation approach: AHAs (glycolic and lactic acids) smooth the surface by dissolving bonds between dead skin cells, while PHAs provide gentler exfoliation and humectant benefits. Over consistent use, this combination helps reduce the appearance of KP bumps and supports an even skin texture without over-drying.

• 10% total AHAs + PHAs blend for effective cell turnover.
• Glycolic and lactic acids target dead skin build-up on hair follicles.
• PHAs offer tolerance for sensitive or reactive skin types.
• Regular application helps minimize redness and rough patches.

What hydration and barrier-repair ingredients are included?

Beyond exfoliants, the formula includes ceramides to restore lipid layers, urea to attract and hold moisture, and squalane to soften and smooth. These actives work together to lock in water and reduce flakiness following exfoliation, supporting healthier-feeling skin long term.

• Ceramides rebuild the skin’s protective barrier.
• Urea provides humectant and mild keratolytic effects.
• Squalane delivers lightweight, non-greasy emollience.
• Non-comedogenic base avoids pore-clogging while hydrating.

Is this lotion safe for sensitive or daily use?

Formulated to be fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin, the lotion balances effective exfoliation with soothing hydrators. Start with once-daily application and increase frequency as tolerated; always follow with sunscreen on areas exposed to sun since AHAs can increase photosensitivity.

• Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic for lower irritation risk.
• Gentle PHAs help reduce potential stinging or redness.
• Recommended gradual introduction for very reactive skin.
• Complement with daily SPF for sun-exposed areas.

How should I use this to see the best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin once daily, concentrating on arms, thighs, and other rough patches. Consistent nightly or morning use produces the best visible improvement within weeks, while continued use helps maintain smoother texture and hydration.

• Use on entire affected area, not spot treat, for even results.
• Massage until absorbed; allow a few minutes before dressing.
• Combine with gentle cleansers—avoid other strong exfoliants simultaneously.
• Apply sunscreen during the day to protect newly revealed skin.
