Naturium Glycolic Acid Body Wash — The Smoother, 16.9 oz exfoliating AHA cleanser for soft, smooth skin

This 16.9 oz cleanser combines an AHA blend—glycolic, lactic, pyruvic and tartaric acids—with hydrating red algae to slough away dead skin while supporting surface moisture. Designed at a skin-appropriate pH (4.25–4.75), the formula is developed for daily use on body and can also be used as a facial cleanser for those accustomed to chemical exfoliants. It's vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free and made in the USA.

How does this body wash help when my skin feels uneven or bumpy?

The AHAs in this wash chemically loosen bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their removal without aggressive scrubbing. Over time this resurfacing effect improves the look and feel of rough patches and uneven texture.

• Glycolic and lactic acids gently exfoliate surface cells.
• Pyruvic and tartaric acids enhance the AHA blend for balanced resurfacing.
• Red algae helps retain moisture so skin feels less tight after use.

Can I use this daily and is it suitable for sensitive areas?

The formula is made to be gentle enough for regular, everyday cleansing for most skin types, but sensitivity varies. Patch testing is recommended, especially before using on sensitive zones or facial skin.

• pH-balanced to support exfoliant effectiveness while minimizing irritation.
• Daily-use formulation for body; proceed cautiously on facial skin if sensitive.
• Start with alternate days if you’ve never used AHAs before.

What results should I expect and how soon might I see them?

Visible smoothing and softer-feeling skin can appear after a few uses as surface dead skin is removed. Consistent use over several weeks improves overall texture and helps skin look more even and supple.

• Immediate: cleaner, smoother-feeling surface after showering.
• Short term (weeks): diminished roughness and more even skin texture.
• Use with sunscreen on exposed skin when treating with AHAs to protect renewed surface layers.

Is this product safe with other active skincare ingredients?

It pairs well with many body care routines, but combining multiple strong actives at once can increase irritation. When adding other resurfacing or potent ingredients, introduce products gradually and monitor skin response.

• Compatible with hydrating and barrier-supporting moisturizers after cleansing.
• Avoid layering with other strong acids or retinoids on the same application without guidance.
• Patch test new combinations and reduce frequency if redness or sensitivity appears.

Who is this for: Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash is ideal for people with rough, bumpy or uneven body skin who want a daily chemical exfoliant that also hydrates. It's appropriate for users experienced with AHAs who want a larger, economical bottle for regular use; those with very sensitive skin should start slowly or consult a dermatologist. As always, perform a patch test before widespread application and use sun protection on treated areas.
