NEOSTRATA Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Lotion 10% AHA Lightweight Oil-Free 6.8 fl oz — Face, Body & Hands for Smoother Texture

NEOSTRATA Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Lotion is a lightweight, oil- and fragrance-free 10% AHA lotion that gently exfoliates and resurfaces skin on the face, body, and hands for a visibly smoother appearance.

This formula blends glycolic and citric acids at an optimized pH to deliver controlled chemical exfoliation without heavy oils or added fragrance. Designed by a dermatologist-founded brand, the lotion aims to renew texture, improve skin radiance, and support the look of firmer, more even skin when used regularly. It comes in a 6.8 fl. oz. bottle, is made in the United States, and is packaged with compact dimensions (5.8 cm L x 5.8 cm W x 19.2 cm H) and a weight of 0.28 kg.

How does this lotion improve skin texture?

The key actives are glycolic acid (an AHA) and citric acid, which work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells and promoting surface cell turnover. Regular use encourages smoother-looking skin and helps reduce the roughness that develops from environmental exposure and natural aging.

• Contains 10% Alpha Hydroxy Acid for effective surface exfoliation
• Glycolic acid helps refine texture and visibly smooth fine lines
• Citric acid assists with gentle resurfacing and brightness
• Optimized pH to maintain potency while minimizing irritation risk

Can I use it on face, body, and hands every day?

The lightweight, non-greasy formula is suitable for multiple areas, but frequency depends on your skin's tolerance. Start by applying once a day or every other day, then increase to daily use as tolerated; always monitor for redness or sensitivity and adjust accordingly.

• Use on face, neck, chest, hands, and body where texture concerns appear
• Begin with less frequent application and build up based on comfort
• Pair with sunscreen during the day—exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity

What makes this different from other AHA lotions?

This lotion balances a high-strength 10% AHA concentration with a precise pH to deliver effective exfoliation without heavy emollients or added fragrances. Its oil-free, fragrance-free profile reduces the chance of pore-clogging or unnecessary irritation, making it versatile for many skin types seeking surface renewal.

• High-strength AHA delivery (10%) formulated for precision
• Oil-free and fragrance-free to limit comedogenicity and irritation
• Dermatologist-founded brand with clinical-grade ingredient focus
• Convenient 6.8 fl. oz size for face and full-body use

How should I layer this with other skincare products?

Apply to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before heavier creams or SPF. If you use retinoids or other actives, introduce this lotion slowly to avoid over-exfoliation and consider alternating evenings or using under professional guidance.

• Use after cleansing and before moisturizers or sunscreens
• Avoid simultaneous use with other strong exfoliants at first
• If using retinoids, start with fewer applications and watch for irritation
• Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen during daytime use

Who is this for: NEOSTRATA Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Lotion is intended for adults seeking a potent, fragrance-free chemical exfoliant to improve skin texture across face, hands, and body. It's well-suited to those comfortable introducing a 10% AHA into their routine, people with rough or dull skin seeking visible smoothing, and anyone who prefers an oil-free, dermatologist-founded formula. Avoid use on broken or severely irritated skin and consult a skin-care professional if you have reactive or highly sensitive skin.
