Lactic Acid Treatment Cream for Rough Skin (Body)

Smooths rough, bumpy skin (keratosis pilaris)
-
Softens dry, cracked heels and knees

1. In the evening, apply a thin layer of lotion to the affected areas, such as the backs of the arms, thighs, heels, knees or rough sun damaged patches.
2. Massage in gently until absorbed.
3. Wash your hands after applying.
4. The next day, apply a Propaira sunscreen before sun exposure, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sun sensitive.
Tips:
- Patch test on a small area for a few days first, and start with two to three evenings a week, building up to nightly as your skin tolerates it.
- Do not apply at the same time as the Propaira 30% Urea Exfoliating Emollient. If you use both, leave at least 30 minutes between them.
- A mild tingle on application is normal for a 20% alpha hydroxy acid. Stinging that persists means you should rinse off and use less often.
- Avoid broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin, and keep away from the eyes and lips.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your GP before adding a high strength exfoliating acid to your routine.
- Persistent scaly or rough patches that do not improve should be reviewed by your GP or dermatologist.
- Lactic Acid 20%: an alpha hydroxy acid that loosens dull, rough surface cells to smooth the look and feel of bumpy, flaky skin, while also acting as a humectant
- Glycerin: draws water into the skin for added hydration
- Allantoin: soothes and conditions the skin
- Mineral Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: emollients that soften and protect while the acid works
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate): antioxidant support

Feels lightweight and non-irritating; the lotion absorbs quickly and my skin was visibly smoother after two uses. Subtle citrus scent and no dryness.
Very gentle, zero redness. My reactive cheeks tolerated it well and the overall brightness improved within ten days.
Like the ingredient list lactic acid feels less harsh than stronger AHAs. Pleasant to use, no sticky residue, makes foundation sit better.
After a month my closed comedones have reduced and pores look less obvious. Consistent, gentle exfoliation without flaking.
Nice milky texture that's easy to pat in; I use it at night and wake up with softer, clearer-looking skin.
