Lactic Acid Treatment Cream for Rough Skin (Body)

This soothing cream is designed to target and improve rough, uneven skin texture. It helps to smooth and soften areas affected by conditions like keratosis pilaris, psoriasis, and sun damage, providing relief for rough patches on the body, including heels and knees.

What does it do:

  • Smooths rough, bumpy skin (keratosis pilaris)

  • Softens dry, cracked heels and knees

  • Improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin

  • Helps reduce symptoms of psoriasis

Important Note:
Avoid using Lactic Acid products in combination with 30% Urea. If using both, allow at least 30 minutes between applications.

 

Use: Apply a thin layer to the affected areas in the evening. For added sun protection, follow with Propaira Sunscreen before sun exposure.

A 20% lactic acid exfoliating body lotion that smooths rough, bumpy skin while hydrating it. Use it in the evening on the areas that need it.

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.
Key ingredients:
- 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

Full ingredients (INCI):
Purified Water, Lactic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-100 Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil, Decyl Isostearate and Isostearyl Isostearate, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Cetyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopherol Acetate, Dimethicone, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum
It smooths the look and feel of rough, bumpy body skin, including the appearance of keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) on arms and thighs, rough heels and knees, and dry sun damaged patches. It is also chosen for skin prone to scaling from conditions such as psoriasis. Diagnosed conditions should still be managed with your GP or dermatologist.
It is a genuinely high strength body exfoliant, which is why we suggest patch testing and starting a few nights a week. Because lactic acid is also a humectant, most people find it more comfortable than they expect. If you have very sensitive skin, book a free consultation before you start.
Lactic acid is the pick when you want exfoliation plus hydration. Choose the 10% Salicylic Acid Cream for thick crusty build up and the 30% Urea Emollient for very hard, cracked, dry skin. Do not apply this lotion and the 30% Urea at the same time; leave at least 30 minutes between them.
Skin usually feels smoother within one to two weeks of regular evening use, with the look of bumps and rough patches improving over four to eight weeks. Keep using sunscreen on exposed treated areas.

Gentle but Effective Exfoliant

Feels lightweight and non-irritating; the lotion absorbs quickly and my skin was visibly smoother after two uses. Subtle citrus scent and no dryness.

Fresh Scent, Smooth Finish

Like the ingredient list lactic acid feels less harsh than stronger AHAs. Pleasant to use, no sticky residue, makes foundation sit better.
