The Science Behind The Product: Glycolic Acid Body Stick

17.04.2024 | body
Exfoliation. We’ve all heard of it, in fact we know that 94% of people are already exfoliating, but maybe not for the right reasons, and certainly not with the right products. At INKEY we believe that effective, efficient, chemical exfoliation is missing in most body care routines today. The skin on our body is thicker, produces less oil and has a slower skin cell turnover rate than our facial skin, making it prone to become dry, rough and dull, as well as being susceptible to more stubborn concerns such as KP bumps, ingrown hairs and body breakouts – meaning effective exfoliation is essential. With the launch of INKEY Body we’re here to show you that there’s a better way to exfoliate, one that targets and improves multiple body skin concerns and is so easy-to-use, you can add it to your daily body care routine with no extra effort. INKEY SAYS EXFOLIATE!


WHAT IS GLYCOLIC ACID EXFOLIATING BODY STICK?

Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is the answer to targeting and visibly improving multiple body skin concerns which 9 out of 10 people experience*. Powered by chemical exfoliation, this specialist treatment delivers deep, effective exfoliation and is proven to tackle stubborn concerns including KP bumps, ingrown hairs, rough skin and body breakouts* in as little as 7-days. Presented in an easy-to-use, solid stick format to enable precise application, Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick can be used as part of the AM or PM routine. Apply directly to areas of concern with no need to rinse off, just glide and go.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

Chemical exfoliation refers to the active ingredients used in the formula such as Glycolic Acid, which you may already be familiar with from our skincare products like Glycolic Acid Toner. The powerful formula includes 7% Glycolic Acid to exfoliate surface dead skin cells and help smooth rough, bumpy texture together with Salicylic Acid to help unclog oily pores and improve body skin that’s prone to breakouts and ingrown hairs. The addition of deeply nourishing Shea Butter helps to instantly soften, soothe, and comfort skin.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is the ideal targeted solution for anyone who may be experiencing body skin concerns which would usually require using multiple products to address, including: KP Bumps (Keratosis pilaris) presents as rough, bumpy skin, body breakouts, ingrown hairs, dry, flaky, rough skin, discolouration/ dark marks, rough elbows/knees and dry, hard, cracked heels

WHEN SHOULD I USE IT?

Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick can be used as part of the AM and/or PM routine. Apply directly to clean, dry skin on concern areas with no need to rinse off. Start by using 2-3 times per week on affected areas and gradually increase to daily application if tolerated. For overall body skin maintenance, apply PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream to all other areas of the body to help brighten, smooth and even skin tone.
