WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT GLYCOLIC ACID BODY STICK? This specialist treatment has been formulated with a powerful combination of AHA and BHA ingredients to target multiple concerns with one solution, offering deep, effective exfoliation without leaving the skin feeling dry, tight, or stripped. The chemical exfoliation powered formula means it can penetrate deeper into the surface layers, supporting the skin’s natural exfoliation process as well as unclogging pores and targeting visible signs of congestion. Chemical refers to the active ingredients used in the formula like Glycolic and Salicylic Acids, which you’ll be familiar with from our skincare range. These friction-free chemical ingredients deliver all the exfoliation power you need to see results but without the stripping, abrasive ingredients of physical exfoliators (scrubs, salts and brushes/gloves).
Presented in an easy-to-use, solid stick format for precise application, Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick can be applied directly to areas of concern (unlike liquid exfoliants which require cotton pads) with no need to rinse off, just glide and go.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT FOR? Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is ideal for anyone who may be experiencing body skin concerns which would usually require using multiple products to address, including:
1. KP Bumps (Keratosis pilaris)
2. Body Breakouts
3. Ingrown Hairs
4. Dry, Flaky, Rough Skin
5. Discolouration/ Dark Marks
6. Rough Elbows/Knees
7. Dry, Hard, Cracked Heels
IS IT NON-COMEDOGENIC? Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is not a non-Comedogenic product however, it is proven to visibly improve signs of congestion and body breakouts making it suitable for breakout-prone skin. Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick contains Shea Butter to help keep the skin nourished and minimize potential irritation from acid ingredients. It helps to moisturize and protect the skin leaving it feeling instantly softer, soothed, and comforted.
IS GLYCOLIC ACID SAFE TO USE ON BIKINI LINE AND UNDERARM? Yes, Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is suitable for up to 1x daily use on the bikini line and underarm areas. If using on the underarms, apply 10-15 minutes before using deodorant/anti-perspirant. For best results, we recommend applying directly to clean, dry skin in the PM, and applying deodorant/anti-perspirant in the AM. For both underarm and bikini line areas, we recommend leaving at least 8 hours after hair removal to prevent irritation. Once concerns improve, reduce usage to 3X per week or as required to help maintain benefits.
CAN I USE PHA EXFOLIATING AND HYDRATING BODY WATER CREAM WITH THIS? People using Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Stick can absolutely, and should be, using PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Cream as an everyday maintenance product. If applying both, only apply the Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick to concern areas then apply PHA Body Water Cream to all other areas of the body. Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is a specialist treatment to be used directly on concern areas, whereas PHA Body Water Cream should be used daily to help with overall body skin maintenance. Using both products simultaneously will help to keep stubborn body concerns at bay and increase skin's hydration levels.
WHY DO I NEED TO WEAR SPF AFTER USE? Using exfoliators such as AHA/BHA can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. It is recommended that prior to exposure to the sun, users cover areas where the product has been applied with sunscreen. Do not apply it to irritated or broken skin.
DO I NEED TO RINSE THE PRODUCT OFF MY SKIN? No, Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick has been specifically formulated as a leave on product. It is safe to apply and leave on your skin throughout the day as it works.
