Glytone Exfoliating Body Lotion for Dry Skin, 17.5% PFAV Glycolic Acid Moisturizing Lotion, Reduce Keratosis Pilaris Bump, Fragrance Free Body Exfoliant, Revitalizing skin moisturizer, 8.4 Fl.Oz

When I was younger I found the perfect AHA lotion by Jergens. Seriously, it was cheap, smelled good, and worked beautifully on my youthful skin. However, as I've gotten older- it seems dry, flaky, dead skin kept piling up no matter what I used, whether in the shower or out. Being fed up, I did a simple Google search for rated exfoliating lotions. This one was in the top 5 since it contains uric acid, lactic acid, AND has the highest percentage of alpha hydroxy available outside your dermatologists office at 17%. The bottle reads: Glytone Resurfacing Lotion- and they aren't kidding!**I understand lots of people use the word 'amazing' these days to sum up things in life that should really be considered more 'great' or at most 'fantastic'**It's unscented and a fairly thick lotion, so a single pump goes a long way. I used it shoulders-to-toes the first night after a long soak in the bath to help loosen any extra stubborn calluses, bumps, and dead skin- though I highly doubt I needed to. The next morning my skin felt AMAZING. Seriously, I was thoroughly impressed with how supple, rejuvenated, and hydrated my skin felt. My skin hadn't felt this nice for several years thanks to sun exposure, age, stress, and a bit of motherhood related neglect. Ladies- you know that feeling immediately after you've shaved your legs and almost everything you wear or brush up against feels like smooth silk on your skin- Glytone lotion did that for my skin without shaving! Additionally, if works beautifully as prep for shaving since it takes care of any potential ingrown hairs allowing your shave to last a little longer. It's also great for those annoying little ketosis bumps you can get on the back of your arms or legs.

Bought this based off the good reviews, I am prone to getting KP bumps on my arms, which is very annoying to say the least. I had it under control for a long time with Retin-A cream, regular exfoliation (especially with a good dry brushing or good exfoliating cream, ZA New York Megavoltage exfoliating cream does miracles but it's hard to find, I used to purchase it in Hawaii), Dove Deep Mouisture body wash (or generic equivalent) and Lac-Hydrin lotion. Well, just went through back-to-back pregnancies and couldn't use the Retin-A, so the bumps were pretty bad for a bit there, the Lac-hydrin just wasn't cutting it. I tried Am-lactin, and saw some improvement, but it's true the scent is pretty awful with that lotion (at least with the heavier version). I decided to give this a go and was happy to find that 1) it doesn't have as strong a scent as Am-lactin and 2) it will keep your skin very soft for a long time. I use the lotion after showers only, so generally once per day, and over the past 1-2 months the bumps have slowly gone away. It was crazy, I could actually see the line move further and further up my arms until the bumps almost completely disappeared...my arms feel pretty smooth now which is awesome, I am just waiting for the last of the redness to go away. So no, this stuff will NOT make bumps go away immediately, but I am still on my first bottle (just ordered my second) and it has improved my skin DRASTICALLY with regular use. I am very pleased and will continue to buy. Also, for those who use Am-Lactin, if you don't like the scent, use that just where you need to and use your favorite good-smelling lotion elsewhere, and you will be fine. I am using up the Am-lactin on my thighs only (and yes, my skin there is great and kept nice and smooth) and then from the knees down where my skin is always perfectly normal I use something like my favorite Victoria's Secret lotion or if I don't want any scent just plain Lubriderm. It's no big deal, I keep a few bottles of my favorite lotion by the tub, and I'm in the habit of grabbing each one for the right area, with the result of nice skin with very little effort. KP is a pain, so hope maybe this review will help someone else...everyone's skin is different, but after much trial and error these are the things that have worked for me. Good luck!

This is a great medium strength exfoliating lotion to fight KP & Ingrown Hairs. I am prone to bad ingrowns anywhere I remove hair. I was previously using MUAC AHA Body Lotion (which was 18% AHA blend $19 for 8 oz and nearly perfect, minus the strong fragrance) and my skin was so smooth and even. However, they discontinued it. I tried the Ordinary Glycolic Toner, which was decent but not strong enough. Now finally, I am using Glytone nearly every night. It is a great product! My skin is smooth, bump free, and the PIH scars from the ingrowns are fading nicely. I started to see results within 1-2 weeks of consistent nightly use. Downside is that it is quite expensive for an 8oz product. Also, the lotion is stiff and doesn’t spread easily so you may feel the need to use more. I recommend using a couple of drops of Squalane Oil per pump to help it spread without using too much product. To finish on a positive note, the lotion is fragrance free, great for sensitive skin!
