10% Glycolic Acid + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body CreamAdvanced Clinicals 10% Glycolic Acid + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body Cream 454 g (16 oz)

Exfoliation in a moisturising cream

Rather than a scrub or a peel, this Advanced Clinicals formula puts two alpha hydroxy acids into a rich moisturising base, so exfoliating and moisturising happen in one step. It is aimed at rough, dry and uneven-feeling texture on the arms, shoulders, legs, neck and décolletage. There is no added fragrance, although the active ingredients have a natural scent that fades.

What else is in the formula

Alongside glycolic and lactic acids, the cream includes squalane, sodium hyaluronate, coconut oil and liquorice root derivative, with green tea, aloe and rosemary extracts. The velvety lotion-cream texture absorbs without a greasy finish. The 454 g (16 oz) pump jar has a removable twist-off cap so you can use every last bit.

What smoother means here

The aim is softer, more radiant-looking skin built up gradually. A slight tingle can occur at first and usually settles as skin adjusts, but starting slowly matters more than using it often.

How to use

Apply a small amount to dry or damp, cleansed skin and massage until absorbed. It is intended for use once daily, in the evening. Start every other night and increase only if your skin tolerates it.

Before you choose

Sunburn alert: this product contains alpha hydroxy acids, which can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using it and for two weeks afterwards. Avoid using it alongside retinol or other strong exfoliating acids. It contains coconut oil. For external use only. Avoid the eyes, rinsing thoroughly with water if contact occurs, and stop use if irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
