Description

Achieve smoother-feeling body skin with The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick. This targeted exfoliating treatment combines alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to help improve the appearance of rough texture, clogged pores, ingrown hairs and body blemishes.

The formula contains 7% glycolic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface, helping soften rough patches and improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris, commonly known as strawberry skin or chicken skin. It also contains 0.5% salicylic acid, which helps unclog pores and address congestion associated with body breakouts and ingrown hairs.

To complement its exfoliating ingredients, the stick contains 10% shea butter to nourish and condition the skin. Its solid, easy-glide format allows precise application to areas that need extra attention, without the mess of a traditional liquid exfoliant. The leave-on formula requires no rinsing.

With regular use, it can help improve the appearance and feel of rough elbows, knees, heels and bumpy skin on the arms and thighs. It may also help improve the appearance of discoloration around the underarms and bikini line.

Texture & Finish

A solid exfoliating stick designed to glide directly onto clean, dry skin. Its balm-like formula combines exfoliating acids with shea butter to help leave targeted areas feeling smoother and conditioned. It is designed as a leave-on treatment, so there is no need to rinse it off.

How To Use

1. Apply directly to clean, completely dry skin on the areas of concern.
2. Glide the stick over the affected area, avoiding broken or irritated skin.
3. Leave the product on; do not rinse.
4. Follow with a moisturising body lotion as needed.
5. Start using it two to three times per week and gradually increase frequency if your skin tolerates it.

For underarm use, allow the product to absorb for 10–15 minutes before applying deodorant. After shaving or other hair removal, wait at least eight hours before applying.

When To Use

Use in the morning or evening, beginning with two to three applications per week. Increase frequency gradually only if your skin remains comfortable.

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to treated areas that will be exposed to sunlight.

Sunflower Seed Oil

Key Benefits Focus

Smoother Strawberry Skin

Targeted Body Exfoliation

The stick format makes it convenient to apply exfoliating ingredients directly to rough elbows, knees, heels and other areas that need focused care.

Softer, Conditioned Skin

Shea butter and conditioning oils complement the exfoliating acids by helping maintain softness and reduce the feeling of dryness.

U3C Expert Tip

If you are using it for strawberry skin, start with the areas most affected, such as the upper arms or thighs. Apply consistently but avoid harsh scrubs and excessive exfoliation. Follow with a moisturiser to help keep the skin comfortable and smooth.

U3C Skin Insight

Strawberry skin can refer to different concerns, including keratosis pilaris, clogged follicles or visible dark pores after hair removal. Exfoliating acids may help improve texture and congestion, but persistent bumps, painful inflammation or ongoing irritation may need a different approach.

Important Precautions

• For external use only. This product is formulated for the body, not the face or neck.
• Patch-test before first use.
• Do not apply to broken, freshly shaved, irritated or inflamed skin.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas.
• Glycolic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen on exposed treated areas.
• Do not overuse or combine with multiple strong exfoliants on the same area.
• Discontinue use if persistent burning, redness or irritation develops.
• If you have eczema, dermatitis or are using prescription skin treatments, consult a healthcare professional before use.

U3C Recommendation

A targeted exfoliating treatment for people who want to improve rough body texture, strawberry skin, ingrown hairs and the appearance of body breakouts. Its combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and shea butter makes it a practical addition to a body-care routine when introduced gradually and paired with regular moisturizer.
