fantastic results!
This has completely smoothed out my bumpy arms. The “strawberry” is still there, but my dermatologist has told me that there is nothing will completely take away the redness.

Details & care
What it is: A daily leave-on 12% acid peel for the body that gently resurfaces skin and enhances the benefits of your body care to follow.
Who it's for: Ideal for those with keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs, strawberry skin or discoloration.
What it does: This daily serum-in-gel helps treat and prevent common texture and tone concerns such as KP, ingrown hairs, strawberry skin and discoloration. Normally reserved for the face, a blend of 10% AHA, 1% BHA, 1% PHA and a Clinical Peeling Peptide dissolves buildup and accelerates skin's own ability to resurface and renew. Formula also holds 1% resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant, to calm skin.
How to use: Use daily. Apply to clean skin on areas where treatment is needed. Leave on. Ideal for use at nighttime. Due to the high percentage of actives, The Body Peel is sticky upon application. Mix with moisturizer for fast application and to minimize stickiness. Use sunscreen prior to sun exposure.
Pro tip: If you use The Body Retinol in your serum step, use The Body Peel 1–2 times weekly as a leave-on peeling treatment. Use The Body Retinol on remaining 5–6 days.

Doesn’t work
Have been using consistently and my arms have honestly gotten worse. I was very hopefully with this as my arms are and insecurity of mine with the bumps... but unfortunately this hasn’t help AT ALL! Very disappointing since this is not cheap

smells awful
I was looking forward to this. The smell is wicked bad. It also gave me contact dermatitis. My palms and the bottom of my feet itched for days.
Headed back to the store.

Combined with the exfoliator and Hinoki wash, my KP is vastly improved!
I read about the Body Exfoliator a few months ago on Buzzfeed and decided to give it a try. Because the KP on my upper arms was getting worse no matter what I tried, and it started popping up on the outside of my thighs, to boot.While the exfoliator alone worked well on my thighs, I was having a tougher time with the more deeply established zones on my upper arms. I am currently working through a more aggressive daily treatment on my arms of exfoliating mitt + Exfoliator + Wash + Body Peel + Moisturizer, and this has left my KP deeply improved and even starting to clear in a few small patches.Note you do not have to slather on these products - a little goes a long way. Like the Body Serum, it can be a little sticky, so you're best off using it sparingly and rubbing it in before applying moisturizer. But right now, every few days my exfoliation mitt is coming up covered in dead skin and I can see and feel the change in my KP afterwards. It may take a little bit of dedicated work if you have stubborn zones, but if the Exfoliator alone isn't working, add this in and you should see a really positive change!So yeah, you may think, "is it worth it?" Maybe in my 20's and 30's, I would have reverted to something slightly less expensive. But my middle-aged skin is loving these products and is happily incorporating them into my skincare routine!

Eases razor bumps and vitiligo
Helped make my vitiligo less noticeable and razor bumps immediately. Use sparingly as not much is needed.
