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.

Have used for years. Great product!!! So glad I can purchase from Amazon!!!

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!

PROS:Reduced the feel, appearance and presence of Keratosis Pilaris (KP/Chicken Skin/Red Bumps) by 80% after two weeks of once daily use. After two months of use I would say I remain stable at 80% reduction. Should I use twice a day the reduction may be greater but with more side-effects.Smooth, lightweight and easy to apply. I don't require additional moisture on arms but do follow up with additional moisture on legs.Little to no scent.No Dyes.Three pumps thoroughly covers entire body so I estimate one bottle should last several months.Quality pump for ease of dispensing.CONS:More expensive than some other options online or at drugstore.Will cause a significant stinging sensation if it gets into hangnails, paper cuts, etc. Bottle says it doesn't recommend using after shaving.May cause significant stinging, redness, flakiness and irritation depending on how much and how frequently used or if skin is not used to chemical exfoliation (vs. physical exfoliation like body scrub) or used to this product strength (this contains 17% Glycolic Acid). Adjust amount and frequency of use to help skin adjust to Glycolic Acid but avoid side-effects.TIP/NOTE: It is important to make certain that customers do their research and buy from a reputable merchant so they are not getting a knockoff/potentially dangerous item. If you can't find one, know that Glytone sells on their website and sometimes local dermatologists do.IN A NUTSHELL: I really like this product and will continue to use in the foreseeable future. I have tried many KP treatments over the last 30 years including but not limited to LacHydrin, Paula Choice 2% BHA Liquid, AmLactin (various versions), U-Lactin and prescription Differin/Adapalene 0.3%, all with varying results. Some reduced redness but not bumps, others reduced bumps but not redness, some had a bad odor but were easy to apply, etc. I believe Glytone to be the best overall when I consider all factors; Glytone is the most effective. Should it be discontinued I would use U-Lactin again.
