The Reversa skin smoothing body lotion contains 10% glycolic acid, a skin-penetrating alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) scientifically proven to stimulate exfoliation and promote the renewal of skin cells. By increasing cell turnover, it allows healthier cells to rise to the surface of the skin more quickly, giving the skin a healthier, younger-looking appearance. With the greatest concentration of AHA permitted in a dermocosmetic product, the Reversa skin smoothing body lotion is the answer to treating keratosis pilaris. Its moisturizing ingredients and emollients— vitamin E, panthenol (provitamin B5) and glycerin—increase the skin's moisture level and help prevent dryness.Exfoliates to eliminate dry skin patches and rough skinMoisturizesMinimizes ingrown hairsImproves the appearance of dry, keratosic skinSmoothes calluses on the hands, elbows, knees and feetIdeal complement to apply self-tanning products more evenly

What is keratosis pilaris

Commonly known as “chicken skin”, keratosis pilaris presents itself as rough bumps most frequently scattered on the upper arms, thighs and sometimes buttocks. KP is hereditary and affects between 50 to 80% of teenagers and 4 out of 10 adults, involving more women than men. The bumpy skin is due to an abnormal keratinization of the upper portion of the hair follicles and consists of trapped, dead skin cells. The tiny bumps are visible on the skin's surface as red or white pimples, hence the nickname chicken skin.
