This is saving me. I have struggled with body acne (my whole back, especially my shoulders, between my breasts, my butt, and sometimes the sides of lower sides of my back) since I hit puberty... so it's been almost 8 years now. It has gotten progressively worse as I got older, though it has leveled off by now. I would not say it is severe my any measure... somewhere between mild and moderate, with fluctuations. The thing is...it is consistent and stubborn. I was originally using the 10% lotion for the face all over my back and chest which cleared me up. AHA is the first thing to ever work on my body acne. When I saw this product on their website, I jumped and immediately ordered it. I am SO pleased it has no smell to it, and it is extremely moisturizing and effective. For full effects, it does take about two months, with definite improved in the first 2-3 weeks. The only thing that irks me is that it never truly dries on your skin... it kind of remains moist and a little bit tacky all the while you have it on. I don't care. I'll take that over embarrassing and self-esteem crushing scabbed over blemished and red marks all over my body. The price is right, too. NOTE: Please don't listen to the negative reviews below, this has been reformulated since those reviews were written and is much improved, I'm sure of it! Don't let it discourage you from how great this product is.

I wanted to add a new review for the improved version of this lotion. I've been looking for a good AHA body lotion due to icky texture on my arms, and dry elbows no matter what kind of torturous process I put them through to soften them up (I've been in pain many-a-time from taking a pumice stone to them with only one-day of softness to show). I was hesitant b/c the reviews below talked about the awful sour smell which I am familiar with from other AHAs. However, the new scent is great. It's VERY light, something I would almost classify as unscented. It smells almost identical to CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion IMO. In addition, the product itself works great. My skin texture has been steadily improving, and my elbows are actually soft now, and not dry and scaly anymore. I wish this came with a pump b/c I don't particularly like the squeezy bottle for a lotion generally, and this one is a bit stiff to squeeze...you either use a lot of force and get a ton of product or nothing; but I can always transfer it to a different bottle I suppose. Product is definitely worth it, and its much cheaper than other high quality and high % AHA lotions out there.

This review is for the newest Silk Wrap Body Lotion, 12% Glycolic acid. It smells GREAT! Unlike earlier reviews that referred to previous versions of this product, the company has really worked on the scent and it is wonderful: light, soft, just a bit floral.

I'll update after I've used this for awhile (just got it today in the mail). But, I'm hopeful because other AHA products in their line are awesome!

The brand has changes packaging and lables from time to time, so just know this review is for the 10% AHA body lotion.
Pros: My skin is as smooth and even textured as it ever could be. Its a good one step moisturize and exfoliate, instead of scrubbing for hours in the shower with a grainy scrub and then getting out and slathering with body butter. I used to have bumpy skin on my hips and the upper parts of my arms and now they are perfectly smooth.
Cons: Smells like vinegar. So I only wear it at night, and that's fine because one application per day is more than enough.

This has made my skin so incredibly soft on my body & because it cleared up some bumps on my upper legs & upper arms; I decided to try using it on my face. I apply this on my face twice per day, then apply my regular moisturizer & eye cream. I've been using it on my face for a few weeks & I am loving the results. As I was hoping, my blemishes (I always have at least one or two on my face) are so much better! I have a few that are going away & no new ones have surfaced. It makes my skin so smooth & has been helping clear my acne. I have dry skin and it has not made me dry at all. In fact, I think it may be clearing away my dry flakes that I usually have in my tzone area because I haven't had much of since using. I do use the Retinol ResQ once or twice a week at night instead of this, just to help combat the future wrinkles & since I bought that along with this gem. I ordered online from the official website, was on sale buy one at regular price, get one for $1.00. You can catch this on sale periodically. Stock up when you can. The smell is a bit floral/perfume but it doesn't bother me. I tried the Souffle but it stung a bit & I didn't see results like I do with the silk wrap. I stopped using this all over my body, but I do use it daily on my upper back of arms & chest & upper back. I have not broken out or had bumps in those areas either, like I normal do have a few here and there. This may be HG for me...must give a couple more months to know for sure. I've gone through one whole bottle & am at the top of my second. continued >>

I bought this but only made it halfway through the bottle because the smell is so sickening. Honestly, it smells very "old lady." I don't know how else to describe it. I'm sure it's very effective, and I only put it on right before bed, but I couldn't stand it so much I couldn't even finish it. Too bad.

This product is probably very effective, but I'll never know: The AquaNet smell is completely overpowering. I've even tried mixing it with better-smelling lotions, but what a hassle (and it doesn't work entirely well-- I just hate to think of wasting money on this abysmally stinky product!)

I discovered this little gem thanks to MUA. I could not find it locally so ended up ordering it from alphahydrox.com. This is a 7% lactic acid product. I alternate between this and Alpha Hydrox 10% body lotion every couple of months. In the winter, I apply this and then another body lotion on top. It is an effective exfoliant at an affordable price. Update: I have been using this daily as body lotion for the last four months. For the first time in 17 years, my husband said that my skin looks nice! My skin is smoother and more even toned. This softens my skin like no other product. *love* it.

LOVE this! It softens my skin like no other. I use this along with their moisurizing body wash and the combo is not to be believed! At middle age I feel like I have baby skin again. I don't care much for the slight smell. But it is easy to overlook compared to what this does for my skin, and it isn't overwhelming. I have switched over from Neutrogena, so that ought to give you an idea of how I feel about this lotion. Plus, unlike Neutrogena, this is not heavy. The AHA it contains also slightly exfoliates.

I buy this all the time--it is a beauty staple. It works so well, but it smells medicine-y. Great for patches of naturally-darker skin, like elbows, knees, and ankles, in addition to keeping feet soft & sun-exposed areas unblemished. I have used it on my face a few times & always had a break-out afterwards. continued >>

I have been plauged by red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember. I have tried so many products, including prescription lotions. One day I was browsing in an outlet store when I came across this lotion. It was only 99 cents so I decided to give it a try. It has worked so well!! My arms are completely smooth and as the days go by my arms look better and better. I will definetly repurchase.
Edit: This smoothed me ...but that is it. I thought my arms would continue to improve, but they stopped improving. It did nothing for the redness. I will not repurchase.

I love this stuff and it works! Just don't use it after shaving. Great pump bottle and lasts a long time.

I love this but it stinks like old lady Aqua Net. It's a damn shame too because otherwise this lotion rocks and it's dirt cheap. it would be a 5 but but the stinch is so bad I have had to knock 4 off!

I love Alpha-Hydrox lotions. Mild scent that fades. Does a great job of moisturizing and exfoliating. I used to get ingrown hairs easily -- and this product has eliminated the problem. Sinks in and leaves my skin smooth and soft. I've used this for years and would never stop!

This is my favorite body lotion, so I was quite upset when Ulta stopped carrying it. Then I decided to check the alpha hydrox website, and there it was! I was able to order it. I have wondered why more people don't rave about this product, as it is quite remarkable. It has a light, pleasant, almost musky scent (instead of the typical floral/fruity obnoxious scent in most lotions) and goes well under almost any fragrance. It absorbs quickly and is not greasy. If you use it for several days in a row, your skin becomes amazingly smooth, not to mention well hydrated. I would not, however, use this on legs right after shaving. The price is reasonable ($9.49 for a large bottle). Contains 7 percent AHA, and really does exfoliate. Highly recommended.

I found this at the .99 cent store and cannot believe the results!!In a week, the bumps on the backs of my arms disappeared, and my skin looks and feels better than it has in years. I use it every other day and the results are simply mazing! Doesn't smell great, but the scent fades quickly.

I hate the smell, love the results.

i use this once a week and it makes my skin so smooth it's unreal;) and, it doesn't sting (unless you use it right after shaving...ouch;(
