T.L.C. Glycolic Body Lotion

I really enjoyed this product and feel that it’s the best acidic lotion I’ve used so far for my KP! I was gifted SkinPhix KP lotion and loved it, but it is $50 and needed something more cost-effective. In my research I found that this glycolic acid lotion by Drunk Elephant was a 61% match of ingredients (which is as close as it was going to get) to the SkinPhix lotion I liked so much. So far, I’m really impressed. I think the key is to really exfoliate and clean the area with KP first to really open up those pores and then apply the lotion. If it helps, I’m currently using Saltairs Volcanic Sand exfoliant because in my opinion it’s an exact dupe of First Aid Beauty’s KP Scrub. Trying other glycolic acid lotions, but I think this is the best one I’ve tried so far that’s reasonably priced.

I have tried many creams for KP and find this to be the most effective by far. You do have to allow for at least 2 weeks of daily use before you see results so be patient. As a bonus, this lotion does not have a strong smell (scent is quite neutral), whereas, most ammonium lactate based lotions have too strong of a smell.

Wayne Goss, Beauty You-tube Guru ,suggested using this body lotion on the face, for a great glycolic renewal at a fraction of the cost of serums and ointments marketed for the face. I have to say, it is THE BOMB! It burns a little when you start using it, but just go easy and your skin will thank you for it. My 68-year old skin looks like I am 48.....get this stuff, youĺl thank me. (I now have my husband and son using it as well!!!)

I love the texture and the way it feels, but I wouldn’t use it if around anyone.

I'm going to be honest. The lotion is expensive and I have used many other cheaper options that work better for me. The bottle is beautiful and is much bigger than I thought it would be which was a pleasant surprise. A lot of brands like to add more plastic than product but this container uses all of the avaliable space which I applaud. The product itself is moisturizing for sure, but it's also quite sticky? When applying even just a dollop of the lotion on my hands to transfer it to my arms, I had to wash my hands to get the residue off of my hands. It also has a very peculiar sent that I am not a fan of. I do like the product but I feel like there are much cheaper options that provide similar if not the same results. Is this a revolutionary lotion? No. Is it a horrible lotion? No. Would I purchase this again? No. Would I purchase other drunk elephant 🐘 products? Yes! But this particular product wasn't my favorite.

I don't normally leave reviews but this lotion is so stunningly effective, it deserves all the praise. Applied liberally, in about six applications it has almost completely resolved postpartum KP. It goes on smooth and dries quickly. It's not greasy or tacky. Doesn't smell. Totally worth the price!

As a medical aesthetician and OTC product snob, this moisturizer is excellent! Great ingredients, makes your skin feel great without a smell and soaks in nicely!
