Vogue Names Six Best AHA Body Lotions, from First Aid Beauty to Skinfix

Vogue has highlighted six body lotions that blend chemical exfoliants with hydrating ingredients. According to dermatologists Tiffany Libby, MD, and Mamina Turegano, MD, alpha hydroxy acids are effective in removing dead skin cells. For those with dry or sensitive skin, lactic acid is a milder option, whereas glycolic acid is more effective for addressing roughness and hyperpigmentation. The top choice is First Aid Beauty KP Smoothing + Brightening Body Lotion ($36), which contains 10% lactic acid. AmLactin Daily Nourish 12% Lactic Acid Lotion ($16) is recommended for sensitive skin, while Paula's Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA ($35) is ideal for discoloration. Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Body Lotion ($18) is best for dryness. Glytone Exfoliating Body Lotion is effective for keratosis pilaris, and Skinfix AHA/BHA Renewing Cream is suited for mature skin. Libby cautions against excessive use and stresses the importance of sunscreen.
