Glycolic Acid

An alpha-hydroxy acid that works at the skin's surface to loosen built-up dead skin cells and help reveal smoother, more refined-looking skin. It is the primary AHA in the formula.

Salicylic Acid

A beta-hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate the skin and work through excess oil and build-up around pores. It makes the formula particularly relevant for rough, congested areas and visible body bumps.

Alpha-Arbutin

A targeted complexion ingredient that helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and supports a more even-looking finish.

Niacinamide

A multifunctional skincare ingredient that helps support the appearance of a more even complexion while complementing the formula's skin-conditioning and refinement focus.

Glycerin

A highly effective humectant that helps attract and retain moisture, supporting a softer, more comfortable feel after cleansing.

Panthenol

Also known as provitamin B5, panthenol helps moisturise and condition the skin, complementing the exfoliating system.

Allantoin

A skin-conditioning ingredient that helps support skin comfort and softness, particularly useful alongside an exfoliating formula.

Apply to wet skin and massage gently over the body, concentrating on areas where you want to improve the appearance of rough texture, bumps or uneven skin.

Rinse thoroughly.

Start by using 1–2 times per week, then increase gradually if your skin is comfortable with the formula.

Follow with KEM Body Creme to moisturise and condition the skin.

Using with KEM Brightening Body Wash?

What is AHA Smoothing & Salicylic Body Wash designed to help with? +

It is designed for body skin that feels rough, uneven or congested. The combination of glycolic acid and salicylic acid helps exfoliate and refine the skin, while alpha-arbutin and niacinamide support a more even-looking complexion.

Can I use it on body bumps? +

Yes. Salicylic acid is particularly useful for areas prone to build-up and congestion, while glycolic acid helps refine the skin's surface. Together, they make this a targeted choice for rough, bumpy-looking body skin.

How often should I use it? +

Start with 1–2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin tolerates it well. Because the formula contains both AHA and BHA, using it more frequently is not necessarily better.

Can I use this with KEM Brightening Body Wash? +

Yes, but not in the same routine or on consecutive days. If you want to use both products in the same week, leave at least 4 days between them. They are both active exfoliating body washes, so there is no need to layer them together.

Can I use it after shaving? +

It is best to avoid using the product immediately after shaving, particularly on areas that feel sensitive or irritated. Allow the skin to settle before using an exfoliating body wash.
