The latest product from the folks at Alpha Skin Care is their Revitalizing Body Lotion with 12% Glycolic AHA. Being extremely sensitive to new products I was apprehensive about trying this when they asked me to test it. After learning it is unscented, I agreed to give it a try – with no expectations from the company.
Being unscented to me is a must. Some products say they are unscented but still have a whiff of a scent. This lotion is totally unscented.
Besides being unscented, I look for products that are free of chemicals that often bother me, like parabens and sulfates. This is free of both.
The lotion is not watery. It’s not overly thick either.
When I first tried it I felt it might be a bit too sticky but as soon as I rubbed it in a little more it did not feel sticky. In fact, it felt velvety.
In the winter my main concern is my hands. They get dry and chapped in the cold weather. This is a complaint I hear all the time. With so many products on the market, it’s usually a try one, go onto another, then another to find the right lotion for your skin.
This lotion feels good right from the start and lasts. For dry feet I recommend applying the lotion to your feet right before you put on socks. This keeps it protecting your feet all day.
With ingredients like 12% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid and a pH balance of 3.8, if you have sensitive skin this might be a good solution for your dry skin.
It is also a “renewal body lotion” and is touted as being able to reduce dry skin and lift away dead skin leaving healthier looking and feeling skin. That’s what Glycolic Acid is meant to do. Coming from natural sugar cane, Glycolic Acid has been a popular ingredient in skincare products for awhile. It’s not a new fad ingredient. It has been tested for years.
So, the bottom line is, if you have sensitive skin you might want to give this lotion a try. It is cruelty free (very important) as well as being hypoallergenic. And it won’t break the bank like many skin care products.
We are all particular about what we put on our skin. If you are looking to try a product to help reduce the dryness of winter skin, or if you just want to test a different body lotion for a change, this is a good option.
Do I recommend it? Well, I’ve tried it, it makes my hands softer and I do think my skin looks smoother. So yes, I do like it.
