This body moisturizer is formulated to address the characteristics of keratosis pilaris, often described as chicken skin, as well as rough or bumpy skin texture. Developed by dermatologist Dr. Shah, the 7.7 fl oz lotion combines exfoliating and moisturizing actions in a single step.

The formula includes retinol, which supports skin cell turnover, along with urea and lactic acid. These ingredients work as chemical exfoliants to help soften and smooth the surface of the skin by gently loosening dead skin cells that can clog hair follicles. Urea also functions as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. Additionally, ceramides are included to help reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and maintain hydration.

This moisturizer is designed for use on areas commonly affected by keratosis pilaris, such as arms, thighs, and buttocks. The lotion texture is intended to spread easily and absorb without leaving a greasy residue. Regular application may help reduce the appearance of bumps and improve overall skin smoothness over time.

The product is suitable for those seeking a targeted treatment for rough, bumpy skin, but it is not a medicated formula. Because it contains active exfoliating ingredients and retinol, users may want to start with less frequent application to allow the skin to adjust, especially for those with sensitive skin. Sun protection during daytime use is recommended due to the presence of exfoliating acids and retinol, which can increase sensitivity to UV exposure.

The formulation focuses on a balance between exfoliation and moisture retention, making it a practical option for maintaining smoother skin texture without overly stripping the skin barrier. The price point is positioned as affordable for a dermatologist-formulated product of its size.
