The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick — 7% Glycolic + Salicylic, Fragrance-Free for Rough, Bumpy Skin

Designed to target common body-texture concerns, The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick combines chemical exfoliants with nourishing emollients in a no-rinse solid format. The formula blends 7% glycolic acid to loosen surface dead skin, salicylic acid to penetrate and clear pores, and shea butter to soften and comfort skin immediately after application. Fragrance-free and cruelty-free, it’s presented in a glide-on stick for precise, mess-free treatment of rough patches, keratosis pilaris (KP), and areas prone to ingrowns.

How does this stick smooth rough, bumpy skin?

The glycolic acid works on the outermost layers of skin to accelerate shedding of dead cells, which visibly refines texture over time. Results build with consistent use; the stick format encourages targeted application to stubborn patches without affecting surrounding skin.

• 7% glycolic acid for surface exfoliation and texture improvement
• Solid applicator lets you treat elbows, thighs, and arms precisely
• Visible smoothing with regular, weekly-to-daily use depending on tolerance

Will it help with ingrown hairs and breakouts on the body?

Salicylic acid in the formula helps loosen debris inside pores and around hair follicles, reducing the likelihood of clogged follicles and ingrown hairs. Combined with glycolic’s surface action, the two acids create a complementary approach to both preventing and improving body breakouts.

• Salicylic acid penetrates oily pores to help clear blockages
• Exfoliation reduces dead-skin buildup that traps hairs
• Ideal for post-shave or waxing areas prone to bumps

How do I use the stick safely in my routine?

The solid stick is designed for easy, precise application—glide directly across dry or slightly damp skin on areas of concern. This no-rinse formula is suitable for AM or PM routines; start with 2–3 uses per week and increase frequency as tolerated, and always follow with sunscreen on exposed areas when used in the morning.

• Apply directly to target areas—no cotton or rinse required
• Begin slowly (a few times weekly), then increase if skin tolerates
• Use daily SPF on treated, sun-exposed skin to prevent sensitivity

What does the stick feel like and how does it comfort skin?

Although it contains acids, the formula includes shea butter to add immediate softness and a soothing finish after application. The texture glides on smoothly from the solid stick, leaving skin feeling conditioned rather than overly stripped.

• Shea butter provides nourishing, immediate softness
• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk
• Solid format reduces spill and offers controlled coverage

Who is this for: The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is intended for anyone wanting to address rough or bumpy body texture, keratosis pilaris-like bumps, post-shave ingrown hairs, or body breakouts. It’s formulated for all skin types, including skin that’s sensitive to fragrance, but users new to chemical exfoliants should patch-test and introduce the product gradually. For best results, use consistently as part of a broader skincare routine that includes sun protection when treated skin is exposed.
