SMOOTH SKIN STARTS IN THE SHOWER.

Meet your new shower essential: a dual-action body scrub that does more than just exfoliate — it transforms rough, bumpy, dull skin. Powered by 10% glycolic acid, this formula breaks down built-up keratin and dead skin cells, while finely-ground volcanic pumice buffs away dry flakes to instantly reveal softer, smoother skin.

Designed to tackle those hard-to-treat spots — like keratosis pilaris, body breakouts, and even areas prone to ingrown hairs — this scrub works on multiple levels. And thanks to sodium hyaluronate, it hydrates while it exfoliates, so your skin feels replenished, not stripped.

Created by Dr. Pimple Popper. Body-glow approved. Add to your routine and get glowing.

  • Dual-action exfoliation: chemical (glycolic acid) + physical (pumice)
  • Softens keratin buildup and unclogs pores
  • Smooths rough, dry, bumpy skin — especially arms, thighs, and back
  • Helps prevent ingrown hairs and improve texture over time
  • Hydrates and soothes with sodium hyaluronate
  • Gentle enough for regular use, tough enough to deliver results

Glycolic Acid Body Scrub is part of the Body Smoothing System.

Glycolic Acid Body Lotion

Exfoliate and lock in moisture to smooth and soften


From Sandra Lee, MD

AKA Dr. Pimple Popper

It’s very important to not only exfoliate your face, but also your body. I recommend using a gentle AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) like glycolic acid – it’s an extremely effective ingredient to help smooth dry, rough, bumpy skin.


INGREDIENT

Glycolic Acid


DEFINITION

A powerhouse exfoliating AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that effortlessly breaks up and sweeps away dead skin build up. As the smallest molecule size of all the AHA’s, glycolic acid is able to penetrate deep into skin to really get the job done.

USES

Exfoliates skin's dull outer layers to minimize the look of fine lines, even tone, smooth and soften texture.

Pumice


DEFINITION

A lightweight powder made from ground volcanic rock that's been used in skincare for thousands of years.

USES

Exfoliates and polishes dull, rough body skin, and can even lightly remove excess hair.

INGREDIENT

Sodium Hyaluronate


DEFINITION

A type of hyaluronic acid (a humectant found naturally in the body) that's been stabilized to protect from oxidation. Penetrates deeper than hyaluronic acid due to its smaller molecular weight.

USES

Penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin to hydrate, support collagen, and smooth the look of lines and wrinkles.

Glycolic Acid Body Scrub

Customers said this glycolic acid scrub effectively treats bumpy skin, keratosis pilaris, and ingrown hairs. "Within a few days of use, the bumps I've had on my legs for years started diminishing." Many report immediate smoothness and long-term results. Some noted a recent formula change reduced grittiness and effectiveness.

This is my first time

This is my first time purchasing the new formulation of this body scrub, and unfortunately, I find that it does not do nearly as good of a job exfoliating as the original formulation. I'm disappointed I ordered 2, since it's not working the way I'm accustomed to. Won't purchase again.

The formula has changed since

The formula has changed since I used to get it at Target. I loved the old formula. It smelled like how I imagine rich people smell. It also seemed more abrasive, but in a good way. I also noticed that it used to say it was not tested on animals but now it doesn’t say that. My fault for not double checking that it was still cruelty free, but I wouldn’t have bought it if I had known that was the case.To top it all off, there are no refunds (I purchased the glycolic lotion to try and I can’t stand the smell). Still a fan of Sandra Lee, but won’t purchase her products again.

I had bought this before but the bottle was different and the product as well. I guess it was a formula change because it is definitively not the same product. The previous formula worked almost instantly, this has yet to show any signs of working.

Not the same consistency as

Not the same consistency as it used to be. This new formula is more like a lotion with small grains, the old formula had more grit and larger grains, you actually felt like it was scrubbing the dead skin. Their old formula helped me so much with my ingrown hairs, and this new formula is not rough enough. I thought they were just doing a rebranding, but they completely changed everything. I also don’t love that I can’t buy their products anymore in Target :weary:.

This was one of my all time favorite products. I needed a new bottle and got a few to be gifts for friends this Christmas but was disappointed to find the product is completely different. I thought it was just a rebranding of the packaging but the scrub itself has been changed. It barely feels like it exfoliates now. Both the scrub and the lotion used to have a fresh sent but now smell like a chemical. Really bummed the formulas have been changed.

I’m 73 years old and the skin on my forearms is thin. It sometimes gets dry and bumpy. Since I have been using the Glycolic Acid Body Scrub and Glycolic Acid Body Lotion my forearms are smooth and moisturized. I recommend both.
