How is Paula's Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA different from the 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel? Do I need both?
The two major differences between these exfoliants are that the Skin Revealing Body Lotion is in a creamy moisturizing base while the 8% AHA Gel has a fluid, gel base. The concentration of glycolic acid is the other main difference, with the Skin Revealing Body Lotion containing 10% AHA and being preferred for use from the neck down.
A lesser difference is the pH of the products. Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA has a pH of 3, which makes it a bit more acidic and penetrating than the 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel, whose pH value is 3.5. The reason for the lotion's lower pH is to offer slightly enhanced exfoliation to dry, thickened, or uneven body skin.
Can I use Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA on my face?
Probably. If you have used AHA products (formulated in an acidic pH range to allow for exfoliation) on your face without incident, you should be able to use Skin Revealing Body Lotion too.
I am using Renova/Retin-A on sun-damaged body skin. Is it OK to use this with Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA?
Some physicians/dermatologists advise against using glycolic acid at the same time as tretinoin due to the potential for increased irritation and topical side effects (such as stinging or flaky skin). Other doctors feel that an AHA product enhances penetration of the tretinoin into the skin. You can experiment with both options to see which one works best for you. You may apply the tretinoin product in the evening and apply the Skin Revealing Body Lotion as part of your morning routine, followed by an effective sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher. You may also apply both at the same time, starting with the AHA and then applying the tretinoin product. If you experience increased redness, prolonged stinging, or flaking skin, discontinue using Skin Revealing Body Moisturizer over areas where tretinoin is also applied.

I am 60 so you can guess how long I have been looking for a product for rough skin (elbows, ankles, etc). I purchased the 10% AHA Skin Revealing Body Lotion and Slip Into Silk Body Lotion and within a month the results were remarkable. I started using the products all over, legs, face, arms, neck. My skin is so soft and smooth. All the redness and bumps above my knees are gone. My legs and arms look like they did many, many years ago. I would never hesitate to go without stockings or a sleeveless top. I use all your products and have since they became available. Thanks so much!
—Joan W.
I am extremely impressed with your Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA. After one week of applying every other night I have noticed a huge improvement in both appearance & texture! I'm 47, former sun & tanning bed worshipper, worn sunscreen year-round for 10 years. This lotion applies with ease & sinks in beautifully. But it has turned back the clock for me. Crepey skin is so much less noticeable, my hands especially! I will purchase this product for the rest of my life, thank you!
—Deborah L.

I started using this product 2 years ago and it has made a huge difference to me. My legs were always dry and flaky and itchy, especially in the winter. Now, my legs are smooth and silky! I started using it instead of a night cream on my arms, neck and chest. It is incredible how great my skin looks now.

Great for my son's Keratosis Pilaris
I bought this lotion for me to use. It works great for my body acne and flaky areas. My son has keratosis pilaris, small white bumps all over his arms. I started having him apply this lotion after his shower and the bumps are starting to disappear. Plus it has cleared a wart that we have tried to get rid of for years, not months, years! This is a great lotion.
—Michelle
More than I expected
I have only been using this product for about 5 weeks but I definitely notice the difference. The big surprise is how great it works on acne!! I have spent hundreds of dollars on over-the-counter stuff for my daughter and after just one use the difference was amazing! What a great product!
—Nan Boisclair
No stretch marks
While I was pregnant I applied this cream every day on my tummy. This is the only product I used during pregnancy. Unbelievable, but I did not get even a one stretch mark on my tummy. My tummy looks same as before pregnancy!

Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA
This product is greasy and slick, making spreadability easy. It is highly moisturizing and exfoliates very well. Highly recommended!
—Ryan
Skin Revealing Lotion (10% AHA)
This product is fantastic! I don't normally have sensitive skin, but whatever I would use to moisturize my neck/check area always caused a rash. Since I've been using the Skin Revealing Lotion, my skin has healed and looks younger. Keep up the good work!
—Victoria Faylor
So far, so good!
The lower part of my legs is really dry and this is great for that area. I also get really dry patches in the winter and look forward to using this for those areas as well as my decollete (lots of sun damage). It is kind of pricey, so I'll also use the less expensive Dove Proage too (which has a really strong smell but really works well), so I'm giving it a "4" due to price. I also want to say the customer service is amazing. I received the order super-fast, then there was a leak at the bottle seal. I immediately called the customer service number and they sent out a new bottle right away! They even included some free samples.
—Karen
No Thanks
This "fragrance-free" product smells like grammar school glue. You know, the white, tacky stuff. On application, that's what this feels like, too. Paula has many fine products, but this is one I would not buy again.
—Maia Krache
So far, so good
Product is pricey. My skin is soft (no different than usual), no change in color/texture. I did notice was it brought out the color in one tattoo (it was faded). It kinda tingles/itches at first. It spreads wonderfully and absorbs quickly.
—Danielle
Works Great But Smells Funny!
This product works great just as other reviewers say, but I don't like the smell at all. If you can get over the smell, its a must have!

Love it!
This is the first time I ever used a body lotion with AHA's in it and was supprised to even find one. It makes my skin so soft and helps with the dry skin on my feet and is also a good skin prep before applying a self tanner!! I love Paula's products and books, I hope she never stops selling them and I hope she does not get rid of all her makeup products! That would make me sad:(
—Crystal
Not good for acne
It has a nice texture and is good for moisturizing, but not for acne. I started using it when the 2% BHA body lotion was discontinued (which worked great for body acne). Unfortunately, this product does not work for that purpose.
Customer Care: We regret that our product was not what you may have expected. Our Customer Service will be more than happy to assist you in finding another product that will work better for you. Please note that Paula's Choice also has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee return policy within 60 days of purchase.

Super-soft Feet
I use this on my feet before going to the gym. Lotion makes pedicure exfoliation easier and my feet feel fresh and soft.
—Elizabeth
comes with one little drawback
I love love love this lotion, its not greasy at all yet super moisturizing, only thing i don't like is the bottle. It makes it so hard to get the lotion out. It'll be better if it comes in a tube or a pump. Other than that- superb lotion.
—sheena dhillon
Great for keratosis pilaris
The moisturizer keeps the KP in check. It at times stings my (unbroken) skin; if you have sensitive skin you may want to try products with lower AHA percentages.
—Alessandra
PLEASE make this in a HUGE size...
THE BEST product, hands down, I have ever used on my 60-yr-old dry, flaky, crepey, spotted, rough skin. Takes only a few applications before significant changes take place. I'm a big girl a use this daily for soft, silky, firm glowing skin. The natural fragrance is great as it does not interfere with a perfume.
—n
Terrible odor -- but good product
This product works great to smooth skin, but smells awful! Can't you put some kind of natural fragrance in it to mask that bad smell?
—Suzanne Williams
Miracle Product
I use this on my scaly, crepey, dry legs and it does wonders. My only complaint is the smell. Just a touch of fragrance would be good for this product.
—Judy Chen
Skin Revealing Lotion AHA 10%
The best !!! I used to buy AlphaHydrox but can no longer find it in Canada. I like this better though. Does not leave a sticky feeling.
—Cathy Tessier
Good for sun damage
This is a very good lotion to help sun damaged skin, especially neck and chest areas. The smell others have talked about probably comes fron the AHA in the lotion. Would be nice if a light, natural fragrance were added.
—angela warren
only one bad feature
This is a great product. It makes my legs so smooth and silky. It's a bit sticky when first applied but the stickiness doesn't seem to last however it has an unpleasant smell. A fresh clean smell would make this product more appealing.
—Elizabeth Fletcher
Love the Product, Hate the Container
You simply cannot squeeze out a small amount out of this container. At this cost, you should be able to measure the amount you want to use. Please see if you can remedy this. Product works well, similar to Amlactin XL (also pricey).
—Elizabeth Alexander
Can't Get Past the Smell
This product may not contain fragrance, but it has a very unpleasant smell that does not dissipate with time. I put it on before I went to bed and it was just as strong when I woke up the next morning. I cannot comment to its efficacy because after 2 days of use, I had to stop using it. I recommend to anyone who wants to try this product, order a sample or two first.

Not impressed
I am new to Paula's Choice products and I was really excited to try this lotion....I really am not seeing a difference in my skin....

Mostly Good
Seems to be doing a decent job exfoliating. I do agree with other reviewers that the product odor is not great and that getting the product out of the bottle can be a challenge. Also, since it can be used on all parts of the body including the face it would be nicer if it was not so greasy and heavy.
Customer Care Response: Thank you for the feedback. The information you have provided will be helpful to Paula and her team. While there are no plans to change the formula at this time, our body moisturizers will be transitioning into pliable tubes starting later this year or early next. Please contact our Customer Service Team via Live Chat, email or phone if you need any further assistance with this product.
—Laura
excellent
I am shocked to see all of the mediocre to negative reviews of this product. Yes, it does have a slight, neutral smell, but it's so faint as to almost be unnoticeable. I have been using this product almost every day for a couple of years (I'm in my mid 30's), and I think it maintains and promotes beautiful skin. I also have acne-prone skin, and it keeps that in check, too (which is surprising given how emollient the product is). Indeed, I would personally recommend this to people who have sensitive, acne prone skin--with the caveat that, yes, each person's skin is ultimately unique; but given how picky my own is, and the fact that this product actually prevents problems, I'd recommend giving it a try. And for people just wanting exfoliation, this is probably about as perfect as it gets.
—DG
Cant get past the smell
I really want to like this lotion!! i have no problem with the smell of any of your other products, but this one i just cant get past! Usually if i find a product offensive in odor the smell usually goes away once you put it on. It does not seem too with this lotion i can smell it all day! :( feels nice though haha
Customer Care: Please call our Customer Service for assistance with finding a product that will work for you. Also, please note that we have a 60-day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee return policy.

great for hands
This keeps my ragged cuticles in check. It's also great on upper arms and chest. I really like this.
