complete junkie for this
This is my number 1 most must have product bar none. So sad right now that it's sold out until June, I want to hyperventilate because I'm likely to run out before then.
I use this on my underarms, legs and bikini line after epilating to keep the ingrowns at bay (nothing has ever worked better) and it keeps the KP on my arms under control in addition to gently exfoliating every day so that my skin is always self tan ready. Sometimes I mix it with my self tanner and just apply, which gives me amazingly smooth and non streaky results. My skin is incredibly post-Accutane dry and I live in an extremely dry cold climate, so my skin still needs more moisture than this by itself, but I just top it with Olay Quench and/or a very hydrating sunscreen and I'm good. Please up your stock levels, because I keep telling all my friends about this too and am slowly converting all my close girlfriends to the Paula way of life. Customer Care Response: Thank you for such a glowing review! We love hearing feedback from our customers and are glad to hear this has worked so well for you! We are expecting the Weightless Body Treatment to be available again in June. If you would like we are more than happy to notify you once they are in stock. Please feel free to contact our customer care team so we can assist you further. We are always happy to help!

AMAZING!
I absolutely looove this lotion. It is the ONLY thing that I've found that absorbs into my skin and doesn't leave my skin sticky in the South Florida summer humidity. My ONLY complaint about this is the bottle. I've bought two of these, both of which have had cracks right next to where the lotion is supposed to come out of. So, it's been a big mess to use the product when it comes out of two different holes. Please fix the packaging! I will buy this forever.

Love this stuff!
I have acne on my face and keratosis pilaris on my thighs, and this product has been a big help with both issues. I've tried the other Paula's Choice 2% BHA products intended for facial use, and I much prefer the texture and finish of this product. It's very lightweight with a matte finish and I really can't tell that there's anything on my skin. It also seems to be a bit stronger and more effective than the other BHAs.

Miniature KP reducer
I had so much hope in this prodect, I even bought 3 bottles. I used it for about 2 months and saw little difference. The bumps on my legs were slightly reduced, but the redness is definitely still there.
I'm disappointed, but at least my kp is a tiny bit better. Customer Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review.

Didn't work for me :(
I have put off writing this review, hoping in vain that this product would work for the KP that I have on my upper arms. I have been using the lotion daily for over 6 months, I bought 3 bottles because I know it can take a long time to see results regarding KP, and I wanted to give it a real shot. Although I am happy that some of you have seen improvements, I cant say the same. I am willing to try anything to lessen the appearance on my upper arms. I will add that I have been using and loving PC products for years and have gotten many people to switch to PC, this product however leaves me disappointed.

I like it
Of all the PC product I bought, I actually liked this one the best. For a fragrance free product, this actually smell quite nice. Fresh and clean, is what I would describe it without being soapy. The lotion is light and absorbed quickly. Too bad I am just so lazy to put it on! I am using to treat my KP, the barely there result is probably due to the lack of diligence on my behalf, but the skin there does feel smoother and this stuff is also great when I have an itch from something and my skin turns red, this lotion just calms it down.

Must Have for KP
I've had KP for as long as I can remember, and I've found that Paula's Choice Weightless Body Treatment is by far the most effective at controlling it (and I've tried tons of products and prescription medicines). You definitely have to use it regularly (at least once a day for me), and it works best underneath a great body moisturizer. No product can completely erase KP, but this body treatment is quite effective at lessening it. Plus it just feels great to put on, your skin will feel soothed immediately. I also find it's great for dry/cracked feet and hands, as well as any body acne (and as a spot treatment for the face). Highly recommended.
—Laura
A Keeper!
I got this lotion for my chest and upper back, as I tend to have tiny, but numerous breakouts there. The first week or so, it didn't get any better. It might have even seemed to get worse. But two weeks in, my skin is clear. So happy with this product. I do wish it didn't have that cucumber or melon scent. I know it's natural, but since I stopped using fragrances in skin care, my nose seems to be more sensitive to them. It doesn't linger for long though, so I'll get used to it.
—LCD
It exfoliates, but do not expect a miracle.
I have mild KP on my upper arms and legs. I was so hopeful about this product. Now, I have been using this for almost 2 months, but have had no noticeable reduction of KP. I admit though this product is an Okay exfoliating cream. Customer Care Response: Thank you for taking the time to review this product.

Bruce-again
This is an update for the 2@ BHA Body Treatment. I last posted after using this product for a couple weeks to relieve Keratosis Pilaris. I posted a favorable comment. I thought after another week that maybe it wasn't working so well. IT WORKS!!! After a couple months I have also bought this for my adult daughter who has the same KP-it is genetic. I've bought about five tubes. I use it almost daily. I bought one of those rubbery back applicators so I can get it to the hard to reach spots on my back. Red spots are gone. Bumps are gone. Skin is smooth. TRULY AMAZING product.
—Bruce
Dissapointed
When I heard of Paula's Choice I was so excited to use the products. I ordered the skin revealing body treatment and lotion and also the redness relief. I have read the reviews and heard great things. I am sad and dissapointed to say they have not worked for me one bit in the two weeks I have used them. I also got a sample of the shaving gel which I did not like either. I wish I didn't spend my money on yet another product that has not helped me. :( Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear this product did not produce more favorable results for you. While our BHA body lotion does work for many consumers, we understand that each person will respond differently. We will credit you for the product but we do suggest using the product for a few more weeks to see how well your skin will ultimately respond.

Bye-bye Tinea Versicolor! :)
I have been thru so much trying to cure my tinea versicolor (Rx and home remedies) and nothing has worked like Salacylic acid!!! So this stuff is awesome, i just put it on my arms, back and chest and it clears it after a couple weeks or so!! so happy!!!
—Kayla
Drying, didn't reduce KP
I was so excited to try this product for the KP bumps I have on my legs. I did not expect it to work immediately, but it's been almost 2 months now and I think it's safe to say this product did not work for me. First, the bumps are still there- didn't get better or worse. Second, this was not moisturizing at all. For the first time ever, my legs are so dry the skin flakes off! On a positive note, I appreciated this product's smell (or lack there of). Unfortunately, the smell does not outweigh the lack of effectiveness. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review.

Disappointed
I really wanted to love this as I do all of Paula's other products but this lotion was a disappointment. It's entirely too drying for the face and body. I gave it some time to see if my skin simply needed an adjustment period starting out just once a day but it was too harsh and my skin is not sensitive at all. I'm not sure why this product is described as "hydrating" in the description because for me it was the furthest thing from hydrating. I guess I'll have to continue on my search fro an effective BHA product. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience with this product. While the response you have indicated is not typical, we do understand that each customer is uniquely different in how they will respond to products or ingredients.

Didn't work for me
I've been using for about a month and haven't noticed a reduction in the tiny bumps on my legs. I was hoping it would be more effective. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you have not noticed better results. The amount of time it will take to see improvement really can vary from person to person and ultimately depends on the extent of the condition or concern they are trying to address as well has how they are using the products.

Great product but keep getting poor packaging
I have KP, and I use this on my arms, top of legs, and face. The product works really well. I've never found anything that works better for KP. My skin is not perfect, but much better. Although, I wonder if 2% works well, would 3% work better?? Just a thought. My complaint, though, is that the packaging is just awful. I haven't read of anyone else having this problem, but every time I order a new tube, the place where the screwy area (where the lid screws onto tube)meets the actual tube cracks and product leaks out. It took me forever to figure out exactly what was making the huge mess. My lid gets all filled with product. Now that I've figured out exactly what it is, I am storing it upside down, but I've lost so much product from this problem. This last tube has been the worst. It is just a huge sloppy mess. This isn't stopping me from ordering more. I will just start storing upside down and try putting pressure on the crack to keep anything from coming out when I squeeze. Maybe if anyone else has this problem, it might be something to look into improving. If I just keep getting unlucky and receiving the only few defective tubes, then hopefully this next order will be better. I would really like to know, though, if a BHA greater than 2% would give better results. Thanks Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We can understand your frustration and want to assure you that we have forwarded this concern to Paula and her team personally. For your inconvenience, we will have a replacement sent right away. You would have to test out a higher concentration of the BHA to see how it works for you, we don't carry a higher concentration but may consider our BHA9 which will be out late Fall to see how it works for your KP. Please contact customer care with any questions, we are happy to help.
—Trudy
Not right for me
I bought this product with high hopes based on the glowing reviews it got. I used it regularly for a month and I wasn't impressed. It did make my skin feel very smooth and soft, but it didn't do much to diminish the bumps. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review.

No results yet
I bought this lotion thinking it would be the answer to all my prayers..I was wrong.I've had very mild KP all my life but recently it has gotten a little more noticeable.I am very self conscious about it and would just like to minimize the redness and the raised bumps.I am really disappointed with this product.I have been using it for a total of two weeks now and haven't seen any results. I'm not sure if I am supposed to combine it with the aha 10% formula..but for the time being the bha has done nothing for my KP. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review.

My Keratosis Pilaris Solution
I've had moderate KP since childhood and had only found partial relief following my doctor's advice to exfoliate and moisturize. Exfoliation combined with Eucerin or other high-emollient lotions helped minimize the bumps but I still had the embarrassing red spots.
After just 2 days of using this lotion my skin looked and felt amazing. I now alternate this with the Skin Revealing (Alpha Hydroxy) lotion without using mechanical exfoliants, and my arms are smooth and free of red spots for the first time in many years. I'm actually going to wear sleeveless shirts this summer!
I do notice my dry skin could use some more moisture with the current winter weather, so I just ordered the Body Butter.
Thanks Paula!
—Cynthia
did not help with my KP!
after using this product for a week, my KP did not respond to this formula at all! i apply it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. my skin absorbs the product very quickly but my skin doesn't even feel smooth. my KP is not severe and this didn't even help minimize it. i like the AHA body lotion alot more even though that lotion gave me scarring on the skin due to the KP but atleast it made my skin feel very smooth. Customer Care Response: Thank you for taking the time to review this product. We are sorry to hear the product did not produce more favorable results for you personally. While our Weightless Body Treatment does work for many consumers, we understand that each person will respond differently to products and ingredients.

Good lotion, but not for me.
I got this lotion hoping to treat my KP. Unfortunately it didn't do that. I used it after my morning shower and before bed. I did notice that it made my skin very smooth, almost silk like, just didn't get rid of the of the KP. I will continue the hunt for my KP solution.

Works in under a week!
This product is awesome! I've had red bumps on the back of my arms and legs for years. I've gone to dermatologists for this in the past but nothing worked. Lately I've started getting acne on my upper back. I bought this lotion and used it every morning and night on my upper back, and the backs of my arms and legs. My skin improved so much in less than week! I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and my back is completely clear. I love this product!
—Kathryn
No noticeable results
I may have purchased the wrong version of this lotion, as this has had not effect for me. I'll try another type. Thank you. (note: the smell is nice). Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you have not noticed better results. We have credited you for the product and feel free to contact customer care so that we may discuss your skin type and concerns and suggest an alternative to try.

Great product!
I probably wouldn't have given it second look, but bc the sample came with my order I gave it a try. So glad I did!! I used it on my elbows and knees, which tend to get ashy and flaky in the winter. In 3 days both areas are smooth and lovely. I applied it twice a day. I'll be ordering the full size asap.
**I did not find the smell to be unpleasant in any way. I couldn't really detect any smell, but remember there are are no added fragrances to mask the natural smell of the active ingredients. Again, I didn't find the smell at all unpleasant :) This is a great product, try it!
—heather
Love this lotion!
I first purchased this when it was on sale and came with free shipping. Reviewers had said it was excellent for KP and as I have had those pesky red bumps on the back of my arms since I was a teenager, I was willing to give it a try. Well... it's been a couple of months now, and I'm thrilled with the results! I use the lotion daily, unless I forget, and the bumps that have been with me for decades are pretty much gone.
I don't know what the deal is with people complaining about the smell--it's a faint melon scent. (I can't believe that people find it off-putting; I kind of like it, but even if you didn't it's certainly not any different than any other "lotiony" smell and dissipates quite quickly.)
I also use the treatment on my face too even though it's a body lotion, and it works great as a moisturizer for my oily t-zone. It keeps me breakout free with its only downside being that it does pill a bit under foundation if you apply the foundation right away as has been reported by other reviewers.
I love this lotion and stock up when it goes on sale every couple of months. I strongly suggest you give it a try if you deal with KP.
—Maria
Great for keratosis pilaris!
This product works great. I have only been using it about 2 weeks and am already noticing a big difference. My only complaint is that the lotion smells AWFUL. I literally have to hold my breath and turn my head the other direction when I apply it because it makes me sick to smell. But hey, if it keeps clearing up these stupid bumps I'll keep using it! Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We don't use any masking fragrances for the formulas as they are irritating for the skin but we will certainly pass along your comments to Paula and her Product Development Team. Please contact customer care with any questions.

2% BHA Unbelievable
I've had KP/bumpy skin since being a teenager. I've been to two dermatologists recently to confirm that I had KP. One suggested lotions. Like smearing on motor oil. Another had another suggestion that I've been using with little success. I went online to see what I could find and took a chance with 2%BHA. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT and I'm not some shill being paid to write this. I'm placing an order for more and ordering it for my daughter. KP is genetic and we both have it. She's in her 30's. I'm 61. IF YOU HAVE KP, BUY THIS. I use Cerave along with it, but I think Paula's Choice is what is actually ridding me of the bumps and red.
—Bruce
My back is saved!
I have extremely dry itchy skin on my back with tiny red spots all over. This has eliminated the itchiness and dryness and the spots are slowly fading. This is the only product I have ever used that has given me positive results :) Thank-you
—Jessica
I can't believe it really worked on my KP!! :)
I just received this product last week and I already can notice a Big change on my arms! even my little brother noticed as well! I'm so happy that finally i found something that work on my KP problem. after spending so much money over the counter lotions,I decided to go online and research and after reading paula's choice reviews decided to give it a try and im so glad that I did!! :) believe it or not,my red disgusting bumps are 70% gone,only in a week!! It dried my skin a little bit but that can go away with moisturizer lotion! I just ordered the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - 4 oz/120 ml and I can't wait to start using it!!This morning I called a friend to tell him that he needs to buy this cause he also suffer of KP,he told i sounded so excited over the phone that he definitely is going to buy one. thank you so much for this fabulous product! MY KP IS ALMOST GONE!!! :D

2 weeks in.....
I've noticed the bumps on my upper arms are getting smoother. I'm African American so I have hyperpigmentation of darkened pores from the Keratosis so I'm sure it'll take at least a month or more to lighten. I also plan on adding the 'Skin Revealing Body Lotion' to my regimen. For now I am pleased with the results of the Weightless BT. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear the product is working well for you. We do suggest using it a bit longer in order to see how your skin will ultimately respond. You may certainly add in the AHA body lotion just make sure to apply them at separate times. Please contact customer care with any questions, we are happy to help!

Funny odor
I rated this product as a 3 strictly because of the unappealing odor. I have used the 2% BHA Gel on my face for a few years and it works wonders for my rosacea. I recently ran out so I purchased this to use on my face and very dry hands figuring I'd kill two birds with one stone. However this smell prevents me from trying it on my face. Though it does feel good on my dry forty five year old Hands. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We will credit you for this product since you were not happy with it. We don't use any masking fragrances for the products as they are irritants but each batch can vary in intensity of the raw ingredients used. We will share your comments with Paula and her Product Development Manager in the meantime. Please contact customer care with any questions or concerns.

Gentle enough for kids!
I love this product. I started using it bc I saw how the other reviews stated it gets rid of bumps on the upper arms, which I had, and it did. Well, my kids had bumps on their upper arms. I had previously used Aveeno Baby Ezcema Therapy lotion on them but it did nothing for the bumps. So I started rubbing a little Weightless Body Treatment in after bath time. Their arms are smooth now too. They are 3 and 6 yrs old. I saw no irritation to their skin. I went ahead and finished their Aveeno for the rest of their body but now I'm using Slip into Silk for them and it's much lighter in texture. The Aveeno was too heavy for their young skin and left a filmy feel. Also, a little goes a long way. Just need to keep the sun screen on them when outdoors.
—Sandra
Great for exfoliating all over
I don't have KP like many users have written, I just wanted smoother, softer skin. I had used the AHA lotion because I have some sun damage on my chest but no breakouts anywhere. However, the AHA lotion didn't do much so I ordered this one instead. I loved the texture immediately - not as heavy as the AHA lotion - and I've noticed my skin looks and feels much smoother now. So I recommend it for general body exfoliation, especially if the AHA lotion doesn't do much for you either. Thank you Paula for developing helpful products that make me feel better about my skin.
—GCH
Great for body acne!
After trying about 5 samples of this stuff, I finally decided to quit being cheap and buy it. And I'm happy I did! It has really helped to clear some stubborn clogged pores/acne on my chest, back, and shoulders. I have also tried it on my face, it may be just a tad too creamy for my super oily skin (I'll probably stick with the BHA liquid), but it does make it smooth and soft with no irritation or dryness. It is a bit of a splurge for me at $22 bucks a tube, but there is no other product like it on the market that I'm aware of, and it is worth the money since it actually works!
—Jessica
keratosis pilaris miracle in a bottle!
I have tried soooo many lotions and creams over the years to try and get rid of these hideous bumps all over my arms and nothing was working! In fact, some of the products I used seem to actually make it worse! I have the kind of bumps that look like pimples, so it's particularly embarrassing for me wear short sleeved shorts, let alone tank tops. (and I live in FL!)The pimply bumps start at the top of my shoulders and cover my arms all the way down to the mid-forearm area, on both the back and front. Yuck!!! I started using this product along with the Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA for 6 days and the results are mind blowing!!! I can see a huge difference and it just keeps getting better and better every day! The very first thing that happened was the bumps went from looking like pimples that needed to be popped to just red dots. Now the dots are starting to disappear!!! I use this product along with the above mentioned product in the morning and again before bed. It does have a slight odor, but it goes away after a few minutes. It doesn't bother me in the least, especially since it's actually working!!! I just now purchased 2 more bottles of this and 2 more bottles of the Skin Revealing Body Lotion as I do NOT want to run out of this stuff!!!
—J.P.
LOVE this lotion!
I've been suffering from those tiny red bumps and rough patches literally for YEARS. I tried the BodyBuf and it helped some, but the problems still plagued me. On a whim, I tried Paula's lotion, and BOY am I glad I did! I could see and feel a difference in my skin in 3 days! And the bonus is the wonderful texture, feel on my skin, and the light (natural) pleasing scent it has. I just wish it came in a much larger pump style bottle! :-) It is worth every penny!
—Carol
Great lotion..but
This is a great lotion but it's just to expensive. I am a person who has dry skin and I itch from November to April every year. This lotion moisturizes my dry skin and relieves the itching without burning or feeling greasy but it's to expensive to use daily on my whole body so unfortunately I won't order it again. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback, we will share this with Paula and her team. Paula does realize that not all products fit every budget, which is why she created Beautypedia.com. We recommend visiting the Best Product section for alternatives that may meet your needs.

Great Stuff
My daughter has keretosis pularis and couldn't get rid of it. I bought her this to try and now its "Mom get me some more Im almost out!!" It works wonders..
—Lauri
Not moisturizing at all
This has worked well on my KP. I've noticed a reduction in redness, roughness and scaliness. However, it fails to moisturize long term. I find after an hour or two I need to moisturize as my skin has dried up again. I will continue to use this because it has helped with my KP issues, but I need to pair it with a richer moisturizer. Would love this if it were more moisturizing. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear the product has worked well for you! Another more moisturizing option you may try is our Slip Into Silk Body Lotion or the Beautiful Body Butter. We will send you samples of each to try and hope you like them! Please contact customer care with any questions.

Anxiously awaiting.....
When I saw Paula on Dr. Oz this week and read some of the comments on QVC about her, I decided to visit her site.
I just ordered the Weightless Body Treatment for Keratosis on my upper arms and upper back after reading all the comments. It appears people have had alot of success with achieving smoother skin and I can't wait to see the results I get!! Customer Care Response: We are happy to hear you are going to try the product and hope it works well for you! Please contact customer care with any questions.
—Mimi
Outstanding!
I will never live without this product! Ever since I started using it, I've noticed a drastic difference in the smoothness and clarity of my skin. I slather it all over my face and body daily before applying a moisturizer and my skin looks and feels very healthy. Thank you Paula for this oustanding product!!!
—John
Godsend
This is just fantastic! My sister and I have moderate KP on our arms and never really thought it can be cleared but then we tried this and needless to say, the results were just phenomenal. My arms now feel soooo soft and smooth and it's all because of this amazing product. I sometimes use this on my face too if I want a slightly more hydrating version of the BHA exfoliant, though I'm not sure if that is something Paula would recommend. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear the product has worked so well! It is certainly okay to apply it to the face as a facial exfoliant. Please contact customer care with any questions, we love to help!

KP Killer
This stuff is awesome! Over the summer I developed red, sometimes itchy, bumps all over both of my arms that would not go away, and just got worse. Through internet research, I self-diagnosed myself with KP. I bought this product on a whim, as it was the least expensive product for KP that I had found. The red bumps on my arms have literally disappeared and feel baby soft. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with a similar problem.
—Danielle
Bargain BHA for FACE!
I am a bargain shopper. I previously used the Neutrogena bha reco'd on beautypedia. That worked but for the amount I needed even at the reasonable $7 for 2 oz it got to be expensive. Next I tried the Paula's CLEAR toner with little success. I think the liquid bha was too thin for me. This Weightless Body Treatment does wonders...keeps the tiny white dots off my nose just as the Neutrogena product did, and ounce for ounce, Paula's product is much cheaper! Hope Paula maintains the same great-value price on this product.
—Catherine
One of my favourite products
This is the ultimate product for treating breakouts on my back and chest. I tried other BHA and benzoyl peroxide products (including Paula's) and this is by far the best. I found other BHA products to feel oily after a few hours. This leaves skin smooth, not tight, dry or oily. I haven't yet tried it on my face, but based on other reviews I will. I also use on arms, knees and feet to keep skin smooth.

Favorite for face & body!
I love everything about this product - I've used Paula's BHA products for 2+ years, alternating between the 2% BHA Liquid/Clear Extra Strength Toner and the 2% BHA Gel before discovering this! I purchased it for the Keratosis Pilaris on my arms, but read that it could be used on the face as well. It works just as well as Paula's other 2% BHA, but I much prefer the texture - lightly hydrating, quickly absorbed into the skin (the gel and the liquid often took a bit longer, leaving a tacky finish) without any shiny residue (a fault of the gel). This is without a doubt my favorite Paula's Choice product and I hope it's never discontinued!

Great for waxing aftercare
This is a lovely all over body treatment, particularly after waxing. I apply this (in conjunction with the skin relief treatment on my bikini line), immediately after waxing in lieu of the oil they have at the salon, and I rarely get any ingrown hairs or redness. A huge improvement over the plucked chicken look that would happen before!
—Lola
Paula's Choice is awesome.
I had this item shipped to the wrong address but, that did not stop Paula's Choice from re-shipping this item to me in a reasonable time. I can not believe how fast the item was shipped, and how it works so well (Although I have only used it for one day). I will continue shopping here and post my results after I finish this bottle!

Patience rewarded
I bought the Weightless Body Treatment and the Skin Revealing Body Lotion to deal with the tiny white pimples on my upper arms. I got both because my skin seems to do better with a combination of aha and bha products, using one in the morning and the other at night. After a little over a month of use I can finally say that I'm starting to see results. I've noticed that I haven't been getting any new pimples and the hyper-pigmentation spots from old ones is finally starting to fade. It's the middle of winter right now, but I believe that by the time summer rolls around again my upper arms will be completely clear and smooth and ready for sleeveless tops. I know some people wrote comments about seeing almost instantaneous results, but it took a little longer with me. My message to anyone who might be disappointed because they're not seeing improvement right away is they may need both an aha and a bha product, like I do, and to be patient and keep at it. It might take a while, but the results will be worth the wait.
—Susan P.
Love it!
Semms it works! Second week of using this product! Love it. Feel good and nice smell + my skin looks better and healthier! Thanks for this treatment! I would like to see more sizes. If you use it 2 times per day, for whole body... 1 month and its done! :)
—Mikhail
AMAZING!!!
I've KP for a few years now and tried some prescription stuff to no avail. I had just been to my dermotologist the day this arrived and he had told me that there isn't much of anything that can be done about it...you just have to live with it. Well, 1 month later my bumps and redness are almost gone!!
I only wish it did the same good for the little white bumps along my jaw line.
—Rhonda
Immediate Results!
I recently discovered that the red bumps on my arms were called Keratosis Pilaris and were treatable. I saw immediate results after two days (twice daily) of WBT 2%, the bumps are almost completely gone THANK GOODNESS. I have had severe bumps for 9 years and now my skin is silky smooth. Weightless Body Treatment doesn't have an oily residue either which is perfect and it comes in a big bottle. I was really impressed with the shipping too. Both the sample and product came on the 2nd day. Quick shipping, Excellent product, and immediate results. I'll definitely recommend this to my friends and family 100%.
—Hannah
Not good
This product doesn't really work it worked a little on my KP on my arms but it hasn't worked on my KP on my legs I was real excited about this product when I read all the great reviews but now I'm pretty disappointed. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear this did not help your keratosis pilaris. This condition can be very stubborn so we suggest trying an AHA exfoliant to see if this gives you better results. We will send you out samples of our Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA to try and credit you for this product. Please contact customer care in order for us to locate your account and help with any further questions.
—Greg
BEST For FACE I've Found!
I also prefer this for my face, to Paula's gel, liquid, or toner BHA formulas. The gel works great, and does not make me shiny, but it does pill under makeup. This is very lightweight, which is so important to me, because I have very oily skin, and can't stand when products make me even more shiny. Sinks right in, offers 2% strength BHA, and even smells pleasant although there is no added fragrance. You get a large tube for a great price, so you get the most for your money from PC's BHA products by using this one. Makeup applies beautifully over this, and it helps a lot with oil control, yet hydrates initially when applied. Most importantly, this keeps me from getting any breakouts! It's perfect, and I highly recommend it as a facial BHA
—Andrea D.
great for getting rid of bumps
I've suffered from small acne on my arms, chest and back since I was a kid. This treatment works very well at clearing up the acne with regular use. I apply it right after I get out of the shower and before I put on my lotion. It can be a bit drying so I never use it without using lotion after.
—Sarah
Absolutely Amazing
Like a lot of other reviewers, I suffer from KP. It's something I have been very self conscious about for a long time. I have tried too many products that simply do not work. The first time I tried this I saw an immediate difference in the way my skin felt. It was smoother than it had been in years. The bumps are still visible but I can no longer feel them. I'm hoping with prolonged use the bumps will completely disappear. Ive found it works best if I use it just once a day at night, right before I go to bed. Thank you so much Paula for this product. Please never discontinue this, I would be devastated to be without it.
—Brittany
IT WORKS!
All my life I have had these ugly red bumps on my upper arms, legs and butt. I didn't even realize this was a treatable skin condition until I heard Paula talk about Ketatosis Pilari. I have been using WBT with 2% BHA for 4 months. The affected area is now super smooth, red bumbs gone!!! Even my bf comments on how soft my skin is. I am thrilled and a WBT user for life. Please don't ever discontinue this product! In addition to WBT, I now use only Paula's Choice products. My facial skin has never felt or looked so good. Has taken 10 years off me. Thank you Paula!!!!
—Katie
Awesome Product
I love this product! I have been using for two weeks and the results are exceptional!
Paula's product is lightweight and once it dries I do not even know I have it on. There is a smell when I first apply, but that completely disappears once the lotion dries.
Before I found Paula's product for my keratosis pilaris; I was using a much more expensive ($36 for 4 ounces) product that had a thick crusty feeling when it dried.
Thanks for developing another great product!
—Sherry
Love this for keratosis pilaris
I have had this horrible condition keratosis pilaris for 31 years it has really had a negative effect on my life and how I feel about myself. I have tried everything from retin a sulfur sofa acv amlactin clean and clear sal acid and nothing has really worked. It's only been 1 day and night since I have been using this and I already see a significant improvement. I really home it continues and completely eradicates this condition. Thanks so much paula's choice!!!!
—Rachel
Amazing!
The Weightless Body Treatment is wonderful. I use it once daily after showering, for mild/moderate KP on my arms. I was using another brand from a high-end standalone cosmetics store without success, then got Lac-Hydrin from the dermatologist (ack, ptoo, talk about gross smelling spackle. . .). Neither product worked nearly as well as the WBT has. It took about two weeks for improvements to show, and by a month, the backs of my arms were clear. My elbows are also a lot softer as well!
—kate
Laveen
Very good, made my bumps on my back arms get very small they are still there but they dont look like pimples anymore and they are smaller and some went away i am very happy i also had pimple like bums on my thighs i tried it and they faded though they arent gone yet i have to keep using the product i have been uaing it for a two weeks now and great results!
—Yesenia
Great for feet!
As a pilates and yoga instructor, I am barefoot a lot. My feet were getting very dry and calloused even though I pumiced and moisturized regularly. And lets face it who wants to saw away at their feet everyday! Well, now I don't. I use the Weightless BT on my feet every night after my shower and then follow with a heavier moisturizer to lock in moisture and they are sooooo much better! I've had this product for a while but since I don't have KP I hadn't found the right use for it. Now I have and I definitely will re-order when I'm out!
—Katina
Fabulous but...
Works fantastically. Exfoliates beautifully and also leaves skin feeling supple and seems to have a nice calming effect on irritated skin. Unfortunately, the price point is too high, and the bottle is too small. The price would not be as galling if it came in a format approaching other brands body lotions. For similar exfoliation and excellent moisturizing ability at a lower price AND in a larger bottle, look to Gold Bond's Restoring Skin Therapy Lotion with CoQ10, which Paula has given a great review of. Ideally though, the price on the Weightless Body Treatment will come down to a more reasonable number and the volume of the packaging would double.
—Daniel Genesee
Bye Bye Bumps!
I finally made a commitment to using Weightless Body Treatment on my arms and legs every day and I can def see a difference! The bumps are almost totally gone. It hasn't helped much w/ the ingrowns I always have on my bikini line, but the difference it's made on my legs and arms will keep me using this product for a long, long time (even though it's a little pricey).
—S
I'm a Weightless Body Treatment addict now.
If there were a keratosis pilaris recovery meeting, I would say, "My name is Regina, I am 35, and I have been free from KP since May, 2011." This is due solely to Weightless Body Treatment. For years, I did not wear anything sleeveless. I picked and squeezed at the bumps in vain, making it all worse. When I wore a bathing suit, people asked what the rash was on my upper arms. Supposedly KP improved in your 30's, so I prayed it would. It did a little, but not much.
Within a few days of trying the samples, I knew I was saved. I've never looked back. When I've travelled without it, I've watched myself "relapse." :-) The redness is gone and my arms are now the actual color of my skin. It turns out they have freckles, ha ha. My mother noticed the "rash went away" on our beach trip. Sleeveless dresses are an option!
My main problem is that I now have a significant addiction to Paula's Choice, over which I am powerless! In fact, I wish I could get even more of the WBT, i.e. a larger quantity in a pump dispenser.
Try a sample - when it works, it is skin-changing.
—Regina
WOW!!!
I've suffered from KP for 8 years now, and I've tried everything under the sun, including a $200 prescription from my dermatologist. Avon's discontinued Skin Bump Minimizer helped a little, but NOTHING compares to the results from this product! I will gladly pay any price for this! After 2 weeks of continued use (twice a day), the back of my arms are 85% better! It has a slight melon scent I don't really care for, but it goes away in just a few minutes. I can't believe after all these years of suffering and not wearing tank tops, I've finally found the answer. I will continue to stock up on this, and I hope it works as well for you as it does for me! Thanks SO much Paula! :)
—Richelle
Can't Believe How Quick It Works
I've only been using this lotion for 2 weeks and the first week the bumps on my upper arms starting disappearing! My arms have not been this smooth in years! I will be ordering this product again.
—Ninna
Hope, Hope, Hope
I just started using this product today, and I really hope it works for my KP
—Maggie
Love the results!
For my KP, this is the best lotion in the history of ever. I have tried much pricier products and didn't get anywhere near the same results. I still have some red spots under the skin, but everything is finally smooth to the touch!
My only gripe is that twice I have had a bottle split where the neck connects to the body, so extra product oozes out the side when I dispense it. If they could fix this issue, it would be perfect. Customer Care Response: Thank you for alerting us to this issue. We will look into it. Please contact Customer Service for a replacement.
—Amber
WISH I'D FOUND THIS SOONER!
I've struggled with KP on my arms and legs for over 10 years. I've used salicylic acid lotions in the past from my dermatologist with no results. After using this lotion twice a day for about a week, I'm noticing a huge difference! The backs of my arms feel smoother than ever and the little red spots on my legs have practically faded away. The bottle really is a good size, and the lotion is so lightweight that a little goes a long way. I agree with some other reviewers that it has a light melon scent that fades quickly. For the first time in years, I wore shorts today with confidence. To me, that's worth the price! Try it!
—Amanda
Excellent product!
I don't think I have KP, but I do tend to get small bumps on my upper arms. After using this product three times, the bumps are almost gone and my arms feel really smooth. I find the fragrance very pleasant -- to me it is a faint melon fragrance, that disappears quickly. I will definitely buy more when I use this up.
—Susan
Great for treating body acne
I got this primarily for acne on my back. For some reason, my back always broke out worse than my face. My mom just recently complimented me on how clear my back looks.
—Arya
Fabulous Discovery
This is an amazing product for your face! I recenty bought this to use for keratosis pilaris on my arms, and it worked so well I decided to try it on my sensitive, acne-prone face, followed by the cellular defense moisturizer SPF 25. Astonishing results! My skin looks perfect, poreless, glowing and clear after only 2 weeks and I no longer need any makeup for the first time in my life. This is the only BHA my skin has been able to tolerate. No one can believe I am 60 years old and I am getting compliments on my skin for the first time in my life. This is a miracle cream I will use forever. Try this, you will be writing in like I just did!
—Linda
Pedicure in a Tube!
I use this on my feet every night and I have been able to save money on pedicures. My feet are smooth. My hands benefit, too. I highly recommend this product!
—Jeannine
Made my KP worse
I hate to be the only negative one, but I really looked forward to trying this after seeing all the positive comments, however when I did I noticed that my KP got worse. Now I have real "chicken skin", before there were red bumps, but now its severe "chicken" skin and it has spread also. So I'm truly disappointed in this, I really hoped it would work but no :( Customer Care Response: Thank you for taking time to review this product. We can understand how frustrating this must be.

Pleasantly Suprised!
This product does what is says! I have keratosis pilaris and after only one week of use, the bumps and redness are fading. Amazing! No smell, no greasy feel. Goes on smooth and leaves my skin silky all day long! Would recommend this to anyone!!! Thanks Paula!
—Aaron G
Amazing product for keratosis pilaris
I have only been using this product for about a week, and the keratosis pilaris on my upper arms is 90% GONE. Before, the skin was red and inflamed and looked terrible. Now, it's smooth and I can only see the faintest trace of red bumps here and there. My skin truly feels smoother and silkier than I can remember it EVER feeling. I am completely amazed with the results. I've been devoted to Paula's facial skin care line for almost a decade, and I am so pleased that her products just keep getting better. Thank you, Paula!!!
—Jennifer K
Finally
Finally something that gets rid of those bumps on the backs of my arms (keratosis pilarsis)I have tried much more expensive products even chatted with the helpful people at Sephora, but nothing works like this, within days. One note, it does make my skin peel a little bit, but that isn't a big deal, I just decreased the frequency to every other morning! Thank you Paula!
—Jennifer
Cured my keratosis pilaris
I've had keratosis pilaris since I was a teenager, and I'm in my 30s now. Since moving to California, my KP has been worse than ever. I've tried all the standard treatments recommended by dermatologists, and none of them worked for me. I was skeptical about this lotion, but all the great reviews convinced me, and I'm so glad! This lotion has 100% cured my KP. I use it once a day, after showering, and the severe redness and bumps I had on my arms, torso, buttocks, and legs have disappeared. I have to keep using the lotion daily in order to keep the KP at bay, but my skin feels so soft and smooth that it's not hard to remember to do it. Yes, it's an expensive lotion, but it's less expensive than the prescription lotions I tried, and it works! If you have KP, give this a shot.
—Lizabeta
Wonderful Product!
I think this is one of the best additions to my skin care routine. I cannot go without it because it makes my skin feel wonderful and I love how it has helped my complexion. It can be used on the face or body and is a great bargain since it comes in such a large size.
—kelley Arndt
Didn't work for me
I really wanted this to work on my dry and crepey skin, but it did nothing to improve it. I really like the 2% BHA gel for my face and I was hoping for great results on my arms and legs, but that didn't happen.
—kayp
The BEST product for after shaving care
I have tried many products and this one is by far the best and my favorite for those annoying red bumps after shaving. It really works and it keeps me from being uncomfortable and from itching! I love it and plan to buy two the next time.
—Jen
Love it, but is EXPENIVE
I understand that this is a high quality product and I love it, but it is expensive. I would love to see it for a little less or a price reduction when you buy multiples. Thanks!
—Rebeca
Absolutely Delivers
This lotion is the perfect texture. I have used it everywhere without irritation and with great results. Smooth skin, no "bumps." I love that it is fragrance free. Brava, Paula!
—Renee
Mixed feelings...
I've been using this diligently every day for a month, and I've only seen the tiniest reduction in redness. Bumps seem smaller but are still present. I have moderate kp on my upper arms and on the backs of my thighs, so I was eager to try this. However, it hasn't made much of a difference on these areas at all. The formula is lightweight and definitely not greasy; it's more gel-like, and it dries quickly. Leaves a slight rubbery film on skin. The smell is not nearly as unpleasant as I thought it might be--it's just a chemical odor, nothing too weird. Overall though, for this price I was hoping this would be more effective.
—Mia
Amazing
My son has keratosis pilaris on his forearms and we have tried several things with no good results. However, THIS STUFF WORKS! Even after the very first application! I couldnt believe it. After one week of use, it is completely gone. I love your products (I use alot of them!)
—Angela
Very unexpected result
I got this product to treat body acne, since it had rave reviews and I love Paula's 2% BHA liquid for the face. But while it is an excellent lotion for dry skin, it actually worsens body acne! I don't know why, but it actually triggers breakouts of acne, which is the opposite of what 2% BHA Liquid does to my face. I can go a week with no BHA body lotion, and no/little new body acne. Then just a single application will trigger a clearly noticeable breakout. I hope other customers have better results, like the rest of the reviewers here. Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear that this product did not work out for you. Please contact Customer Service for assistance with a refund or exchange.
—Adam
KP going, going, gone!
Best product I have tried for Keratosis Pilaris. It really helps sluff the dead skin cells and decrease those red bumps! I love it so much that I use it on my face as well as my body. It is light, non-greasy and absorbs very quickly. Try this one!
—sam
WOW! Consider Me Sold!
I received a sample of this when I ordered a catalog. Liked it, so ordered the bottle. I've been using for two weeks on my face before bedtime. Three people have asked me in as many days what product I'm using and tell me my skin looks so smooth. No one has ever asked me that before! My face feels softer, too. One observer has already ordered her bottle. Expensive? Perhaps. Worth it? Absolutely!
—Juliene
Great product for ingrown hairs & razor bumps!
I have always had problems with ingrown hairs, cysts,pustules & razor bumps after shaving or waxing my bikini line, no matter what products I used in the past. Using Paula's Choice Close Comfort Shave Gel & Skin Relief Treatment helped a bit, but I was still having problems. I recently purchased the Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA & apply this to my bikini area twice daily & the results are amazing!! I rarely get any more ingrown hairs or bumps. I love this product!
—Josie
GREAT IMPROVEMENT!
Paula has done it again, took an already good product and made it even better. This lotion has a nice light silky consistency now, goes on very smoothly. I agree with other reviews that it has a nice light melon smell to it, never thought of it before. This has been the best thing I have found so far for my ketosis p. condition. For those complaining about the price please don't compare this to a regular body lotion, it's not. A specialty lotion like this will cost you 4 times as much from a dermatologist. This is a fantastic product at a reasonable price!
—SARA
Awesome for bumps on arms and legs!
I love this product for my bumps on my arms and legs! I have now used it for less than a week and I have seen significant difference! I am literally calling my doctor tomorrow to let him know! Thank you Paula!
—Debbie
Incredibly Effective
I ordered this product originally because Paula recommends it for rough skin on the heels. It did not work well for me for that problem; my heels require more aggressive treatment. But months later, I started using it on my upper back, where I tend to get acne breakouts. The bumps were gone in just a few days, and they've stayed gone even with my using a small amount just once a day after I shower. This result was more than I hoped for, and my back hasn't felt this smooth since I was a child.
—Margaret
Great Product!
I'm impressed. This product has greatly improved the keratosis pilaris on the back of my arms in less than 2 weeks without irritation. It goes on smoothly without leaving a film behind, and doesn't seem to rub off on clothing. For me this stuff is worth the cost and the (slightly) off-putting smell. (The smell dissipates quickly anyway, not a big deal for me.)
—Lauren
Miracle stuff
As a life long woman with KP, I had almost given up until WBT. I had used the previous version, but found it too drying. This new formula and packaging is the best treatment out there for KP. I actually like the smell in that it is non-sour smelling and has a mild clean scent. I can wear sleeveless clothes for the first time in my life!!!
—Lori Borella, M.D.
Outstandingly wonderful
I reviewed this several months ago after using it for a week. Well, just wanted to say it again after using it for a long period of time - I LOVE THIS PRODUCTS. It is my every evening, all-over body lotion and my skin looks and feels fantastic - better than it ever has. I don't even have KP and never have - I use this because it keeps me smooth, moist and dewy, and perfect! Most body lotions are too greasy for all over use. This is just perfect. I use two tubes a month, every month, and I think the price is literally a bargain. Don't change a thing! And thanks again.
—olivia
Weightless Body Treatment
BY FAR the best product I have ever used in ten years for treating keratosis pilaris. I have even been to dermatologists and I swear this product is like some hidden secret.
—Melissa
Works!
I really like this product (except for the smell) and it seems to help with keratosis. However, it doesn't last very long and seems costly to replace all the time. Same for RESIST moisturizer, not a lot of product and I can never tell when it is close to being empty.
—Madeline
Fantastic for Sun Spots
Due to too much sun in my wild youth I have lots of raised sun spots, like freckles but larger & irregular, on my shins, hands, forearms, shoulders, & back. The WBT is the BEST for reducing them so they flake off (esp. with retin-a) and making them less visible. It's truly weightless. Love it!
—Deborah H.
Finally something that works!
This is a great product for treating keratosis pilarus. I have tried everything over the years and finally found something that helps alleviates the ugly symtoms of keratosis pilarus. I have sensitive skin also and this product doesn't bother my skin. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
—Jessica
Excellent if you can afford it
This works very well but I don't think I would repurchase as there are other PC items I think are more essential. If you can afford the price it delivers on the claims.
—Joe
Effective Product
Wonderful product! Doesn't smell bad to me.
Lovely texture that really does work. Put all over my feet and put footies on overnight. My feet are so smooth and pretty. Price for this product is fair.
—Debbbie Maher
Excellent Reformulation
I experienced pilling with the old 2% Body Lotion and have made do with the 2% Face Lotion since, but this new formulary is outstanding. I have never had a problem with the "raw" smell of some of Paula's products, but the melon scent "side-effect" is nevertheless very pleasing. The new texture is ideal for normal/oily skin, and those needing more moisture can always layer it with the Body Butter etc. Another winner from Paula!
—Tim
Love. Just love.
This lotion is a must for KP! Not fond of the melon scent, but it dissipates quickly. The price point is dead on, there is no other product on the market with 2% BHA for the body! Therefore, it can't be compared to regular body lotions or their price. This lotion is brilliant, thank you so much!
—Jessica
Great for keratosis pilaris
If I could get a gallon of this lotion, I would! The consistency is excellent (emollient, but not greasy) and the BHA has reduced the redness and bumpiness on my arms and legs from keratosis pilaris.
—Trish
The ONLY Keratosis Pilaris cure!
Oh my God ! I am so excited about this product is simply amazing! I have had KP(arm bumps) since i was a teen and have always been self-conscious about it i have tried every product out and nothing i mean nothing ! has worked like the Weightless body treatment from Paulas Choice - Now that i have found this i hope you dont discontinue it ! My KP cleared in three days after years its a miracle !Thank you!
—Isis
Skin so SOFT
I have suffered from body acne all my life and this is the only thing that works! The single most common compliment from my lovers is "Your skin is so soft!" and thanks to Paulas it is also flawless. Thanks Paula!
—Cara Ryder
This works!
I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and the sides/backs of my thighs. This product is the first thing I have found that keeps the condition under control as long as I use it. Even my dermatologist didn't have a solution for keratosis pilaris. Please keep making this outstanding product! I have recommended it to all my family and friends that have the same condition.
—Donna B
WOW!
The old version was great, this one is AWESOME! It is a light moisturizer that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling silky smooth. It also exfoliates (no more "ashy" legs). The packaging has greatly improved--the squeeze tube works much better. Both formulas are fragrance-free; the old one was a little stinky. This one has a very slight almost melon smell that fades out and is much more pleasant. Did not expect PC to be able to improve so much on an already excellent product!
—Carolann
GREAT formula - sneh packaging
I've used Paula's products for years with great success, and this is my new favorite. I have combination blemish-prone skin on my face and body, so a light moisturizing product with effective BHA is a miracle for me. And I actually love the scent of the melon ingredient. I'm just taking off one point for packaging. I much prefer pump bottles, or even packaging that allows me to replace the cap with a pump for fast, sanitary dispensing. In this case, I just transferred the product to a light-protected blue glass bottle with pump.
—Sarah
It Works!!
I have severe acne on my face and back since I was a teenager and have been using Paula's 2% BHA Liquid for the past few years. My acne has definitely improved over the years but I still would get minor to moderate breakouts. I initially ordered the 2% BHA lotion for my back. Sure enough, after a couple weeks of usage, my back is free of acne. So I thought why not try it on my face (in addition to the 2% BHA Liquid and the extra strength CLEAR system). Sure enough, all the breakouts on my face have been cleared and I can now say I am free of acne for the past month. Like other reviewers mentioned, the lotion gets absorbed into the skin completely without leaving a trace of greasiness. That's a must for my extremely oil skin. I don't really mind about the price since the product actually works. It is such an amazing feeling to have clear skin. Thank you so much Paula for continuously bringing excellent products over the years.
—I Tang
Too Light For Me
This product is as described - weightless and light! But I prefer more moisture in my body lotion so will return to using the Skin Revealing Body Lotion next time. The Weightless Body Treatment IS a great product though so if you are looking for something really light, this is for you. I'm not crazy about the scent (hence 4 stars) but it goes away quickly. And I think the price is reasonable for what you get - a little goes a long way.
—Gayle
Finally a Solution!
I have stubborn acne on my back for years. Everything I have tried has failed until I tried this. After one week my shoulders look great. There is nothing like this out there.
—Sharye
WONDERFUL, HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
This is by far the most effective product I have tried for rough, calloused skin, peeling skin, dry skin, itching, sun damage. I can tell a difference overnight. It is not greasy and soaks in immediately leaving my skin smooth and not itchy. I think the price is fair for a treatment product rather than a simple moisturizer. It has made a huge difference for me. I alternate between the BHA and AHA products. I have terrible elbows and this had made a huge difference. I understand that this is fragrance free except for the fragrance that is naturally in there. I love the fragrance! I would love a larger size offered. In fact, maybe the size of a bathtub and I could submerge in it. I wait for the free shipping offers. My comment would be for Paula to understand that we look at shipping cost as part of a total cost and if the cotainer is larger then impact of shipping cost per ounce is less.

Pleasantly surprised
I had a hard time using the AHA body lotion but this is the perfect substitute for my sensitive yet blemish prone skin. Thanks for making this and your other BHA products. I used to use the BHA liquid everywhere. For something you just can't get anywhere else it's worth it.
—Sharye
It really makes a difference!
Thank you very much for selling this product again and, in my opinion, improved.
It is the only body product that really marks a substantial difference, making the skin softer than never. In a couple of applications, it has improved very much my KP and the skin of my heels.
The improvement? Before it had a rather acid smell (like an aspirin) and now it has a subtle melon scent. Perfect!

Good Body Treatment
This product is highly recommended for treating the rough skin on feet, elbows, and knees. The lotion has a very slight smell, but I don't consider it unpleasant. The texture is very nice and easy to rub in. I would order it again.

Mixed feelings
I'm a long-time user of Paula's products, including her books and Beautypedia. This lotion has a great texture and indeed makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I'm also impressed to see a BHA lotion for the body. However, I agree with the another reviewer that the price is very high for a body lotion, and I need to hold my breath when applying it, as I hate the smell (yes, I understand that this is due to the ingredients). Thankfully, the smell dissipates after the product absorbs into the skin. Not sure if I'll order again, though.
Customer Care Response:
Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. The Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA is, first and foremost, a 2% BHA product, specifically formulated with a pH balance for exfoliating the thicker skin of the body. Paula wanted to develop a treatment for issues like keratosis pilaris, clogged pores and rough areas that needed attention, but wouldn't receive the best results by using her BHA products developed for the face. This product is unique to the market, and is a priced conservatively when you consider a few points; as mentioned, it was developed with a pH that is more effective for treating the body (something that every other body product on the market lacks,) and at 3.28 per oz, you are spending less than you would by using the 2% BHA Lotion for the face (which is 4.73 per oz.) We hope this adds a different perspective to your review, and welcome any further questions on the Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA.

Wonderful
This body treatment lotion has an elegant texture and a faint but lovely natural melon scent. This is by far my favorite lotion of its kind--nothing else I've tried even comes close. I'm a bit puzzled by the complaints about the "small" size--it's 7 ounces and you don't need a lot at once.
—Deb
Love It
Had acne on my back and chest, thought I'd give this lotion a try, I'm so glad I did. With summer here I am no longer afraid to show off my back or chest area. It works!!!
—nancy
perfection
Truly weightless, with fabulous ingredients.
Prefer the scent of cucumber extract to melon extract, but that is no reason not to use this amazing lotion. I put it all over after a shower, then put a heavier cream on my dryer areas. My skin is now flawless and glowing, head to toe. THANK YOU PAULA FOR YOUR UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL PRODUCTS WHICH KEEP IMPROVING.

So Great!
The new formulation of this product is awesome! I also like that you guys have moved to a tube instead of a bottle. The tube is so much easier to use! Someone mentioned a flip top would be better instead of a screw off top for this product and I agree! That would be a good change for every body product with similar packaging. I used this for the first time last night and it absorbed right into my skin. Some areas where I was suffering from ingrown hairs and red bumps already look better! And, even though this product is fragrance free, it smells great because I get a hint of fragrance from the Melon Extract. Once again, this product is great!
—Kristina
Awesome!
Fantastic product. I've always had little red marks on my leg or the odd acne splotch on my body. The BHA takes care of that effortlessly. The formulation is fantastic. The smell isn't pleasant but it doesn't linger after application.
—Brian
Worth the wait
I am so happy this product is back. The new texture is wonderful -- very elegant. I also love the new tube packaging because the old lotion in the bottle was hard to get out, and I had to store it upside-down. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because the scent is somewhat off-putting. But the effectiveness cannot be denied. I love this stuff!

Awesome, amazing! I love it, it's so light but moisturizes so well. It leaves my body silky soft.

2% BHA Body lotion
I'm so disappointed with the small size and the high price. A body lotion needs to come in a large size so you freely use enough to moisturize your body (as Paula has taught me repeatedly over the years). I was just recently using the 2% BHA for my face + was thinking that Paula needed to sell a gallon size so i can use it on my body. So i was so excited to see this new product, but it's too bad it's not really at a size or price point to use on your body.

A brilliant re-formulation
This is a surprisingly more potent version than the original: it actually caused my (very, very oily) skin to flake when I used it twice per day--and that's no easy feat.
The original version, although it certainly was not without its charms, was like applying caulk; it was a thick mess. Finally, this version is thin, weightless and absorbs quickly and leaves almost no feel or finish behind--which is what I always want from a skin care product (and rarely get). Thus, I love this it.
If I had to give a nit-picky complaint, it's one of packaging: I love the tube, but don't understand why it wouldn't have a flip-top lid? And a reviewer mentions that this product possesses some sort of aromatherapuetic smell, which I'd have to completely disagree with; it's not scented, as promised, and the smell is clearly chemical, but dissipates quickly.
Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback. The scent in our Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA is the addition of melon extract, an antioxidant, to the formula.
—Dustin
Fantastic
So happy this is back in stock after several years with a fantastic new formula! Thanks Paula. All your products are wonderful.

KP Battle Plan MUST HAVE
I have used this product for a several years and the recent changes are all fantastic. It has a silky texture which results in the smoothest skin ever, and the natural scent, which I assume is a result of the flower extracts, is intoxicating. It is calming, like lavender, and is a wonderful addition to my PM beauty routine. I have suffered with severe keratosis pilaris since childhood and this lotion, although pricey, is a MUST HAVE in the daily battle against those pesky red bumps. Watch for Paula's sales on exfoliants and special offers to bring the price down. You will not be dissapointed once you see results after one use. With consistent use, KP is dramatically improved.
—Angie
Finally! An effective keratosis pilaris treatment
I disagree with Mark. Olay and others have fragrance which is a waste of money. That is what perfume is for. Also, the price point is actually better than Mark's suggestions because you are getting a higher concentration of antioxidants. I would rather have more of the good stuff than a lot of filler ingredients.
If you have keratosis pilaris, I would highly recommend this formulation. With consistent use, you will see a major improvement within a few shorts weeks.
—Eli
I have been waiting forever...
I used the original weightless bha on my face up until something went wrong with the formula. It was the ONLY bha from Paula that my face responded to and what a wonderful response! I called and waited forever for this to be re-released and I can't wait to get it. The price is no fun, but I only use it on my face so it should last awhile. Hope it's as good as the original.
—Sue
Excellent Product
I have been using this product for a long time and was disappointed when it was discontinued. I'm really glad Paula is bringing this back. I am however, disappointed that the price is remaining high while the product is an ounce smaller. I still have a bottle of the original, and it's 8 ounces. I wish there were a drug store equivalent, because I use a lot of it and $22.95 for 7 oz is spendy.
—Jocelyn
New Formula better than before!
I am very happy Paula brought a BHA body lotion back (no one else has one). This new formula is 1 oz. less than the previous- but I am impressed & love it!
—Terri
Great, BUT...
This product has a nice formula BUT...$22.95 for a body lotion...?! In my opinion, that price is just way too high. I could see $12.95 or maybe a few dollars higher but to quote her "there is nothing in here worth that price." Why use this when Olay's Quench Body Lotion line with antioxidants and Niacin is 1/3 the price. Paula makes great products usually and I love a lot of them (including my Beautypedia Subscription) but I won't be ordering this product any time soon unless they lower the price.

What makes this product unique?
It is the only soothing body lotion containing an effective amount of salicylic acid (BHA) on the market formulated at a pH that allows the BHA to have superior exfoliating properties to soften rough, bumpy areas, eliminate dry skin, help clear breakouts from the neck down, and improve skin color.
This silky, lightweight moisturizer sets to a soft matte finish and is packed with proven antioxidants and potent anti-irritants to keep skin soft and healthy. This specialized body product will reveal younger-looking skin with a renewed firmness, refined texture and fewer discolorations from sun damage.
Who is the ideal customer for this product?
The Weightless Body Treatment is great for anyone who is prone to breakouts anywhere on their body. It is also extremely effective at relieving red bumps and rough areas on the body (Keratosis Pilaris). This silky body lotion also works to improve skin tone and texture, both of which contribute to a more youthful look.
How should this product be used?
Apply a small amount to clean skin. May be used daily for all-over smoothing and exfoliation, or applied to blemished or rough, bumpy areas of the skin as needed.
For additional blemish control, follow with Paula's Choice Clear Acne Fighting Treatment.
For daytime use, be sure to follow with a Paula's Choice sunscreen.
Excellent for treating keratosis pilaris.
Avoid direct contact with eyes.

How does Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA differ from the other Paula's Choice 2% BHA products?
The primary difference is with the base formula and the pH level. Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid and 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Lotion contains the same percentage of salicylic acid, but their pH levels are slightly higher. Because facial skin is generally more sensitive than body skin, Paula opted to formulate Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA at a lower pH level than our other 2% BHA products. This not only increases salicylic acid's ability to exfoliate, but makes this product especially beneficial for use on areas of rough, thickened skin such as elbows, knees, and heels. The lotion base of Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA is significantly less emollient than our 2% BHA Lotion and entirely different from our 2% BHA Liquid and 2% BHA Gel.
Can I use Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA on my face?
Yes. In fact, some skin types may prefer the texture of Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA for facial use.
I am using Renova/Retin-A on sun-damaged body skin. Is it OK to use this with Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA?
Few physicians/dermatologists prescribe Renova/Retin-A along with a salicylic acid product due to increased risk of side effects characteristic of tretinoin therapy. However, you may certainly experiment with using them at the same time or separately depending on how your skin responds. It is always essential to use an effective sunscreen rated at SPF 15 or higher. If you experience increased redness, sensitivity, or flaking skin, discontinue using the Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA over areas where tretinoin is also applied.
