The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick — 7% Glycolic, Fragrance-Free Solid for Rough or Bumpy Skin and Ingrown Hairs

Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is a convenient, fragrance-free solid treatment that combines 7% glycolic acid, salicylic acid and shea butter to smooth rough, bumpy body skin and help reduce ingrown hairs.

If you’re dealing with uneven texture, keratosis pilaris (KP)-like bumps, clogged pores on the body or frequent ingrown hairs, this stick is designed to target those concerns without the mess of creams. The format is a glide-on solid that lets you apply exfoliating actives directly where you need them. Formulated for daily use in either AM or PM routines, it’s fragrance-free, cruelty-free and created to be accessible for a broad range of skin types.

How does this stick improve rough, bumpy skin?

The formula uses 7% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid known for loosening bonds between dead skin cells so they shed more easily. Regular use helps reveal smoother skin surface and reduces the appearance of textured bumps. The stick delivery allows targeted contact on affected areas.

• 7% glycolic acid to accelerate surface exfoliation
• Solid stick for precise, no-rinse application
• Shea butter to soften and comfort skin immediately

Will it help with ingrown hairs and body breakouts?

It contains salicylic acid alongside glycolic acid, which helps clear pores of oil and debris that can lead to ingrown hairs and body blemishes. The combination addresses both surface buildup and pore congestion for improved skin clarity. Use consistently on areas prone to ingrowns or body acne.

• Salicylic acid helps unclog oily pores
• Targets areas prone to ingrown hairs and breakouts
• Use directly after shaving or waxing to aid smoother regrowth

How do I use the Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick safely?

Glide the stick directly over dry skin where texture or bumps appear—no rinsing required. It’s suitable for AM or PM, but when used in the morning apply sun protection afterward because exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity. Start with less frequent use if your skin is very reactive, then increase as tolerated.

• Apply to dry skin on target areas; no need to rinse
• Can be used in AM or PM; follow with SPF during daytime
• If sensitivity occurs, reduce frequency or stop use

Is this product appropriate for sensitive skin types?

Formulated fragrance-free and with a skin-nourishing base, the stick is intended to be accessible to a range of skin types, including some sensitive skin. However, acids can still cause irritation for very reactive skin, so patch testing is recommended before widespread use. Adjust frequency to your skin’s tolerance.

• Fragrance-free formula to minimize irritation risk
• Patch test recommended on a small area first
• Reduce frequency for sensitive or reactive skin

Who is this for: The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is aimed at people who want an easy, targeted treatment for textured body skin, KP-like bumps, ingrown hairs or body breakouts.
