Smoothing Body Cream - 0.8% Dioic Acid + 4% AHA + 5% Cocoa Butter

Why is this different?

Formulated with impactful actives such as Dioic Acid, Cocoa Butter, and 2 types of AHAs- Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid, this skin-soothing body glow cream helps in deeply moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Dioic Acid helps target dark patches and pigmentation, and AHAs help in smoothing the skin, evening out the skin tone, and promoting collagen production. It acts as a hyperpigmentation cream for the body. Added Cocoa Butter acts as an emollient to keep the dry skin supple and hydrated.

How Does it Work on the Skin?

• 0.8% Dioic acid works on dark patches and pigmentation.
• 4% AHA (Lactic acid and Glycolic acid) helps in smoothing the skin, evens out the skin tone, and promotes collagen production.
• 5% Cocoa butter deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin.

How to use?

• Massage until completely absorbed into the skin.

1. Will using AHAs every day on the body be harsh on the skin?
   It contains up to 4% AHA (lactic acid and glycolic acid) making it a dead skin remover cream for the body, helps fortify the skin and make it plumper. It also contains cocoa butter which will keep your skin moisturized and protected.
2. What are the benefits of this body cream?
   One of the major benefits of body cream for dry skin is that it provides deep moisturization leaving the skin smooth, it calms irritated skin improving overall skin health. Additionally, it acts as a body tan removal cream, Dioic acid in it regulates excess melanin & its transfer across skin cells - helping fade hyperpigmentation. The cream works on both upper layers of the skin & the deeper layers.
3. Body cream vs body lotion?
   Cream and lotion are two different categories of formulation working towards providing the same benefit as that of deeply moisturizing skin, nourishing it, and improving the skin texture. The major difference between the two is that of thickness. The body cream has thick buttery consistency whereas the body lotion is lightweight as compared to the cream. A daily moisturizing Lotion has more water content & less oil. Being thicker body cream adds more protection to the skin as it seeps into the deeper layers of the body skin whereas lotion isn't able to go into the deeper layers & hence takes a little longer to work.
4. Can this Smoothing Body Cream be used along with other serums/products?
   Yes, the Smoothing Body Cream can be used with other products. However, a patch test is always recommended.
5. Is the Smoothing Body Cream safe to use for a pregnant and/or a lactating/nursing mother?
   The Smoothing Body Cream is safe to use during pregnancy. It is advisable to consult a doctor before use.
6. Is the Smoothing Body Cream safe to use for a teenager?
   Yes, you can use this Body Brightening Cream every day to form a protective barrier to lock in moisture. People with oily skin can use it twice a day, but people with dry to normal skin should use it once a day to get supple skin. Regular application of body butter cream helps in keeping dryness at bay.
7. Does this body cream darken skin?
   It does not darken the skin rather the Dioic acid content in it helps reduce the appearance of dark patches and pigmented skin by inhibiting tyrosinase activity and acting as a de-tan cream for the body.
8. When should body cream be applied?
   This rich cocoa butter body cream for women & men should be applied on clean and damp skin post-shower to get smooth skin.
9. Can I use body cream on my face?
   This moisturizing cream is specifically meant to be used on the body. It soothes & calms dry & itchy skin & prevents loss of elasticity thus also reducing the appearance of stretch marks on the body.

14. What is the difference between face cream and body cream?
    The face cream is formulated especially for the face considering that the skin on the face is sensitive compared to the body as it is exposed to external factors.
