AVIEN 5.5 THE SMOOTHER GLYCOLIC ACID + VC BODY LOTION 500ML

Description

AVIEN 5.5 The Smoother Glycolic Acid + Vitamin C Body Lotion is a lightweight, hydrating lotion that gently exfoliates while brightening and smoothing the skin. Glycolic acid works to slough off dead skin cells and promote cell turnover for a refined texture, while vitamin C helps fade dark spots and boost overall radiance. It’s designed for daily or regular use on the body, suitable for all skin types and tones (including sensitive), and aligns with the brand’s clean, pH-balanced approach for long-term skin health and a “glass-like” smooth finish.

How to Use

• • Apply after showering or bathing on clean, slightly damp skin to enhance absorption and lock in hydration.
  • Dispense a generous amount into your palms and massage gently in circular motions over the body — pay extra attention to rough or uneven areas like elbows, knees, arms, legs, and any spots with texture concerns or dark patches.
  • Use daily (or start with 3–4 times per week if your skin is sensitive to AHAs) in the evening for best results, as glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
  • Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) on exposed areas during the day to protect against UV while using exfoliating actives.
  • Patch test first on a small area if you’re new to glycolic acid; it’s fast-absorbing with no heavy residue, perfect for humid Lagos weather.

Benefits

• • Gently exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal smoother, softer, more even-textured skin.
  • Stimulates cell renewal for a radiant, youthful appearance and reduced roughness or bumpiness.
  • Brightens complexion and minimizes the look of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven tone over consistent use.
  • Provides antioxidant protection from vitamin C to combat environmental damage and support skin glow.
  • Hydrates while improving firmness and elasticity for supple, healthy-looking body skin.
  • Gentle enough for all skin types/tones; pH 5.5 helps maintain the skin barrier without irritation.
  • Great for addressing common concerns like keratosis pilaris-prone areas or post-shave roughness.

Ingredients

• • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid/Ascorbyl Glucoside): A potent antioxidant that targets melanin production to improve luminosity and skin elasticity.
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Often included in this line to strengthen the skin barrier and even out skin tone.
  • Moisturizing Base: Typically composed of Water (Aqua), Glycerin, and emollients such as Cetearyl Alcohol or Glyceryl Stearate to provide hydration without a greasy feel.
