Weightless Body Lotion Treatment 2% BHA, Salicylic Acid & Chamomile Lotion Exfoliant, Body Moisturizer for Keratosis Pilaris (KP) Prone Skin & Clogged Pores, Fragrance-Free

I’ve trusted Paula’s Choice products for years, especially their sunscreen, which has been a staple in my daily routine. Because of that long-term positive experience with the brand, I was very curious to try this Weightless Body Lotion Treatment with 2% BHA, and it has turned out to be a really impressive addition to my skincare lineup. The first thing I noticed is the texture. Despite containing 2% salicylic acid, the lotion feels surprisingly lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky film. Many exfoliating body treatments can feel heavy or overly medicinal, but this one feels more like a refined moisturizer. It spreads easily across the skin, which means a small amount goes a long way, especially when applied to areas like the arms and legs. I mainly used it on areas that tend to develop rough texture and clogged pores, particularly the backs of my arms where keratosis pilaris–prone bumps sometimes appear. What I appreciate about this formula is that it combines exfoliation with hydration. The BHA (salicylic acid) works to gently loosen and dissolve the buildup that can cause those tiny bumps, while soothing ingredients like chamomile and green tea help keep the skin calm and comfortable. Instead of feeling dry or tight after applying it, my skin actually feels softer and well-conditioned. Another aspect I like is that the formula is completely fragrance-free. For a treatment product that’s meant to be used regularly, this is important to me because it reduces the chance of irritation and makes it suitable even for more sensitive skin types. The lotion layers nicely with other body products too, without pilling or leaving residue on clothing. Over time, the texture of my skin has noticeably improved. Areas that used to feel rough or uneven now feel smoother to the touch, and the overall look of my skin appears more refined. It’s not an instant miracle product, but with consistent use it definitely helps keep those stubborn bumps and clogged pores under control. The smaller travel size is also convenient. It’s easy to keep in a gym bag or take along on trips without sacrificing space, which makes it practical for maintaining a consistent routine even when traveling. Overall, this product fits perfectly into what I expect from Paula’s Choice: thoughtful ingredients, effective exfoliation, and a gentle formula that prioritizes skin health. If you struggle with rough patches, clogged pores on the body, or mild keratosis pilaris and prefer fragrance-free skincare, this lotion is absolutely worth trying. I’m really glad I finally gave it a chance and would happily recommend it.

It's not greasy, it's scent is pleasant if nonexistent, it moisturizes & exfoliates well, and it really does feel weightless! Kind of amazing for this skeptic. I've had a few darker patches on my face since my 20s & I really didn't expect it to do much - maybe just even everything out. I used it sparingly at first to make sure I didn't have an adverse reaction. My face skin is sensitive, but it didn't burn so I used it about every third day. I noticed the difference immediately - it felt like a whole layer of dead skin washed off my face with only a gentle scrubbing. It even took care of a couple of problem areas I could never seem to get exfoliated. My darker patches have minimized considerably and my skin tone looks more evened out. I've begun using it on elbows & knees - the rest of me now feels scrubbed & refreshed after a summer of oils & sunscreens. I bought the two ounce size, thinking it's not a big loss if it only turns out to be expensive hand lotion. With my first application the quality was evident - at least for me, it does what it says it can do. It feels weightless & I feel comfortable in my skin again. I still use it sparingly but when I finish with this 2 oz size, I may go with a larger size. It's definitely a useful product I know I'll use consistently.

Saw a noticeable difference in skin softness after just a couple of uses. Unfortunately, the smell is very unpleasant and I wouldn’t buy it again just because of that.

My face is extremely oily, which turns into dry skin on my face around my nose and cheeks. I’ve tried everything on the market. I take daily showers and would use shampoo with Zinc oxide like head and shoulders. But it would come back if I missed a single shower. I apply to my face especially with my beard grown out. The redness, over oil, dry flaky skin has disappeared completely. I will use this for as long as I can. It’s a great product! Highly recommend if you have the same conditions as mine.

NOTE: I've only been using this for about a week at this point. I always had troublesome [acne, eczema, KP] skin, but it was mostly on my face. However, my skin all over has been slowly changing over these passed couple years - seemingly more oily and dehydrated - and since starting a very active/fast-paced janitorial job last year, it's exacerbated all these issues on my body. So I've been searching for specific products to overhaul my entire body routine and so far this is the first one to give me any positive results - and so fast ! Nightly, I slather it on and it very literally feels 'weightless' [didn't expect that @ first]. My skin felt smoother initially and its only been evening out more and more since. Current breakouts have been dissolving, and I haven't had any new ones that I can tell. It also seems to deeply, truly hydrate, as my skin is particularly parched after a thorough cleanse, so I'm hoping w continued use that this will help curb excess oil production. I'm very particular about ingredients, and these ingredients and their order are pretty good, which ultimately made me decide to try it out. I originally came across the AHA 'Lotion' which lead me to this BHA 'Treatment'. I just wanna point out if yu're iffy about which one to get, BHA's cut through oil, therefore go deeper in the skin to cleanse - which is why I chose it considering my skin is oily, sweating for 8 hours, and then dehydrated, creating over-compensation of more oils. AHA's don't go as deep, but they're still very effective and refreshing w less possible irritation for a drier or super sensitive skin, and a more frequent exfoliating treatment. I think it's worth a try - a little truly goes a long way [considering the star ingredient is an acid, gotta get used to NOT slathering yur body in a thick, greasy layer, lol] and this is a decent sized container. :: UPDATE 6.20.2018 :: Rating is still the same ! I'm only just meow getting to the end of it. My KP is pretty much gone, noticeably creeping through when I get lazy, and breakouts are manageable, few and far between, and/or cycle in and out very quickly. The routine I've found best with it is alternating nights with this [layered on top of an oil, especially in the winter time] and a body butter [thinly in the summer], combined with using a body brush in the shower on my specifically-KP-troubled areas every night after work. Though I was trying to avoid such an intense routine that could potentially cause unnecessary damage, I actually found that with all the activity at work, combined with the uniform and various chemicals I'm exposed to, this routine in its entirety is very beneficial - but then chilling out on the vigorous exfoliation on the days I haven't run around like a chicken w it's head chopped off, wielding a mop or industrial vacuum. Point being that it's not going to be a miracle worker, but it does exactly what it says it will, with the added bonus of actually being a pleasant texture that isn't heavy, but still moisturizing, and soaks in a timely manner.

This worked well on my legs to clear up the “strawberry skin” I still have even after getting laser hair removal seven years ago. I also tried it on the KP on my upper arms, and it seemed to work well there, too. However, I also put it on my chest, and that was a huge mistake. Within minutes, my skin was bright pink and itchy. I only used it on my chest once, and more than 24 hours later—even after showering—I’m still waiting for the irritation to fully calm down. I would recommend being very careful using this on more delicate or sensitive areas, like the chest. It worked well for my arms and legs, but I definitely would not use it on thinner skin again. Also, this lotion smells terrible, but the smell goes away after a couple minutes.

Paula’s Choice Weightless Body Lotion Treatment 2% BHA feels lightweight on the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. With consistent use, it helps smooth rough texture and keeps skin feeling more even, especially on areas like arms and legs. The formula is gentle enough for regular use and doesn’t cause irritation when applied to dry skin. It layers well under sunscreen or other body products and doesn’t pill. While it doesn’t feel deeply moisturizing on its own, it works well as a treatment lotion rather than a heavy hydrator. Overall, it’s effective for maintaining smoother skin and reducing bumps over time, making it a solid option if you want exfoliation without a heavy or sticky feel.

I have KP on my elbows/forearms. and some on my knees. True chicken skin, rough white bumps with very fine ingrown hairs with a little mountain of a pore kertain plug that both slide out with tweezers - and that's the only way I can clear the pore, but the bump remains. It has only gotten worse as I got older. I started with high % glycolic and salycic acid exfoliation pads and probably not that good of idea picking out hairs with tweezers and scarping with my nails to break them up. It didn't do much. I have also used a much gentler silicone scrubbing pad for my face with the salycic acid wash, which did absolutely nothing. I've tried every exfoliation scrub ever, doesn't work. Forever I have just wished for something capable of exfoliating these bumps of skin off and hairs like the rest of my arms. I have used this for only FOUR DAYS so far, and in combination with a rougher silicone exfoliator from Amazon, I have NEVER IN MY 30 YEARS of having this seen this many of the ingrown hairs released. The bumps are probably half the size now. I'd have maybe 10 hairs on my whole area and the rest rough bumps - now almost every pore's hair is free - probably hundreds of them. I can tell because they're all curly like they've been stuck in a pore for my whole life I want to cry. I didn't think it'd be possible to find something affordable that works. I can't wait to see what happens after using it consistently. I got this smaller size bottle, and even when I only put a little bit out, it goes a far way. By the time I get done with this tube, I may have normal skin at this rate! It will also be affordable and easy to continue using since KP comes back without intervention consistently. No smell, feels nice, doesn't hurt or anything. Works great! EDIT: Aug 17. I am astonished. My worst arm, 1/2 of the KP is gone. The rest of it, like 80% smoother than when I started - some spots are even clear. The spots on my knees no longer have ingrown hairs anymore, it's just the skin buildup bumps. SOME OF IT IS ALL GONE. I've had this for as long as I can remember! Like I cannot believe it. At this rate, I feel like it's going to go through the stubborn parts, but this might be all gone in a month! I still have quite a bit left, I put maybe a dime's worth on my elbows and pea size between the small 1" section on my knees. I put it on daily. I have also been using the rough silicone exfoliator in the shower I mentioned too - that is helping get some of the old stuff from the lotion sloughed off!

Very happy with the results. I use it to avoid ingrown hair on my legs, and this is the only thing that works for me. I bought it once again.

This is the by far the best skin product I have used!! The effects are immediately noticeable - my skin is smoother than it has ever been. Will definitely order again.

I have struggled with KP since childhood and never knew exactly what it was. Alot of googling later I've managed to come up with answers and started to look for products to help. I tried this moisturiser and it's really helped reduce the visible appearance of bumps and redness especially on my upper arms. I'm still struggling with my legs but it's helped my confidence massively

Satisfied

Great product!
