The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick can be used as part of the AM and/or PM routine. Apply directly to clean, dry skin on affected areas with no need to rinse off. Start by using 2-3 times per week on concern areas and gradually increase to daily application if tolerated. How to use for concerns KP Bumps: Use up to 2X daily on affected areas to help exfoliate keratin buildup which contributes to rough, bumpy skin. Ingrown Hairs: Use up to 2X daily when experiencing active ingrown hairs. Once concern has improved, reduce to 1X daily on ingrown hair-prone areas to help unclog blocked pores and remove dead skin cells. Body Breakouts: Use up to 2X daily on affected areas to help unclog oily pores. Underarm/Bikini Line Discoloration: Use up to 1X daily on affected areas to support skin surface cell turnover helping to improve the appearance of visible dark patches. For underarms, allow product to absorb for approx. 10-15 minutes before applying deodorant or anti-perspirant. For best results, we recommend applying directly to clean, dry skin in the PM, and applying deodorant or anti-perspirant in the AM. Leave at least 8 hours after hair removal to prevent irritation*. Once concerns improve, reduce usage to 3X per week or as required to help maintain benefits. Dry, Cracked Heels: Use up to 2X daily. For a more intense treatment; before going to bed, apply a slightly thicker layer and wear socks overnight. May cause barefoot slippage. We recommend wearing socks immediately after application until the product has fully absorbed.
