Active ingredients target dry areas

The publication notes that body skin produces less oil than facial skin. Consequently, formulations containing retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids are recommended for treating roughness below the neck. Dermatologist Sarah Sung explains that lactic acid and urea can loosen built-up skin while improving hydration simultaneously.

Recommended products include lotions

The article highlights Nécessaire The Body Retinol as a top choice for retinol treatments. Other suggested items include CeraVe SA Lotion for rough skin and Soft Services Carea Cream containing urea. Options featuring botanic derivatives like Undaria algae and argan oil are also listed for moisturizing purposes.
