There was a time when bodycare routines didn’t go beyond a quick swipe of lotion—but we’ve evolved since then. Today’s bodycare rituals are equipped to tackle everything from stubborn bacne to strawberry legs. Helping them on this mission is a new wave of skincare actives, formulated to target common body concerns. Expect everything from the exfoliating power of salicylic acid to the redness-reducing benefits of niacinamide.
We’ve long been layering dewy serums onto our faces for every possible concern—now, your bodycare routine is getting the same treatment. To keep body acne and blemishes in check, this lightweight serum from The Ordinary brings salicylic acid into the mix to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and improve the appearance of marks and breakouts. Just like a facial serum, apply it on clean skin and massage in circular motions until fully absorbed.
Gone are the days when bodycare stopped at lotion. Today, your skincare favourites are showing up in more versatile forms—like this nourishing emulsion from The Ordinary. With 5% niacinamide, it helps tackle dark spots, blemishes and uneven skin tone while keeping the skin barrier strong. The formula is lightweight and silky, making it easy to use all over—whether on your face or body.
If your body lotion isn’t doing more than basic hydration, it might be time for an upgrade. This formula from Minimalist adds skincare actives into the mix, with 5% niacinamide to repair the skin barrier, reduce inflammation and tackle pigmentation caused by sun damage. Shea butter, glycerine and betaine work together to lock in moisture and leave skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished. It’s a solid post-shower option that doesn’t just moisturise but treats too.
If you like your skincare products to go the extra mile, this multitasking toner deserves a spot on your shelf. Made with 8% glycolic acid, it’s designed to exfoliate and refresh skin from head to toe—whether you’re using it on your face, body, underarms or even your scalp. It removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores and helps balance oil production. For best results, apply a few drops on a cotton pad and swipe over clean, dry skin until absorbed. No rinsing needed.
This lotion brings exfoliation and hydration together in one easy step. With 10% AHAs and 1% BHA, it targets rough bumpy texture, body acne and clogged pores—making it especially helpful if you struggle with strawberry legs. The formula also includes niacinamide to calm inflammation and support the skin barrier, along with salicylic acid to gently clear congestion. Use it regularly to smooth skin and prevent future flare-ups.
Not sure whether to go for a body wash or a treatment serum? This option from Dove lets you have both. With 1% salicylic acid, it gently exfoliates and clears away pore-clogging impurities while its creamy hydrating texture keeps skin soft and balanced. It’s particularly effective on acne-prone areas like the chest, back and shoulders, where excess oil often builds up. A great pick for daily use if you’re dealing with frequent breakouts.
This body lotion checks all the boxes: a moisturising base, a long-lasting fragrance and skin-loving ingredients. It’s infused with cocoa butter to deeply nourish and boost skin radiance while niacinamide helps regulate oil and improve overall texture—especially helpful if you have acne-prone skin. The addition of ceramides supports a healthy skin barrier and reduces puffiness. All that, wrapped up in a fruity-floral scent that lingers through the day.
