What the gurus are saying

Smoothing rough bumps, from chicken skin to dry, cracked heels, is where these experts keep landing. The formula pairs 10% urea with 5% lactic acid and 0.1% encapsulated retinol, and it feels like a thick, rich cream that doesn't cake or leave skin greasy. The one thing to keep in mind is the price, which runs a bit higher than some alternatives, so those on a budget may want to compare first.

But [...] if you have a lot of texture, you might have bumps, you might have breakouts, I always recommend this to everyone."

Biggest GLYCOLIC ACID Mistakes - How To Use Glycolic Acid Correctly
"This is the Remedy For Body Bumps. This has a good strength of urea in here which I love. It's also got a touch of lactic acid which is my favorite exfoliator. So this is kind of like a one-stop shop. You don't even need to use glycolic alongside this if you don't want. However if you want to dial up the results you can use a glycolic acid alongside this to kind of get maximum outcomes. Use this daily."

"So I'd say this takes a multipronged attack to texture on the body, exfoliate it away, smooth it out, but also nourish and hydrate so it doesn't dry everything out. I love this. It's probably one of the most effective KP chicken skin treatments I've ever used. I'm on bottle two of it now and I absolutely love it. If you're in for a little body care and you want to get summer body ready, I think this is such a nice product."

"The four body bump super stacked KP and textured skin treatment from Remedy has lactic acid, retinol, and urea. It's a super, super nice body lotion. [...] This is Dr. Shaw's brand and I really appreciate that he's kept things more affordable."

"Remedy For Body Bumps also has urea, again just one of those functional ingredients paired with a lot of other ingredients with complimenting benefits. So 10% urea in that formula. It's a [...] more comprehensive product targeted towards more textured treatments on the body as we age and even dry cracked heels, which is what my mom uses it for, but more comprehensive formula but still incorporating urea."

"This is something that we always used for thickened skin, anywhere for keratosis pilaris, for thickened and dry cracked heels. I mean it has so much utility and it's a very gentle ingredient on the skin. [...] We spent two years working on the urea formula, [...] and we launched with our Remedy For Body Bumps which has 10% urea also with lactic acid and retinol to really target those body bumps."
Black Friday Deals and Skincare Q&A
"Remedy For Body Bumps has kind of all of these ingredients in it. It's got your retinol in it, higher concentration than the Versed one, and the urea and the lactic acid so it can treat both the KP and it can also treat the dark spots that come afterwards. It's a little bit more pricey, so if you're looking to save a little bit I would go with the other one, but if you can stomach the price at $21 then I would say this has everything in it so it's a good option."

Keratosis Pilaris? Crepey Skin? New Product Alert from Remedy Science 🚨
"This is a full body moisturizer, rich cream, doesn't cake. Aesthetically it's a huge win for me. I created this formula with keratosis pilaris, body bumps, body texture, any type of pigmentation that can occur on the skin in mind. But I really thought about it afterwards and I realized that this is also going to do quite a bit for crepey skin as well. [...] This product has 0.1% retinol encapsulated, 5% lactic acid, and 10% urea all into one formula."

"If you have what's called keratosis pilaris, I think you may find that this particular formulation helps to address some of those visible changes and improve the overall appearance of the skin. It's a really good formula. I don't have any problem with it. It doesn't peel, it doesn't leave the skin feeling filmy or greasy. I really liked it. I did go through it very quickly, but then again that's me, I am a glutton for moisturizer."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Source: DermNet

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.
