For smoother, more even-looking skin from head to toe, meet Saltair's new Glycolic Renewal Body Smoother Exfoliating Spray. This exfoliating body spray is powered by 10% glycolic acid, licorice root and kakadu plum extracts to help renew and brighten skin, and target uneven tone, and refine texture in one fast, easy step. Just mist, let it absorb, and follow with moisturizer. No scrubbing, no rinsing, no complicated routine.
What Is a Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Spray?
A glycolic acid exfoliating body spray is a leave-on body treatment that delivers chemical exfoliation in a fine mist. Unlike scrubs or wash off exfoliants, a spray format lets glycolic acid sit on skin and works over time to slough off dead surface cells in place. The result: skin that looks smoother, more refined and more radiant without any physical buffing. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a small molecular size, which means it can penetrate the surface layer of skin and support cell turnover. It's been a staple in facial skincare for years. Now, Saltair brings that same clinical-strength ingredient to body skin in a format designed for full-body use.
What Does Glycolic Acid Do for the Body?
Your body skin deals with its own set of concerns. Dullness, rough patches, uneven tone, dry texture and buildup can all make skin look less vibrant or feel less smooth than it should. Glycolic acid targets those concerns by exfoliating at the surface level, helping to:
- Slough away dead surface skin cells
- Smooth rough, uneven texture
- Refine the look of uneven skin tone
- Helps support a brighter, more radiant appearance
- Prep skin to absorb moisturizers more effectively
Because skin on the body is more tolerant, it can typically handle a higher concentration of glycolic acid. That said, we always recommend starting with a patch test and gradually building up to more frequent use to see how your skin responds.
Glycolic Renewal Body Smoother Key Ingredients
The formula goes beyond glycolic acid alone. It combines AHA exfoliation with brightening, soothing and texture-refining support. It provides dual-action exfoliation, combining a chemical AHA exfoliant (glycolic acid) with a biomimetic tripeptide that supports skin’s natural exfoliation process. Rainbow algae and licorice root extract help improve uneven tone and texture while providing soothing properties to the skin, while kakadu plum extract helps brighten.

FAQs
Can you use glycolic acid on your body?
Yes, glycolic acid is widely used in body care, and body skin can generally tolerate higher concentrations than facial skin. The Glycolic Renewal Body Smoother is formulated at 10% specifically for full-body use. We always recommend patch testing or avoid use if you have a known sensitivity to AHA or acid based products.
How often should you use an exfoliating body spray?
A few times a week is a good starting point. You can adjust based on how your skin responds. If you're new to AHAs on the body, start with once or twice a week and increase as tolerated.
Do you use glycolic acid before or after moisturizer?
Before. Apply the Glycolic Renewal Body Smoother to clean, dry skin and let it absorb. Then follow with your moisturizer of choice to lock in hydration and nourishment.
Can you use glycolic acid body spray every day?
It depends on your skin. Some people can tolerate daily use, but starting with a few times a week is recommended. Monitor how your skin feels and adjust from there.
What's the difference between an exfoliating body spray and a body scrub?
A body scrub provides physical exfoliation by buffing away dead skin cells during your shower. An exfoliating body spray like the Glycolic Renewal Body Smoother uses chemical exfoliation (AHAs) after your shower to dissolve dead skin over time without any physical scrubbing. Both can be part of a body care routine, and they complement each other well when alternated. Just be sure to start slowly to reduce the risk of irritation.
Can glycolic acid help with uneven texture on the body?
Glycolic acid helps exfoliate the surface layer of skin where texture and uneven tone tend to be most visible. The Glycolic Renewal Body Smoother also includes licorice root and kakadu plum extracts, which provide additional support to help soothe skin and boost radiance.
Does glycolic acid make your skin sensitive to the sun?
Yes. AHAs like glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity and the possibility of sunburn. Apply sunscreen on exposed areas and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week after stopping use.
