I wanted to use this for a while before leaving a review and I can say that I really like this lotion! It leaves my skin soft, moisturized, and has slowly helped to improve my overall tone. I also would like to thank Grace for the handwritten message; I truly appreciate it.
Thank you to Grace and your wonderful shop! I have had keritosis pilaris on my torso for several years, and have yet to find a dermatologist or product to reliably manage it. An esthetician suggested I try lactic acid, so I ordered this lotion.
I greatly appreciate the personal handwritten note from Grace with instructions for use! This product smells surprisingly GREAT, like a mango smoothie. Much better than drugstore treatments. I’ve been applying to affected areas for several days and already see a difference in the most stubborn areas.
This lotion is a bit sticky and tingles on application, so I use small amounts. A little goes a long way. I have not had adverse reactions and will keep using as my primary KP treatment. Thank you, Grace!
I wish I could leave more then 5 starts. I am not new to aha I have used them all you name it I have used it. This is by far the best I have used. In just 7 days this lotion is softening and making my skin glow like no other. And the store owner is probably the best sell person I have come across. She is truly amazing.
You wouldn’t regret it if you buy this product trust me. I am going to stock up I never want to be without this stuff.
Really awesome lotion! Does not feel greasy. It has really helped to reduce my keratosis pilaris on my arms within a couple days of using it. Hopefully with some time it will lighten my tan a bit. Definitely will repurchase!
This is my second purchase of this item. I’m am very particular about what I use on my skin and this leaves a glow like no other.
Best product I’ve Ive ever had- 100% positive results. I’ve tried dry brushing, exfoliating, every natural oil available- and nothing has cleared my dry skin or hydrated it- until THIS product!
Used after the bath/shower, it keeps my skin hydrated, plump and absolutely NO dry skin, flakes or patches. Even the eczema on my knees is gone.
Yes, I love it and completely recommend it- and that’s coming from someone who had to pay the same price as the product in shipping- it’s worth it. And her lovely hand written note made me feel like I was more than just the recipient of a marketing product- it made me feel like a person. And in the shopping experience these days, that’s a rare gem to appreciate.
Why is this 20% lactic acid lotion so different?
A Mermaid’s Grace 20% Lactic Acid Lotion stands out because of how gentle it is. It is also formulated and handcrafted with minimal ingredients so that the star ingredient (Lactic Acid) can get a chance to work on your skin without hindrance.
Naturally, the skin goes through cycles whereby old skin cells are removed and replaced with new ones. For people with extremely dry skin conditions, the process is a lot slower, and instead of the old skin cells falling off by themselves, they hang on for a lot longer until they are physically or chemically removed (exfoliated). This is why dry skin feels rough.
Old, dry skin cells make it harder for most moisturizers to penetrate deeper into the skin. The unique ability of this 20% Lactic Acid Lotion to penetrate fast into your skin, and hold moisture for an extended period of time, makes it one of the best body lotions you’ll ever use. Once it has penetrated the skin, it locks in moisture and the lactic acid (alpha hydroxy acid) goes to work. It gently but gradually exfoliates dry, hardened, and flaky skin exposing the softer, smoother skin underneath. This process leaves your skin feeling soft.
In order to keep this newer, softer skin feeling and looking good, it needs to be protected with intense long-lasting moisture as well as hydration and this is what this lotion does for your skin.
Lactic is a very gentle exfoliant and most skin types can use it without adverse reactions. Because of the gentleness of lactic acid, you can use this lotion daily. Consequently, this gives lactic acid and other ingredients such as niacinamide, in this lotion, extended contact with your skin, and as a result, your skin will look and feel smoother, softer, and radiant with each use.
Lactic acid is naturally found in the skin as one of the Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). What’s more, lactic acid increases the water-holding capacity of the skin which in turn increases skin hydration and skin turgor.
Not only does it decrease the rough texture of the skin by gentle exfoliation, but also increases collagen production which is essential for skin structure integrity.

*Ingredients are subject to change
This lotion is handmade in small batches for high quality. I use only natural and safe ingredients which are free from:
- Parabens
- Phthalates
- Petroleum
- lanolin
- Formaldehydes
- Oxybenzone
- Artificial Colors
- Synthetic Fragrance
Always start with clean skin. Cleanse your skin with a gentle or mild soap. This helps to thoroughly remove surface dirt, dead skin, built-up oils, grime, and toxins. If your skin is not clean, the lotion will NOT penetrate properly. Moreover, applying lotion to dirty skin will not be a pleasant experience.
Apply to slightly damp skin. The extra moisture on your skin helps transport the lotion and seal it in.
To apply: Scoop out a small amount with your finger. Rub together in the palms of your hands and apply evenly to your skin. repeat as needed.
A Mermaid’s Grace 20% Lactic Acid Lotion is ideal for any adult who’s used lactic acid lotions before or Ahas in general. If you have extremely dry, rough, bumpy, flaky, and dull skin, this lotion is for you. The acidity level on this lotion is pretty high and is the maximum recommended strength for a leave-on lotion.
If you have never used lactic acid lotion before, start out with our 10% strength lotion or our 15% strength and gradually increase the strength.
Even though this body moisturizer brightens skin, it is not a skin whitener. Therefore, if you are looking for a skin-whitening solution, this may not work for you. The exfoliation only exposes the skin color that’s already naturally yours that’s usually brighter and smoother.
Sometimes your skin may need a break from the acid and in that case, you can alternate with this A Mermaid’s Grace Intense Moisture Moisturizer. It will keep your skin feeling moist and comfortable all day.
This lotion might work on your feet also, however, if your feet are really dry, hardened, and cracked, this foot cream will work wonders on your feet. Check it out.
This body lotion is NOT to be used on your face. Here is a Lactic Acid Face Cream you can use on your face.
This moisturizer is for external use only! Keep out of children’s reach. If any allergic reaction occurs, please stop using it immediately. Should symptoms persist, see a doctor.
