Susanne Kaufmann AHA Enzyme Body Lotion

A clinically proven exfoliating body lotion powered by a 10% AHA, BHA, and pumpkin enzyme complex to smooth rough, bumpy skin while restoring lasting hydration.

Susanne Kaufmann AHA Enzyme Body Lotion combines the refining benefits of a body exfoliant with the comfort of a lightweight moisturiser. Designed for dry patches, uneven texture, visible congestion, and the look of keratosis pilaris or “strawberry skin,” it gently removes dull surface cells to reveal softer, smoother, and more luminous skin.

A targeted 10% complex of glycolic acid, malic acid, salicylic acid, and upcycled pumpkin enzymes works across the skin’s surface and within congested pores. Albatrellus confluens mushroom extract helps soothe the skin and reduce the appearance of redness, while glycerin and a moisture-binding complex help maintain hydration throughout the exfoliation process.

Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, the lotion leaves no heavy residue—only refined, comfortably hydrated skin and a fresh citrus aroma.

Benefits:

• Gently exfoliates dull, dead surface cells
• Smooths rough, dry, or bumpy-feeling skin
• Helps improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris and “strawberry skin”
• Refines uneven texture and supports a clearer, more even-looking tone
• Helps clear pore congestion and visible body blemishes
• Hydrates while exfoliating to support skin comfort
• Helps calm the appearance of redness following exfoliation
• Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue
• Suitable for the body, hands, and décolleté

Recommended For:

• Rough, dry, or uneven skin texture
• The appearance of keratosis pilaris or “strawberry skin”
• Congested pores and blemish-prone areas of the body
• Dullness and uneven-looking tone
• Dry patches on the arms, legs, elbows, or décolleté
• Experienced acid users seeking an effective leave-on body exfoliant

Sensitive skin should introduce this active formula gradually and patch test before use. Do not apply to irritated, broken, freshly shaved, or recently waxed skin.

Why It’s Different:

Unlike a traditional body lotion that focuses exclusively on moisture, this two-in-one treatment combines chemical and enzymatic exfoliation with lightweight hydration.

Its 10% active complex approaches uneven texture in three complementary ways:

• AHAs exfoliate dull surface cells to promote smoother, brighter-looking skin
• BHA helps clear dead skin and impurities from congested pores
• Pumpkin enzymes provide additional surface exfoliation while helping preserve the skin’s moisture balance

The addition of soothing mushroom extract and moisture-binding ingredients helps make the exfoliating ritual feel balanced and comfortable.

Clinically Proven Results:

After 28 days of use:

• The formula exfoliated the epidermis by 36%
• Skin moisture levels increased by 3%
• 100% of participants said their skin felt smoother and softer
• 98% said their skin texture appeared refined
• 96% noticed improved skin radiance

Exfoliation and moisture results are from a 28-day clinical study involving 22 participants. Consumer-perception results are from a 28-day user trial involving 55 participants. Individual results may vary.

Texture & Aroma:

A silky, lightweight lotion that absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy finish. The fresh citrus-herbal fragrance creates an uplifting body-care ritual while the skin feels immediately softer and comfortably hydrated.

This product contains fragrance and is not fragrance-free.

How to Use:

1. Patch test on a small area before the first full application.
2. Apply to clean, completely dry skin.
3. Massage into the body using gentle upward movements.
4. Begin once or twice per week if your skin is new to exfoliating acids.
5. Gradually increase to two or three applications per week as tolerated.
6. Apply sunscreen to exposed areas during the day.

A mild tingling sensation may occur during the first few applications. Discontinue use if irritation or prolonged stinging develops.

Do not use on broken, irritated, freshly shaved, or recently waxed skin. Avoid applying another acid exfoliant, physical scrub, or retinoid to the same area during the same routine.

Sunburn alert: This formula contains alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acid, which can increase sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using the product and for one week afterward.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

Begin slowly—even if your skin is accustomed to facial acids. Apply once or twice weekly at night, then increase to a maximum of two or three times per week according to your skin’s response.

Concentrate the lotion on the backs of the arms, thighs, legs, elbows, and other areas prone to roughness or visible follicular congestion. Consistency is more effective than aggressive exfoliation, so avoid combining it with a body scrub on the same day.

On non-exfoliation days, use the Susanne Kaufmann Mineral Body Lotion to maintain moisture and comfort. Always protect exposed areas with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Ingredients:

Key Ingredients:

• AHA complex — glycolic and malic acids: Water-soluble exfoliating acids that loosen the bonds between dull surface cells, helping improve visible texture, clarity, and radiance.
• BHA — salicylic acid: An oil-soluble exfoliant that helps clear accumulated dead skin and impurities from pores, making it especially useful for congested or bumpy-looking areas.
• Upcycled pumpkin enzymes: Derived from pumpkin peel and flesh recovered from the European food industry, then fermented to create a stable enzymatic exfoliant that refines the skin’s surface.
• Albatrellus confluens mushroom extract: A soothing botanical extract that helps reduce the appearance of redness and discomfort associated with sensitivity.
• Glycerin and saccharide isomerate: Moisture-binding ingredients that help prevent dehydration and keep the skin feeling soft during exfoliation.
• Vitamin E: An antioxidant that helps condition the skin and protect it from environmental stress.

What does Susanne Kaufmann AHA Enzyme Body Lotion do?
It combines exfoliating acids, pumpkin enzymes, and hydrating ingredients to improve rough texture, dullness, congestion, and uneven-looking tone while keeping the skin moisturised.

Can it help with keratosis pilaris or “strawberry skin”?
It can help improve the look and feel of the rough, bumpy texture commonly associated with keratosis pilaris and “strawberry skin.” It is a cosmetic skincare product and is not intended to diagnose or treat a medical condition.

What percentage of exfoliating ingredients does it contain?
The formula contains a 10% blend of AHAs, BHA, and upcycled pumpkin enzymes.

How often should I use it?
Use it two or three times per week. If you are new to exfoliating acids or have reactive skin, begin once or twice weekly and increase gradually according to tolerance.

When should I expect results?
Skin may feel smoother and more hydrated after the first application. More noticeable improvements in texture and radiance generally require two to four weeks of consistent use.

Can I apply it after shaving?
No. Avoid freshly shaved, waxed, irritated, or broken skin. Wait until the area feels completely calm before applying the lotion.

Can I use it with a body scrub?
Avoid using a physical scrub or another exfoliating treatment on the same areas during the same routine. Alternating them reduces the risk of over-exfoliation.

Do I need to use sunscreen?
Yes. AHAs and BHA can increase sun sensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to exposed areas, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using the lotion and for one week afterward.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula contains soothing and hydrating ingredients, but it is still an active acid treatment. Sensitive skin should patch test, introduce it gradually, and discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs.

Can I use it on my face?
No. This formula was developed for the body, hands, and décolleté. Choose a facial exfoliant specifically formulated for facial skin.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Because the formula contains salicylic acid and other active exfoliating acids, consult your physician before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Is it fragrance-free?
No. The formula contains fragrance and the declared fragrance components citral, limonene, and linalool.
