A salicylic acid cream can exfoliate, soften and smooth very dry skin – from scaly skin on your legs to bumps on the backs of your arms (and all the rough skin in between). To remove dead skin cells and help you get the smooth skin you want, we recommend using a cream for rough skin that contains salicylic acid and lactic acid for gentle exfoliation, hydrating hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and barrier-restoring ceramides to help reduce moisture loss. In addition, a moisturizer for rough and bumpy skin can help improve skin texture and help keep your skin hydrated.
