I have been using this product since November 2022 but stopped in between after my elbows were smooth and winters too kicked in. I realised how rough my elbows had become again when I stopped using this cream. Let’s check the review of Active Topicals BHA body cream that I received for Instagram Review.

Packaging, Texture and Fragrance
The body cream is housed in a white, plastic jar of 200 grams. I do feel the product is easy to scoop out easily and apply. However the jar isn’t travel friendly due to the quantity. The product is ultra white in colour with a salicylic acid serum kind of fragrance that is very mild and non bothering. The product texture is very soft and airy and the consistency is slightly light creamy but not too thick. I do like the product’s fragrance and texture.
My experience with Active Topicals BHA Body Cream
The body cream has very subtle fragrance and isn’t too heavy for day to day use. It sufficiently moisturizes the skin without any greasy and oily residue. It does take some time to absorb into the skin. I usually apply this body cream at night since it contains AHA as well which can make the skin sensitive to sun.
Initially when I started using the cream on my dark elbows and knees it took some time to see visible effects. In between I stopped using it and resumed again after winter was over. Second time onwards I noticed visible effects in as less as 5 days.
The cream reduces roughness of elbows and brightens them up with regular use. The cream can also be used all over the body for regular exfoliation. It brightens up the knees and reduces bumpy skin after shaving. I also found a difference in inner thigh pigmentation with regular use of 3 weeks. The body cream helps exfoliate while being gentle on the skin as well as without irritating it. I would highly recommend getting this cream if you have dark elbows like me that do not budge to anything.

Active Topicals BHA Body Cream Review
I would totally recommend getting this cream if you are looking to get smooth body skin while being gentle with it. It reduces roughness of elbows, knees and other body parts while brightening up the skin. Not only does it exfoliate the skin but also makes it super soft to touch. I have seen visible effects in brightening up of inner thigh pigmentation too. My dark elbows do not budge to any exfoliating product. However, this Active Topicals BHA Body Cream has been a saviour for me.
