A salicylic acid lotion is an effective way to restore skin smoothness by exfoliating and softening dry skin on the legs and other problem spots like the elbows and knees. The ideal lotion for rough skin contains salicylic acid, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid and ceramides. We recommend a hypoallergenic, non-irritating lightweight moisturizer like CeraVe SA Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin to help smooth skin texture.
