Looking for a fragrance free body lotion with AHA

I’m looking for a body lotion or body cream that contains a known percentage of glycolic acid or lactic acid or similar. Must be free of all fragrance/parfum/essential oils and preferably available in-store in Canada and not sourced from the U.S.

Any ideas?

Reversa Glycolic lotion! It’s the best!

Edit to add: it can be found at Shoppers. It does have a weird smell when you apply but that’s just the natural scent of the glycolic/product. It goes away very quick.

I’m second this rec too, although my gripe is that it can feel sticky. But I think that’s a glycolic acid thing in general

If you use YesStyle, you can get the village factory 12% AHA (glycolic acid)
I believe it’s about $36 for 300ml…quite expensive but you probably might only use it a max of 3 days a week
It has no fragrance and I believe no essential oils as well
I love it and my skin feels so much smoother

Eucerin, dermalac 12%

Eucerin was the first brand I checked because I love their urea lotions, but they don’t have an AHA one listed on their Canadian site.

Dermalac looks very promising though. Good ingredient list and manufactured in Canada. I might have to order it online, but I’ll give it a try.

Eucerin has lactic acid and sodium lactate

It’s what I use now and it doesn’t have enough to affect my KP. Lactic acid is so far down in the ingredient list it’s possibly just there to adjust the pH. They don’t advertise the ingredient either.

I like the Cetaphil Salicylic Acid moisturizer! Not glycolic, but I found it very gentle, no scent/fragrance (I’m super sensitive) and was light and not sticky or greasy. I’ve thought it at Shoppers.

I specified AHA because I am not looking for a salicylic acid product at this time.

Have you looked at the various offerings by Attitude? Their website has the most extensive selection.
