What the gurus are saying
The stick's genius lies in its deodorant-like roll-on format, which lets you glide exfoliating acids and shea butter into every body crevice without mess or hands. Gurus praise it for smoothing rough bumps on the back of arms, tackling keratosis pilaris and body acne, and easing discoloration, with one noting the texture on their arms went noticeably smoother. Because the formula combines two exfoliating actives, those with sensitive skin like armpits may want to start with just two to three times a week and patch-test first.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
