Collection: Body Lotion︱Creams

The most effective time to apply Korean body lotion is quickly after stepping out of the shower while the skin is still slightly wet. Applying lotion to damp skin seals in surface water before it evaporates, allowing the moisturising ingredients and active nutrients to penetrate deeper into the skin barrier.

Exfoliating body lotions combine hydration with chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs to gently dissolve dead skin cells. Instead of relying on abrasive physical scrubs, they continuously smooth out rough patches, brighten dull tone, and unclog pores over time. They are ideal for anyone dealing with rough elbows, dry knees, body breakouts, or bumpy skin textures like Keratosis Pilaris (the so-called ‘strawberry legs’).

Absolutely! In the same way we should never skip a moisturising step in our Korean skincare routine, we should also take care of our body. Applying a body lotion or cream every day helps keep your skin soft, hydrated, and comfortable, especially during colder months when harsh weather can leave it feeling dry. 

* Malkn Tip: We shouldn’t forget about our hands either. Frequent washing and daily exposure to the weather can strip away moisture, making a nourishing hand cream an essential part of your everyday body care routine too.

While 12% AHA might seem intimidating, the Village 11 Factory Exfoliating Body Lotion is safe to use for even the most sensitive skin. Its AHA concentration is, in fact, balanced by 7 types of hyaluronic acid, ceramides and Centella Asiatica that deeply hydrate the skin and minimise any form of irritation. This way you will be able to target body acne, while also keeping your barrier protected. 

* Malkn Tip: If you have extremely sensitive skin, we advise you to patch test the body lotion first before committing to full-body application.

Yes. Whenever you use an AHA exfoliant, it's important to apply sunscreen to any exposed areas during the day. AHAs work by removing dead skin cells from the surface, leaving newly revealed skin more vulnerable to UV damage. If you're applying the Village 11 Factory 12% Relax Day AHA Exfoliating Body Lotion to areas such as your arms, chest, shoulders, or legs, follow up with a broad-spectrum Korean sunscreen during the day. This will definitely help keep your skin protected and prevent any sun damage.
