Exfoliating Moisturizer with Glycolic Acid in Acne Atopic Dermatitis Eczema
by Memphis Dermatologists George Woodbury Jr. M.D. (01/30/2025
Dermatologists like myself have long known that certain types of moisturizers – called “Exfoliating Moisturizer” – tends to be helpful for people who are prone to Acne, Eczema, and Atopic Dermatitis. So what’s an Exfoliating Moisturizer?
And Exfoliating Moisturizer is a lubricant for your skin which also promotes replenishing of the outmost layer of your skin, the Epidermis. Most Exfoliating Moisturizers contain what are called emollients, ingredients that moisturizer, but also one of a set of chemicals called Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or AHAs, also known as “Fruit Acids,” because they were originally discovered in sugarcane and pineapple.
For years, I’ve been recommending that the Acne patients and Atopic Dermatitis patients in my own Memphis Dermatology practice to incorporate an AHA called Glycolic Acid into their skincare routine. So after 25 years of practicing as a Memphis Dermatologist, in 2016 I decided to establish a skincare products company - Big River Silk Skincare™ Inc. – to manufacture and distribute organic moisturizers containing Glycolic Acid. It’s the active agent within GlycoShea™ Facial&Neck Lotion and GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream. This moisturizer also acts as an antiwrinkle cream to improve skin color, texture, and tone,
GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion is a helpful fragrance-free exfoliating moisturizer that acts in skin rejuvenation, helping to even out the appearance of fine lines in the skin, making it an anti-wrinkle cream. 1 oz ($45.95), 2 oz ($68.95), and 8 oz ($229.95).
GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion is a helpful fragrance-free exfoliating moisturizer that helps you to cope with dryness of hands and feet, due to its Refined Shea Butter, but with the added qualities of its Glycolic Acid. We also manufacture GlycoShea Hand&Body Cream as a fortified moisturizer with a higher content of Refined Shea Butter, particularly useful if you use your hands – for young parents doing lots of laundry, electricians, surgeons, bakers, and nurses 1 oz ($22.95), 2 oz ($34.95), and 8 oz ($114.95).

If you or a family member has complexion issues, Acne, Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema), or Psoriasis, consider getting an evaluation with a Dermatologist.
