Vivant Skincare Clear Body Therapy

Advanced Retinoid & Lactic Acid Resurfacing Body Lotion

The Vivant Skincare Clear Body Therapy is an advanced, high-potency body treatment engineered to clear stubborn back acne, rough skin texture, keratosis pilaris (KP), and lingering post-breakout discoloration. Powered by Vivant's proprietary REt (RP)™ retinoid technology (Retinyl Propionate) paired with exfoliating Lactic Acid, this resurfacing formula accelerates cellular renewal, dissolves keratin plugs, and smooths thickened, blemish-prone body skin.

Classified by Vivant as a Level IV advanced treatment, it is formulated specifically for the thicker, more resilient skin of the body—including the back, chest, shoulders, elbows, knees, and heels. Emollient and non-greasy, it blends active resurfacing agents with Grape Seed Oil and conditioning emollients to replenish the barrier while eliminating body congestion, chicken skin bumps, and sun-induced body spots.

Clinical Note: This is a Level IV advanced retinoid and acid combination formula. It is formulated for resilient body skin and is not recommended as a facial retinoid or for delicate skin.

Key Benefits

  • Advanced Retinoid Renewal: Features Retinyl Propionate to stimulate rapid cellular turnover, refine rough skin texture, and restore skin smoothness.
  • Targets Body Breakouts: Clears follicular congestion, suppresses micro-comedones, and prevents new acne lesions on the back, chest, and shoulders.
  • Smooths Keratosis Pilaris (KP): Lactic Acid and Retinyl Propionate biologically loosen dense keratin plugs, eliminating rough "chicken skin" bumps on arms and thighs.
  • Fades Post-Breakout Dark Marks: Exfoliates damaged, pigmented cells to visibly fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and sun-induced body spots.
  • Softens Thickened, Rough Skin: Resurfaces rough elbows, knees, heels, and areas prone to hyperkeratosis.
  • Deeply Conditions Body Barrier: Formulated with Grape Seed Oil, Mineral Oil, and Glycerin to prevent dryness and maintain barrier suppleness during active exfoliation.

Targeted Skin Types & Concerns

  • Best For: Normal, Oily, Very Oily, and Resilient body skin types appropriately acclimated to active retinoids.
  • Skin Concerns: Back acne (bacne), chest/shoulder breakouts, persistent body congestion, keratosis pilaris (KP), rough follicular bumps, uneven body tone/texture, thickened elbows/knees/heels, and post-breakout dark marks.
  • Not Ideal For: Facial use, sensitive or delicate skin, compromised skin barriers, active eczema/dermatitis, or individuals new to topical vitamin A treatments.

Sensory Profile

  • What You'll See: Visibly clearer, smoother, and more even-toned body skin with significantly reduced acne lesions, flatter KP bumps, and faded dark marks over time.
  • What You'll Feel: A rich, conditioning lotion that spreads smoothly over large body zones and absorbs completely without a sticky, heavy, or greasy residue.

Key Active Ingredients & Science

  • REt (RP)™ Retinoid (Retinyl Propionate): Vivant’s proprietary vitamin A ester that penetrates deep into follicular walls to regulate cell proliferation, flush congestion, and smooth rough texture.
  • Lactic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with inherent humectant properties that gently dissolves intercellular "glue," hydrates the stratum corneum, and sheds dull surface cells.
  • Grape Seed Oil (Vitis Vinifera): A lightweight botanical oil rich in linoleic acid and essential antioxidants to nourish the skin barrier and prevent dryness.
  • Purified Mineral Oil & Dimethicone: Occlusive emollients that lock in moisture, protect against trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), and soften hyperkeratotic tissue.

How to Use

PM | Advanced Body Treatment Step

Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin on targeted body areas (such as the back, chest, shoulders, upper arms, elbows, knees, or heels). Avoid the face, eyes, lips, mucous membranes, and freshly shaved or broken skin.

Manufacturer's Acclimation Schedule:

  • Weeks 1–2 (Short-Contact Method): Apply to the target area in the evening, allow it to sit for 3 hours, and rinse off thoroughly with water.
  • Weeks 3+ (Overnight Leave-On): Gradually increase contact time as skin tolerance develops until the formula can be comfortably left on overnight.
  • If Irritation Occurs: Reduce application to every 2–3 nights or temporarily pause until the skin barrier recovers.

AM: Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to exposed treated areas is mandatory. Lactic Acid and Retinoids increase photosensitivity.

Amare Clinical Tip: In skin of color (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), body acne and keratosis pilaris are frequently accompanied by stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). While active exfoliation is necessary to smooth texture, over-exfoliating can trigger inflammation and darken hyperpigmentation. Always start with the 3-hour rinse-off acclimation phase on sensitive zones like the chest and inner arms before attempting leave-on overnight use.

Important to Know

  • Level IV Retinoid Body Treatment: High-potency formulation designed strictly for resilient body skin.
  • Avoid During Pregnancy: Contains Vitamin A derivatives (Retinyl Propionate); contraindicated during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy.
  • Do Not Apply Post-Hair Removal: Avoid applying immediately after waxing, shaving, laser treatments, or aggressive body scrubs.
  • Acclimation Reactions: Mild dryness, temporary tightness, light flaking, or superficial peeling may occur as cell turnover accelerates.
  • Daily Sun Protection Essential: Treated areas must be protected with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or protective clothing during daylight hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Vivant Clear Body Therapy be used on the face?

No. Clear Body Therapy is formulated at a higher potency specifically for the thicker, more resilient skin of the body. Applying it to delicate facial skin can cause severe peeling, redness, or barrier disruption. For facial retinoid needs, select a facial-grade vitamin A serum.

How does Vivant Clear Body Therapy help Keratosis Pilaris (KP)?

Keratosis pilaris occurs when dead skin cells and keratin plug hair follicles, creating rough "strawberry skin" bumps. The dual combination of Lactic Acid and Retinyl Propionate dissolves keratin plugs while normalizing cell shedding, smoothing bumps effectively.

Is this body treatment suitable for menopausal skin experiencing body acne?

Yes. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can cause sudden chest and back breakouts alongside overall skin dullness. Clear Body Therapy smooths texture and clears follicular congestion, provided the body skin is resilient and properly acclimated.

REt (RP)™ Retinoid — Retinyl Propionate

Vivant's proprietary vitamin A technology features retinyl propionate, a retinoid ester used to improve the appearance of uneven texture, roughness, and visible signs of skin aging.

Retinoids influence epidermal renewal and can support a smoother-looking skin surface over time.

Retinyl propionate is not the same ingredient as prescription tretinoin, and the two should not be considered clinically interchangeable.

Lactic Acid

An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps exfoliate accumulated surface skin cells, improve rough texture, and promote a smoother, brighter appearance.

Lactic acid also has humectant properties that support moisture retention.

Grape Seed Oil (Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil)

A skin-conditioning emollient containing fatty acids that help soften rough areas and maintain a supple skin feel.

Mineral Oil

An occlusive emollient that helps reduce moisture loss and soften dry, thickened skin.

Dimethicone

A skin-conditioning silicone that helps create a smoother surface feel and reduces moisture loss.
