Priori LCA fx141 Hand & Body Replenisher: A 16% Lactic Acid Body Moisturiser

Priori LCA fx141 Hand & Body Replenisher takes the same 16% LCA lactic acid complex used in Priori's facial correctors and puts it into a 120ml body-first formula, paired with silk-protein sericin for moisture retention. It's built for rough texture, keratosis pilaris, post-hair-removal skin and the appearance of stretch marks, rather than as a plain everyday body lotion.

What is Priori LCA fx141 Hand & Body Replenisher?

It's Priori's dedicated body and hand treatment, built around what the brand describes as a 16% LCA Complex — the same lactic-acid concentration Priori uses in its facial correctors, reformulated into a balm-gel body texture. The lactic acid works as a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), loosening the bonds between dead skin cells to help improve the appearance of rough texture, dullness and keratin build-up, while its humectant properties help the formula hold moisture at the same time as it exfoliates — useful on body skin, which tends to be thicker and less forgiving of stripping actives than the face.

Alongside the LCA Complex, Priori adds sericin (a silk protein), tocopherol (vitamin E), ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) and retinyl palmitate with beta-carotene (vitamin A and pro-vitamin A) — the same antioxidant vitamin complex used across Priori's range, scaled for a larger-format, fragrance-free, colorant-free tube.

Who this suits — and who should skip it

• Rough or bumpy texture on arms, thighs or legs, including the appearance of keratosis pilaris
• Skin prone to ingrown hairs or razor bumps after shaving or waxing
• Dry, sun-exposed or ageing hands wanting a more active alternative to a plain hand cream
• Anyone already using facial AHAs who wants a body formula at a comparable strength rather than a basic moisturiser

Skip it if you want a simple, fragrance-free body lotion with no active ingredients — the 16% LCA content makes this a treatment product, not an everyday-for-everyone lotion, and first-time AHA users should build up frequency gradually. It also contains grapefruit (Citrus Grandis) extract, worth checking if you have a citrus allergy.

How to use it

• Apply liberally to clean, dry skin and massage in circular motions until fully absorbed
• Use once daily to start, building to twice daily as tolerated
• Apply immediately after shaving or waxing to help reduce the risk of ingrown hairs
• For keratosis pilaris or stretch marks, apply consistently to the affected area rather than only when you remember
• Wear SPF on any treated, sun-exposed skin — AHAs increase sun sensitivity

The ingredients doing the work

The formula is led by lactic acid, an AHA that gently exfoliates the skin's surface while also drawing in moisture — one reason it's better tolerated on body skin than some stronger acids. Priori pairs it with sodium lactate, part of skin's natural moisturising factor, to help support pH balance alongside the acid.

Sericin, a silk protein, is the formula's main moisture-retention ingredient: it forms a light film on the skin's surface that helps reduce water loss, which is useful in a leave-on treatment that's also actively exfoliating. It sits alongside glycerin, a standard humectant that pulls moisture to the skin.

The antioxidant side comes from tocopherol (vitamin E), ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) and retinyl palmitate (vitamin A) with beta-carotene — a gentler, oil-soluble vitamin A derivative than the retinoids used on the face, chosen here for better tolerance on body skin used over larger areas.

Where it sits versus Priori's facial range

The 16% LCA concentration matches Priori's facial LCA correctors, but this formula is designed for body use, not the face — facial skin is thinner and more reactive, so Priori's own guidance is to use its facial products (like LCA fx110 Gentle Cleanser) there instead. If you're building a facial AHA routine and want the equivalent step for a moisturiser, LCA fx140 Barrier Restore Complexe is Priori's face-formulated pairing.

Common questions

Can I use this on my face? It's formulated for hand and body use, and while it shares the 16% LCA Complex found in Priori's facial correctors, facial skin is more delicate — contact our team for a facial product recommendation instead.

How long until I see results on stretch marks or rough patches? Priori's guidance suggests improved texture and softness within 2–4 weeks of consistent use, with more visible change typically building over 8–12 weeks. Results vary by individual and by the age and severity of the area treated.

Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding? If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, please contact our team for advice before use.
