    FAQs

    Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment is a clinical-grade body serum formulated by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Heather D. Rogers that accelerates cell turnover, builds collagen, and repairs visible signs of aging on the body. It earns its nickname "Laser in a Bottle" by delivering face-level active ingredients to body skin, improving crepey texture, uneven tone, dark spots, and rough skin without the downtime or cost of in-office procedures. The formula uses a three-ingredient active system: 7% Glycolic Acid removes dead surface cells and stimulates hyaluronic acid production, 0.5% Bakuchiol stimulates collagen production and firms skin as a retinol alternative, and 5% Gluconolactone provides gentle PHA exfoliation with added humectant hydration. These actives are delivered in a skin-supportive base of Squalane and Shea Butter. In a 28-day consumer perception study, 100% of participants agreed skin looks tighter, feels firmer, feels softer, and looks more uniform in color, and 92% agreed skin looks less crepey. People Magazine named it one of the Best Beauty Launches of May 2025.
    Yes. Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment addresses crepey skin through two complementary mechanisms. First, 7% Glycolic Acid exfoliates the layer of dead, dull surface cells that make crepey texture more pronounced, immediately revealing smoother, more even skin underneath. Second, 0.5% Bakuchiol actively stimulates collagen production over time, gradually improving the firmness and thickness of skin that makes crepey texture visible. Crepey skin develops when the dermis loses collagen and elastin, causing skin to become thin, loose, and wrinkled in texture, commonly appearing on the inner arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees with age. Unlike a simple moisturizer that temporarily plumps the appearance of crepey skin, Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment targets the underlying cause by rebuilding the collagen structure that keeps skin firm. In a 28-day consumer perception study, 92% of participants agreed skin looks less crepey when using Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment on alternating days with Doctor Rogers Body Cream.
    Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment is specifically formulated with ingredients that target the root cause of keratosis pilaris (KP), the rough, bumpy texture most commonly found on the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. KP is caused by a buildup of keratin that blocks hair follicles and creates small, hard bumps. Chemical exfoliants that dissolve dead skin cells are the most effective treatment approach, and glycolic acid is among the best studied. Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment uses 7% Glycolic Acid, which is a higher concentration than the face formula because body skin is thicker and more tolerant of stronger exfoliation. With consistent use, this exfoliation helps dissolve the keratin plugs that cause KP bumps, producing visibly smoother texture over time. Gluconolactone (5%) adds additional gentle PHA exfoliation that also hydrates, preventing the dryness that can worsen KP. For KP specifically, daily use may be more effective than every other day use. Always follow with Doctor Rogers Body Cream to maintain hydration and minimize any irritation.
    Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment is built around four key bioactive ingredients. Glycolic Acid (7%) is the most effective and well-researched AHA, proven to remove dead skin cells, activate cell turnover, and increase hyaluronic acid production in the skin. It is dosed higher than the face formula because body skin requires stronger exfoliation. Bakuchiol (0.5%) is a retinol alternative derived from the Psoralea corylifolia plant that stimulates collagen production, diminishes wrinkles, improves elasticity, and smooths texture, all without retinol's irritation or pregnancy restrictions. Gluconolactone (5%) is a gentle poly-hydroxy acid (PHA) that exfoliates while also acting as a humectant, hydrating skin as it improves tone and texture. Squalane is a bioidentical moisturizer that restores fatty acids and antioxidants to the skin. These actives are supported by Shea Butter for barrier repair and Jojoba Esters for lightweight hydration. The formula is completely free of fragrance, essential oils, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, PEGs, silicones, mineral oil, petrolatum, and microplastics. Every ingredient is biodegradable and meets Doctor Rogers' Ingredient Integrity standard.
    No. Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment contains no retinol, retinoids, or vitamin A derivatives of any kind. Instead, it uses Bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient from the Psoralea corylifolia plant that has been clinically shown to produce retinol-like anti-aging benefits without retinol's side effects. A 12-week clinical study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that 0.5% bakuchiol and 0.5% retinol produced comparable improvements in wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin texture, but retinol users experienced significantly more stinging and skin scaling. Because Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment uses bakuchiol rather than retinol, it avoids the pregnancy restrictions that make retinol off-limits for many women, and eliminates the adjustment period and peeling that retinol requires. For those seeking a retinol alternative for the body that delivers clinical anti-aging results without irritation, Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment is specifically designed for that purpose.
    Apply Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment to clean, dry skin every other day, alternating with Doctor Rogers Body Cream. The recommended routine is: Day 1, apply Doctor Rogers Body Cream. Day 2, apply Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment. Day 3, return to Doctor Rogers Body Cream, and so on. This alternating protocol was the approach used in the 28-day consumer study that showed 100% of participants experienced visible improvement. The alternating routine matters because it gives skin the active treatment it needs on treatment days, while the Body Cream days provide the hydration and barrier support that help skin recover and respond effectively. Apply to clean skin using one to two pumps per area. Do not apply to irritated skin or immediately after hair removal. Nighttime application is recommended because glycolic acid increases photosensitivity. For areas with daily sun exposure like the chest and hands, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
    Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment is formulated with ingredients that target multiple contributors to body acne and ingrown hairs. The 7% Glycolic Acid exfoliates the layer of dead skin cells that trap sebum and bacteria inside pores, helping prevent the clogged pores that cause body breakouts. Bakuchiol has demonstrated antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties in research, which can help reduce the bacterial contribution to acne and calm the inflammation that makes breakouts more visible. Gluconolactone (5%) provides additional gentle exfoliation to keep pore openings clear. For ingrown hairs specifically, the glycolic acid helps dissolve the dead skin buildup that traps hairs beneath the surface, which may reduce the frequency and severity of ingrown hairs on legs, bikini line, and underarms. Do not apply immediately after hair removal, as freshly shaved or waxed skin is too sensitive for active acids. Wait at least 24 to 48 hours after hair removal before applying.
    Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment and Doctor Rogers Night Repair Treatment share key active ingredients including Bakuchiol, Glycolic Acid, and Gluconolactone, but are calibrated for different skin. Body Repair Treatment uses a higher concentration of Glycolic Acid (7% vs 5%) because body skin is thicker and requires stronger exfoliation than facial skin to achieve the same results. Body Repair Treatment also targets body-specific concerns that Night Repair Treatment does not: keratosis pilaris, body acne, ingrown hairs, and the crepey skin texture that develops on arms, legs, and abdomen. Night Repair Treatment is specifically formulated for the delicate skin of the face, neck, and chest, with concentrations calibrated to minimize irritation in those more sensitive areas. For best results, use Doctor Rogers Night Repair Treatment on your face and Doctor Rogers Body Repair Treatment on your body, alternating in both cases with the appropriate moisturizer: Doctor Rogers Face Cream for the face and Doctor Rogers Body Cream for the body.
