★★★★★ Loved by 600+ women who finally finished a bump product
Real customers, real arms they'll go sleeveless in.
From women who'd quit every bump product
"First bump product I've ever actually finished."
Eleven half-used bottles in my bathroom drawer — this one swipe replaced them all. By week three my arms were smoother than they'd been in years. The rough is gone and it keeps getting better.
"My husband rested his hand on my arm and I braced for the flinch that never came."
For years I'd angle my arm away when someone reached for it. Five weeks in, he grabbed my forearm on the stairs and there was nothing to hide — the sandpaper is gone. The backs of my arms are the smoothest they've been in a decade.
"By the second week the mid-week rough stopped showing back up."
The bumps used to be back by Wednesday, like clockwork. By week two of the stick they just stopped coming back — and by week three my whole upper arm was flat to the touch. I keep running my hand over it because I can't believe it.
"I have ADHD and I quit every product by day six. Day six came and I still had it."
Every routine I've ever started dies around day six — that's just my brain. This is one swipe, no rinsing, no timer, so I actually kept it up. Three weeks in my arms were smooth — the format is the whole reason it worked on me.
"Wore a sleeveless dress to a wedding — first time in three years."
The red calmed within weeks, then the roughness melted away, and one morning I reached for the cardigan out of pure habit — and didn't need it. Wore the sleeveless dress to the wedding. Didn't think about my arms once.
"My massage therapist stopped mid-session and asked what I'd changed."
She's worked on my shoulders for two years — a month in she stopped mid-session and asked what I'd changed. I hadn't even told her. The red calmed by week two; the texture change is that obvious.
Read this first
You didn’t fail the lotion. It failed you.
Not the acid. Not your willpower. The format.
You’re not weak. A lotion you rinse off never stays on long enough to work. A leave-on stick does. That’s the fix.
Why nothing has worked
You've tried everything. The bumps came back every time.
Here's why each one left your arms right where they started — and why quitting by day six was never your fault.
Smells like old milk, all day. You stopped by day six. Not because it didn't work — because you couldn't stand it.
A weird greasy film. The redness just sat there under it.
The acid was right. The bottle was unlivable — so it sat in the drawer while the bumps stayed.
Smooth for a day. Then right back — often redder than before.
A ritual that resets every morning. It never reaches the plug in the follicle.
They sand the top and irritate the skin. Made my KP worse. Temporary by design.
It's not you. Not one of them kept a real dose of acid on the plug long enough to break it down.
Avolei Bare does. A leave-on stick that gives the acid the contact time to break the plug down, so the bump flattens and softens.
How it actually works
The bumps keep coming back for one reason. Contact time.
Keep a real dose of acid on the plug and it dissolves — that's why the stick works where everything else failed.
Why the bumps keep coming back
The keratin plug IS the bump
Scrubs never reach it
Lotions sting, film, get quit
How Avolei Bare clears them
7% glycolic stays on all day
The plug dissolves — bump flattens
10% shea — zero sting
More than 8 in 10 women feel smoother arms by week three — and it keeps compounding every week you stay on it.

What's inside
What's inside — and what each part does. A leave-on dose, built to stay on the bumps.
Every scrub smoothed your arms for a day, then quit. Here's what each swipe does instead.
Every bump is a keratin plug around the follicle. Leave the stick on and the acid stays on the plug long enough to break it down — the contact time you were missing.
✓ Dissolves the keratin plug
Oil-loving, so it works inside the follicle where glycolic works the surface. Trapped hairs release and the bump flattens instead of resetting overnight.
✓ Clears inside the follicle
This is why you don't quit it. The shea base glides on instead of stinging and backs the barrier while the acids work — no raw, angry skin.
✓ Glide + barrier
No pump, no film, no smell. Uncap, swipe like a deodorant, done in ten seconds. The format you'll actually finish — the only reason the acid works.
✓ The one you don't quit
A splash you rinse off never touches the plug. This stays on, so it compounds daily — where a scrub just resets the rough layer every morning.
✓ Compounds instead of resetsOne swipe a day. The texture smooths first, the redness calms next, and the dark dots fade as the plugs clear — it compounds every single day.

They quit every other bump product first
Real comments from women who'd given up on the arm and leg bumps.
postpartum KP turned both my arms into red sandpaper and i had zero minutes for a routine. one swipe by the changing table — two weeks later the red was gone and my arms were smooth. best thing i've bought since the baby came
i used to wear long sleeves to strength class just to hide my arms. three weeks with this stick and i was in a tank top last tuesday like it was nothing. smoothest the backs of my arms have EVER been
bought this for my 15 yr old who hid in hoodies all summer. three weeks in she came downstairs in a t-shirt with smooth arms and i almost cried. she does the swipe herself — it's that easy
What to expect
Smoother arms you can actually feel, week by week
The acid stays on the bumps and compounds daily. Here's exactly what happens.
The swipe you don't dread
Ten seconds. No smell, no film. For once, you reach for it.
The sandpaper eases
Arms feel smoother to the touch. You run a hand up your arm and notice.
The red calms
Roughness has softened. The flush fades as the plugs clear. Your arms stop looking angry.
Smooth, and holding
Calmer, softer skin that stays — because you didn't quit this one. A hand lands and finds skin.
The rough goes first. Then the red. Then the dark speckles fade — and it keeps compounding as long as you keep swiping.
From the founder
I built this for the arms I used to hide.
“I had bumpy arms and strawberry legs for years, and I quit every lotion, scrub and acid pad I ever bought — not because they had the wrong ingredient, but because none of them fit into a real morning. So I made the one that does: a leave-on glycolic stick you swipe on in ten seconds and actually keep using. The acid finally stays on the bumps long enough to smooth them. This is the one I wish I’d had.”

Walk away. That's the point — the acid stays on the plug long enough to break it down.

Smoother within the first weeks — and better every week after. This is the one you keep.
The real cost of waiting
Every season you wait, the plugs sit longer
