5.0 out of 5 stars Best lotion for KP, September 11, 2007

I love this lotion for my KP, and my extremely dry skin.
It really works best of all the products I have tried, not to mention it is the most affordable. I like this lotion because it doesn't hurt $$ to use all over rather than just my KP spots.

I bought this to help with KP, but it's not really helping. I am using it with Carmol 20 Cream and I haven't seen much improvement. Oh well.

I bought this cream to treat my keratosis pilaris aka chicken skin. You know you have it if all your life you've had little bumps on your outer arms and usually on your thighs. Some think they're razor bumps or pimples. But it's really a build up of keratin around your hair follicles. So you need a cream with alpha hydroxy to break it down and "melt" it away.
I read all this on a Keratosis website. They suggested this cream as one of the "cheaper" solutions, so I found it on Amazon and I gave it a shot.
It arrived nice and safe. The cap was taped shut when I opened it, which helps prevent spillage in transit, nice. The label says it's suggested by Dermatologists and Podiatrists, so you can use it on your elbows, feet, etc. I did and it worked nicely!
I put some on my forearms, which are the worst for me, and it seemed to immediately smooth out the bumps! My boyfriend brushed up against my arm and noticed how smooth and cool to the touch it was immediately. He too has keratosis.
It's not greasy and doesn't slough off after you rub it in like some creams do. It does have that "tart" alpha hydroxy smell though, and I prefer a more pleasant smelling cream. But you can't smell anything after it dries, so it's not a huge deal.
The directions say to apply it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I hear that you may not see permanent results until after 4 weeks. But so far I can see some improvement. I'll update you later!
