I have battled keratosis pilaris on my upper arms for years. My dermatologist prescribed this lotion to me in the past, but now it is in an OTC version. It is helpful to reduce the swelling and redness associated with those dreadful red bumps. In my experience, though, you need to start with a topical steroid cream for a couple of weeks before using this to get the best benefit. It is also a slow process and takes months to correct.

4.0 out of 5 stars 75-90% effective (for me), December 26, 2010

This was recommended to me by a professional dermatologist. I had been suffering as a young teenager with keratosis pilaris. It covers mostly my legs, buttocks, and backside of my upper arms. I have been using this and only this for over ten years now. I don't know that there is anything else better. (If there is, someone please let me know). This cream is very effective against my troubled skin. It is more of a challenge to keep the bumps down in the winter time, but I guess I could apply it more regularly too. I hesitate sometimes because of the somewhat strong ammonia smell and I wonder how this and the acids may harm my skin in the long run. Still, the benefit outweighs any other complaints.

I actually bought the product, originally, to moisturize my face after working out and showering at the gym. At first, it felt a little "greasy", but my face really did feel (and look) better. The unexpected benefit is that my thumbs no longer split/crack in the winter from drying out (at the corner of the thumb-nail). For the last two winters (north-central Illinois) my hands have been softer and crack-free! I've recommended the product to some friends with dry hands and they also love it.
