Keratosis Pilaris Treatment
Smooth skin is no longer as far away as you thought it was. You, too, will be able to experience the joy of soft, bumpless skin. There isn’t a cure but there are treatment methods available to help clear up that redness and those bumps. Many ingredients exist out there that help immensely with your Keratosis Pilaris, but there are specific ones that help more than others. The type of products you should be looking into should contain at least one of the following:

Glycolic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that is a chemical exfoliating agent to help smooth and re-texture skin. Donnell AHA 20 Body Lotion is a recommended exfoliating lotion that contains 20% glycolic acid to remove dry and dead skin while simultaneously moisturizing and softening it.

Lactic Acid: Another alpha hydroxy acid that helps remedy the symptoms of Keratosis Pilaris. LactiCare Lotion is a low glycolic acid concentrate helpful for children, or more sensitive areas such as the face. AmLactin Moisturizing Cream is a more potent cream used to treat those with a harsher case KP.

Urea: A dermatologist favorite, used to tame even the crustiest of skin. Carmol 10 Lotion is a recommended product for tackling the driest of skin to keep the skin healthy and moisturized.
