How to treat Keratosis Pilaris (KP) without having such expensive medicine?
Different things work for different people, so if something doesn't work for you, keep looking. I had great success using Neutrogena Skin Smoothing Body Lotion, but of course they discontinued it. I'm now using Eucerin Plus (must be the "plus" - that's the one with alpha hydroxy and urea). I'm not as consistent with it as I should be, but it does seem to be making a difference. Check out the websites below to connect with other people who have KP - they may be able to suggest some other products. From everything that I've read, products with glycolic acid (if you can tolerate it) and urea are the best choice. Lactic acid works for some and is better for sensitive skin. Salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid) also works. Be careful to use sunscreen when you're using these lotions, though, because they make your skin more susceptible to sunburn.
Reply:I have it on the back of my upper arms %26amp; the only time in my life when I was able to get rid of it was when I lived in a very warm climate (instead of 4 season climate) %26amp; washed the area daily with L'oreal Exfotonic exfoliator (gently scrubbed for about 10 seconds with a loofah).





The product is discontinued - but if you found a similar product that has alpha-hydroxy in it %26amp; is an "exfoliator", it may work for you.
Reply:I had great results with the following product. It is called Glytone. Originally it was prescribed by my dermatologist and I found it online. I now purchase it online for less money. Here is the link and give it a try - I found it worked awesome and I don't have any bumps anymore.
