Washes & Scrubs
This ERADICATED the mild KP on the back of my neck, butt, and upper arms after only a few weeks. In fact, I started seeing improvements from the first wash!
CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser
My personal holy grail. The first product where I felt the difference within minutes of application. My severe, bleeding KP on my legs has nearly vanished. I feel like a brand new person!
First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub
A great choice for moderate to severe KP. I used this and it worked beautifully before I had to graduate to harsher options due to outside reasons.
Dermadoctor KP Duty Bump Eraser Body Scrub
I love this mask specifically for the refreshing feel. I had no redness or irritation at all.
Naturium KP Body Scrub & Mask
A lovely-smelling daily wash! This was so quick and easy and left me with more confidence and smoother skin over time.
Kitsch Glycolic Acid Face & Body Wash Bar
Serums
If you have smaller KP patches or facial ones, this serum is the way to go. Pair it with a salicylic acid treatment for maximum smoothness!
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% High-Strength Exfoliating Serum
While advertised for facial use, I've also had great success with this product on my arms, neck and chest. Best paired with a solid moisturizer!
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution
Lotions
A great option for more mild KP cases. Wear it down over time by using this lotion every day, or pair with a gentle scrub for best results.
Gold Bond Rough & Bumpy Daily Skin Therapy Cream
A harsher formula for more severe cases. Lactic acid cuts through the dryness to deeply exfoliate. I loved this product, but be careful if you have extra sensitive skin.
AmLactin KP Bumps Be Gone Cream
I love this daily lotion. Pair it with the CeraVe body wash for amazing results!
Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid Lotion
If lactic acid treatments aren't for you, try urea products instead. I've found them more moisturizing overall, but this one makes my skin radiant!
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion
Here's another option for facial KP. This one specifically reduces pain and discomfort in especially rough areas.
Prequel Urea Advanced Relief Face Moisturizing Milk
Looking for a treatment with more natural ingredients? Graham's has you covered. All the same results as other brands like CeraVe or Cetaphil, but with the ingredients you prefer. Zero chance of irritation!
Grahams Natural KP Cream
Need a jampacked solution? Saltair combines all the heavy-hitters: Urea, Glycolic acid, and salicylic acid. This works wonders on the severe patches on my legs! Make sure you have a solid moisturizer to go with it.
Saltair KP Body Smoother Exfoliating Milk
Another option I loved for my more mild patches. And completely irritant-free!
