The lotion and scrub makes my arms feel so smooth, I love it!! However, after about 2 weeks of using the scrub and lotion I didn't see the difference I was hoping to see (which was for it to be completely gone..haha) so one night after using the scrub I decided to try putting some Benzoyl Peroxide 10% acne gel that I had on my arms, I figured I had tried everything why not try this (and why no dermatologist ever thought to have me try it I'll never know) after only 2 times using it my arms look normal for the first time in years!!!! I don't know why it worked but it did! I will continue to use the KP scrub and lotion because I think it works as a system (I alternate days using the benzoyl peroxide and the KP lotion after the scrub) but given the results I have to credit the benzoyl peroxide with the dramatic results I've had in 2 days, my arms are smooth and bump free I honestly can't believe it. I've been so frustrated with this over the past fews years I had to pass on my find to other frustrated women!

I found 3 products that work and I'm now 98% Keratosis Pilaris FREE!!! I had read that apple cider vinegar works so I tried it. I used the raw, unfiltered organic kind (found in the organic section at the grocery store). I took a cotton pad and applied it on my clean skin at night before going to bed. Within 2 days my skin had a HUGE improvement! (ACV works nicely on facial blemishes also). However, yes, there is an ordor so I went in search of something else natural. Two soaps worked very well for me. Zum soap (I used the peppermint lavendar) had a wonderful effect on my skin all over, especially my arms. It's a little expensive so I decided to try Dr Bronner liquid soap (peppermint) and it works great also! I've been using this for a month and the Keratosis Pilaris is just about gone. Finally! I hope this post helps someone else out there - good luck! I am 38 years old and HAD this condition for as long as I can remember.

Physical exfoliation also helps (brown sugar, granulated coffee..). Theres different kinds and severity of keratosis, for that the same treatment will not work for everybody. Doctors usually dont pay attention to patients with this condition, it may not be harmful but its important for those who have it, thats why we created a forum to share our experiences and treatments.
