I don't know how many of you suffer from this, but I do. Those little red and white bumps on the backs of your arms are ugly! And nothing seems to get rid of them. I have read lots of articles saying to avoid hot showers, to use lotion as soon as you get out of the shower, exfoliating, etc. but none of those things worked for me.
Recently I saw an advertisement in a magazine for a product called DERMAdoctor KP duty. It is a lotion for dry skin but it claims to "eliminate dry skin, crustiness, flaking and rough, red chicken skin bumps". I decided to try it.
I went on Sephora's website and read a lot of the reviews on there first. People seemed to think it worked, but it is pricey, $48 for 120 ml (4 oz.). Then I found DERMAdoctor KP "double" duty and thought I was getting the body scrub and lotion together for $79. Apparently I needed to read the details a bit better because what the "double" duty meant was I got two bottles of the lotion together for $79.
I have used the lotion twice a day after showering, which is only 4 days so far, and already see an improvement. The cream is very thick and you don't need a lot of it, which means it will last a good amount of time (bonus because it is so expensive!). I only use it on my upper backs of my arms and regular lotion everywhere else, but you could use it on your whole body. My skin is very soft after using the lotion, the bumps are a little less noticeable, and the redness has improved. Already I feel that the lotion was a good investment and I haven't even used it for a week!
Since I thought I was ordering the body scrub but wasn't, I will probably buy it next time and combine the two products together. The body scrub is $58 at Sephora.
I highly recommend this product for anyone suffering from Keratosis Pilaris as it actually works!
