Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common skin condition characterized by rough, bumpy skin with small red or flesh-colored bumps. It is caused by excess keratin production that forms plugs in hair follicles. Research indicates that KP has a genetic component and is associated with atopic conditions like eczema. While considered benign medically, KP can cause significant aesthetic and psychological distress.

Unlike most KP treatments that contain only a single active ingredient (typically either lactic acid or salicylic acid), This Cream combines four complementary ingredients at their optimal concentrations to address both the structural (bumps) and inflammatory (redness) components of KP. Additionally, our formula is pH- balanced precisely for maximum efficacy without irritation.

This Cream is formulated to be gentle enough for most skin types. The inclusion of niacinamide helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduce potential irritation from the acids. For sensitive skin, we recommend starting with application every other day and gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Always patch-test before full application.

Yes! While this cream was primarily developed for keratosis pilaris, its formulation is equally effective for follicular keratosis that occurs after shaving (commonly called "strawberry legs"). The salicylic acid component helps prevent ingrown hairs while the anti-inflammatory ingredients reduce post-shaving redness.

Most users report noticeable improvement in skin texture within 2-4 weeks of consistent use, with significant reduction in both bumps and redness by 8 weeks. Individual results may vary depending on KP severity, consistency of application, and individual skin biology.

This Cream is specifically formulated for body use. While the ingredients are commonly used in facial products, our specific concentrations are optimized for the thicker skin on the body. For facial KP or similar concerns, please consult a dermatologist.
