First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub, Exfoliant for Keratosis Pilaris with 10% AHA, 2 oz

Product Information

Upon learning what KP was, my next question was “how can I get rid of it?’ And that’s why you’re reading this post now. Strawberry legs are not the most attractive thing to look and moreover, they certainly don’t feel great either. Research states that KP tends to improve with age but I don’t want to wait and neither do you. How do I treat KP? While KP is usually asymptomatic, it is often worse in the winter and less noticeable in the summer. "Arid climates and dry skin worsens KP as skin cells are more adherent and shed less frequently when they are dry," explains Blair Murphy-Rose, MD, FAAD, dermatologist, and Clinical Assistant Professor at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center. "Higher humidity levels and sunlight are believed to help with controlling KP." While this serves as an impetus to hit the beach and catch some rays this summer, layering on a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is essential to protect yourself against skin cancer and premature aging.

My skin is so smooth it gleams. After a fresh hair removal session and exfoliation, my skin is soft but my skin truly gleams after I’ve applied my butter and oils. I’m talking about the kind of gleam and clarity to make you see your own reflection. It’s beautiful. The ingredients offer both physical and chemical exfoliation. First Aid Beauty KP Bump eraser’s first ingredient is pumice. These tiny pumice beads are amazing at smoothing rough skin. Whoever thought of that is pure genius! The pumice beads are the physical exfoliants that manually sloughs off the top layer of skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin. The First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA delivers the benefits of a chemical peel and micro-dermabrasion treatment in one. Glycolic and Lactic Acids at a combined level of 10% help loosen skin’s top layer and decongest pores with Pumice Buffing Beads that whisks it all away. I actually hadn’t intended to use this one for my KP—I had a group of retinol oils(which are way more gentle and soothing than usual retinol treatments) sitting in my cabinet after testing them for a story, and, on a whim, started slathering them on my arms. If retinol is good for your wrinkles, dark spots, acne, and literally every other skin issue, it’s gotta be good for your keratosis pilaris, right? And, as it turns out, it was. As with anything, the right treatment for your keratosis pilaris may invlolve your trying out different products. Taylor Worden, celebrity esthetician and founder of Taylor Worden Skin, says: “Everybody is different, but I would give it 8-12 weeks to fully see the results with products.”Steareth-21, Myristic Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, EDTA. To summarize based on my own experience, the KP bump eraser is an effective body scrub for dry skin types troubled with strawberry legs/KP. Not only does it smooth the skin but it gradually fades the dark spots. Consistent use will change your dry, rough legs to buttery, smooth legs you won’t think twice to show off.

While the pumice beads do that, the glycolic and lactic acid chemically exfoliate the skin by deeply penetrating the skin to fade dark marks, improve dullness and the skin’s natural moisture factor. 2. Softer skin There’s a reason why this is the cream you see over and over again in your search results for “how to fix keratosis pilaris”: It really works. But only if you use it consistently—like so, soconsistently. I’ve thrown away and rebought this lotion a dozen times, always convinced it doesn’t work for me, and always convinced I should try it again.

I thought the sugar scrub did a good job of exfoliating my skin until I used this product. If I were to rank the two products I’d say rank the sugar scrub a 6.5 on a scale of smoothness and the KP bump eraser a 10. First Aid Beauty is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals. All in all, the First Aid Beauty KP bump eraser is a product I’d highly recommend and I can’t wait to see what my results will be in another month or two.
