I like Naturium's Salicylic Acid body wash for my arms and use it most days of the week. Twice a week I use Naturium's Glycolic Acid Mask Scrub on my arms where I have KP. This combo plus Prequel's Urea Lotion in the morning and Naturium's Retinol Body Lotion before bed has cleared up my arms.

I use Bioderma Body Oil Wash on the rest of my body.

Black african soap with an African net or the Naturium salicylic acid body wash

I also like the olay body washes!

You can use the Acnefree oil free benzoyl peroxide cleanser if you really want to manage acne bacteria. It's also very comfy and elegant. Otherwise you don't really need general antibacterial washes. You should just be looking for a nicer body moisturizer. The gold bond age renew retinol lotion would be nice for that

I’m in Australia and I use Glowy Skin Exfoliating Body Wash 500ml - it’s $10 and lasts me months!! I use it after gym .

Antibacterial soap will just destroy your natural skin biome and likely lead to issue like yeast infections.

It’s not recommended for body wash unless you’re about to have surgery or have a specific medical issue.

Have you tried natural bar soap? Not the store bought bars...a real, natural (probably handmade) bar. The glycerine content is usually much higher in natural bar soaps which really helps with dry skin.

I started taking the collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid and vit c and it has helped my skin so much. My arms used to feel so bumpy.

Following this. I’m 35, always had it on my upper arms (and even on my upper legs when I was younger). Now my 2 year old has it on her upper arms and legs too. I was so self conscious about it as a child - I don’t want my baby to be. 😢 I’ve tried so many things but to no avail.

Is that what the red bumps on my upper arms are?? TIL

I have KP too and super sensitive skin CeraVe SA Body Wash has helped a lot. It’s gentle but still exfoliates. Follow with a thick moisturizer and it makes a big difference!

I started 10 days ago so I can’t really say for now, but it’s supposed to help ! Do you let it sit on your skin during the showing ? They’re meant to stay a little ( 2-3mn ) and then rinsed off

Idk about fading kp marks but the naturium salicylic acid body wash has smoothed out my kp bumps

I have been using the Sirona Bodywash. It seems to help my KP. This summer I experienced extreme itching on my back as well as my chest and neck. Right now thankfully its under a little under control and I have repurchased the bodywashes in sale.

You cant 'cure' KP but can stay ahead of the curve.

1. Exfoliate
2. Moisturize

See a derm. Till then this is what I do..I have/had severe KP on my legs.

1. Exfoliating with salicylic acid face wash on body. I use saslic ds 2% every alternate day. Followed by cerave moisturizer/ vaseline advance repair on damp skin( most important)
2. Rest of days plain cold water shower followed by moisturex cream. (Urea n lactic acid)
3. Every night body lotion again ( I try to but now that things so much got better , I skip. Come winter, every night will become must. ) Some advice physical scrubs, I used body shop gloves in my teens but felt it was too harsh). I dont use.

You will see amazing results in two wk . Status now : 90 % bumps gone. PIH is still there. Planning to incorporate lab muffin DIY vit c for body but I am lazy as of now.

Important : if I stop doing this, KP will be back to square one . You have to understand that etiology is still not clear though hair shaft defect and follicular keratinization defect have been proposed. So it is all about symptomatic management. Hope it helps.

Check out Dr. Sutvak on instagram. She uploaded a reel recently with budget friendly suggestions.

This is one of the few things that has a noticeable effect for me. My skin is much smoother and less bumpy afterwards. If you want a stronger effect, you can lather it on your dry skin like a mask for a few minutes before you scrub it with water.

Has it helped with areas of pigmentation on the body (if you have any)?

this product gave me psoriasis. never again

Ive been using and its not done much for me 🤷🏼‍♂️

The KP scrub is their best product imo

I’ve been using Bump buster by a new k-beauty brand called Geoul Gwanli; its worked wonders so far, highly recommend!!

In DM, you can find Balea beauty expert peeling (greenish and white bottle) with salicylic acid on your body. I use it after showering to prevent razor bumps and it is working great. It is also ultra cheap, so you I recommend you try it :)

There's a body wash for men from L'Oréal with SA.

Cerave carries an SA body wash and the ordinary has an SA serum. The solution also has a lotion with SA.

Any face product will work on the body. Guessing you're not using salicylic acid all over your body but targeting areas so a salicylic acid face wash will do just fine (if not better).

I sometimes get KP on the outer edges of my upper arms. Dry brushing and chemical exfoliation help (Balea 15% urea lotion and Balea AHA body lotion both help and basically completely eradicate it when it shows up)

I think it may help since it has tea tree oil which helps with bacteria and has AHA which also is used for kp

I have used this for my Kp and it really made a difference. I use their toner pads tio

If you’ve liked another part of the range I’d give it a go. Nothing to lose. Then again I have countless of half empty tubes in my bathroom cabinet trying to treat my KP

For me, acid exfoliating and diligent moisturizing alleviated my KP, probably because the acid helped break down the plugs and the moisturizers keep dry plugs from forming, is my guess.

I don’t think cleansing is really the key here for KP, because it’s not like a dirty thing. Since the oil cleanser is working for you I would stick with that, I use a bioderma cleansing oil type thing on my KP regularly, and it helps, but I still always use a fry skin moisturizer ever since I learned what KP was like 7-8 years ago.

The real breakthrough for me was the acid exfoliation, I discovered this a year or two ago, by putting some pretty fermented kefir on my skin as a sort of mask. Kefir is a probiotic drink, kind of like yogurt, I make it everyday. It has lactic acid in it, which is an alpha hydroxy acid. I soak some washcloths in it and then put it on the back of my arms for about 20 min, then shower like normal. That helped immediately in a few uses.

I don’t have body acne really so I can’t speak much for that, but whenever I do have some breakouts on my back, usually from summer and being sweaty, I’ll just wash with my salicylic acid face wash and that helps a lot.

What cleanser are you using, perhaps it contains acids, which is usually what helps best with kp.

Eucerin Urea 10% so far has been the best thing I have tried for my KP. Recently my partner even commented on how smooth my hips are (don't laugh anyone KP on my butt/hips has been really annoying me before this lotion).

I use baby oil on my body right after the shower after patting dry. It’s amazing and my KP is virtually gone.

i started getting deep keratin acne on my back, may sometimes come to a little head but i can feel under the skin how full and deep it is. i started double cleansing it and it’s doing too good of a job, actually cleansing the skin right off the acne, emptying the weird keratin liquid like stuff from it and leaving an open wound ….. idk if it’s good or bad but im just happy to have found something that works.. the scan heals the deep keratin deposits don’t 🤷🏼‍♀️
