My Top 10 Keratosis Pilaris Treatments

As promised in the previous post about KP, we’ll be talking about my top 10 Keratosis Pilaris Treatments today. Just before we get into that, here are some things to consider for Keratosis Pilaris Treatment.

• Use Urea body lotions.
• Apply moisturizers directly after bathing.
• Be sure to avoid tight clothes that can cause friction.
• Use AHA and BHA products – Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid work great on Keratosis Pilaris (KP).
• Topical Retinoids – Non -Prescription Retinol or Prescription Tretinoin are fantastic treatment options.

Now, in no particular order, let’s check them out.
