Best lotion Ive tried for KP
So I've had KP since I was a teenager, and my dermatologists have always prescribed me either a lactic acid lotion or just a moisturizing lotion with urea. These never worked for me, and I pretty much gave up on treating my KP after a few months. It was a terrible, sad, dark time :*(...
Now that I am a bit older and more sensible, I realize that it was kind of silly to feel so insecure about my skin. So even though I feel amazing now, I still wanted my skin to look as good as possible :) I decided to try those old lotions again, and stick with it at LEAST for a month. Fast forward a month and still nothing changed!
Anyways, I ended up researching ALOT about KP and ingredients use to treat it. AHAs, BHAs, scrubs etc... That's how I ended up finding out about this lotion on google. I just felt like other products weren't strong enough for my KP, but this one definitely is. Usually lotions only have 10% glycolic acid, but that didn't work for me, so I wanted to try 15%. This was the only one that I found that had 2% salicylic acid also which apparently is great for deeper exfoliation. The lotion tingled a bit the first few times I applied it, so i knew it was working.
Overall I think any exfoliation lotion with a high enough concentration of acids will work to smooth your skin, if you use it consistently everyday. BUT, with this you know its strong enough and its great for the redness which is what bothers me the most. ALSO the lotion smells great, not like most of the other lotions with glycolic acid. I've been using this lotion twice a day everyday for 3 months now and i'd say the improvement is slow, but steady, getting better by 10% each month that goes by. Definitely give this a try!
