Feeling a bit frustrated by those tiny red bumps at the back of your arms? They are most likely keratosis pilaris or what everyone is more familiar with, “chicken skin”. Although a huge part is due to genetics, the origin remains to be unknown.
There’s no 100% cure for it. But luckily, there is a lot that we can get our hands on to lessen the bumps, improve the texture of our skin, and calm down inflammation.
Neostrata Lotion Plus
I have been using this lotion for more than 2 years now because of my notorious KP found in front of my thighs and at the back of my arms. This, I can say, is tried and tested.
It contains 15% glycolic acid, which is why it is able to combat stubborn chicken skin easily.
Since the dose is pretty high, you can expect itchiness right after. So it’s best applied on skin that does not have cuts or is not sensitive.
Cerave Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin
This goes for those who need moisturisation in addition to exfoliation.
Its combined formulation of salicylic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid can handle thick, rough, and dry skin.
While salicylic acid is dealing with dead skin cells, everything else is working to improve the skin barrier.
