Hey Beautiful People! I definitely misspoke! BHAs PENETRATE DEEPER! My bad! So sorry if this caused any confusion!

Everything You Need to Know About Acids! ruclips.net/video/pNcyp-05bbs/видео.html Thank y’all for being so patient! 💜
I’ve watched a lot of keratosis pilaris videos on RUclips and I’ve never seen anyone actually show their results for a full 30 days with check-ins like that. Loving this! Thanks, girl!
Lauren H Thank you so much girl! I try to show y’all what I would like to see in a review video! I hope I could help! I’m working on a video to help with the dark spots! So stay tuned! 💜
I second this! I’ve picked up a few (bad) habits throughout quarantine and one of them is picking at my kp, especially out of frustration that nothing is working. I’m going to try this Ordinary stuff!
Totally unrelated... but I looked at your username and read the comment. The whole time I'm thinking "I never commented that!!!" Yeah, we just have the same first name and last initial. Hey initial twin!! 😂😂😂

My keratosis Pilaris holy grail: goat milk soap. I buy homemade Goat milk soap from the farm businesses in my state or Etsy. A bar costs $5 to $8. It keeps my keratosis Pilaris in check. Smooth skin all day without ever using lotions, scrubs, extra stuff. Been using goat milk soap for years. Never have bumpy skin since.
@@Loa.Dreamer awesome! Many thanks! Have the toner already there and will definitely try it! Sounds more promising and easier than some other KP treatments. What's your experience after almost one year?
Y’all ok lemme put y’all on in the shower coat your skin with the 10% sulfur bar soap for one minute then rinse it off with cold water then when you get out the shower immediately put on a lactic acid or Salic acid lotion on your skin so that the lotion can sink into your pores while they’re still open and I’ve seen a huge improvement in just the few days I’ve been using this method , hope it helps y’all
CERAVE SA LOTION FOR ROUGH AND BUMPY SKIN WORKS YALL!!! It’s kinda expensive in my opinion (about $16 for 8 ounces) so I use it on my problem areas. It helped smooth out my underarms and stomach:)
Life of a Dreamer Yes pls do! Sadly no, it doesn’t help with dark spots, at least for me. All it’s done for me is smooth out the skin. The feeling AND appearance. But I use it as a spot treatment bc it’s such a small amount. That’s why I was here to find a body lotion for a decent price😭
I now bathe with black soap and use Eucerin Roughness Relief. It has the ingredient Urea. When the derm diagnosed my KP, the expensive prescribed medication was contained urea. I tried the Gold Bond Rough & Bumpy, but it left a noticeably white film on my arms.
Amlactin, cerave SA bumpy skin, alpha and glycol lotion all help and have moisturizing properties since the ingredients are AHA/BHA especially for Kp. Using Sunscreen is very important afterwards so you don’t burn. Thanks for this...
Thanks you for sharing this video. I have KP on all of my bodies except my face, Thank God. It makes me so insecure if i use short pants or short t-shirt, but after saw your video that you showed your KP clearly and confident with it, it makes me more confident too now. Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you! You’re brave just to even comment this! KP is soooo common! You don’t have anything to be insecure about! We’re working on it together! I am also working on a video to help with the dark spots as well! Stay tuned! 💜
I personally think the spots are a beautiful imperfection I wouldn't worry too much about not seeing them lighten up like you hoped, I like them especially since the toner helped even out your skin tone😊
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been looking everywhere for info on KP and glycolic acid specifically. Finally came across this video, after getting super irritated with videos that didn’t even address KP other than to exfoliate. 😆🙄 This video was super informative, to the point AND showed REAL results. Thanks again girl!!! 😊
Oh seriously! I was about to say the same thing. No one addresses kp and just tells about exfoliation. It's super annoying. And I was looking for something with glycolic acid and this video was very helpful.
I found out i had KP in the weirdest way, my friend was talking to me one day and she was talking about how she had these spots on her legs, and how she had the condition. I was like ’’ omg I have that too’’ and I had it my whole life and never knew what it was.
We had to wear uniform jumpers at my elementary school, which were sleeveless. And I absolutely hated sleeve-less stuff( and still do, to an extent) because of my kp. I didn’t know what it was, but I’d always have a different classmate around once a month or two notice my arms and ask why I had such big/so many goosebumps on my skin. I was so embarrassed that I’d just pretend to shiver a little and say that I’m always cold. 😭 I was happy to learn when I got older what it was and how common it is for others, too. Still working on finding a remedy for it tho
For more great result you have follow it up with body lotion contains glycolic acid 12 %. Also the ordinary if you use continuously it will light the dark spot we are talking about 2- 3 months
You should try AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution from The Ordinary to lighten the pigmentation!!! It really works on dark pigmented areas. I have also used it on regular scars from the iron or oven and it also really lightens them!
Soumaya Brandon I actually have this peel! I never thought to use it on my KP because I was scared to irritate it, but I keep getting this suggestion. I may have to try that. Thank you! 😊
Yes! My holy grail for my face it removed all the white bumps on my forehead and gave me glassy skin. but not on my body, whole bottle will only last for few days.. 😆
Hey! Just wanted to share my experience. Cerave SA cream and clean & clear daily exfoliant have worked amazing on my legs, I used to never show my legs and now they are pretty smooth. KP can be a pain in the ass, I hope everyone can find something that works for them!
That’s amazing! I keep hearing good things about the CeraVe SA cream and soap! I have to try it! It’s kind of hard for me to track down. I may have to order it online. Thank you for sharing! I’m definitely gonna try it!
For some reason I only have it on my elbows and knees. Exfoliating and moisturizing has made them feel smooth, but it doesn’t make them go down any, which sucks. I’ve had people point it out before in person, and it makes me slightly self conscious. But oh well.
Omg ur a lifesaver for this !! ive had KP on my arms for so long I usually wear long sleeves. And I have this toner !!! But I use it on my face. Never thought to try it on my KP. Thank you soooooo much 😭😭😭
For a physical exfoliant on my body, I use the acne version of the St Ives apricot scrub (peep the Target Up & Up version for a cheap dupe). It has salicylic acid in it so it’s a chemical exfoliant, too. I also use an inshower moisturizer (Nivea) and lather with lotion after, too. Gonna try this toner especially with winter around the corner.
Great video 👌🏻 thanks for sharing! Just a small rectification it's actually the other way around : BHAs penetrate deeper in the skin and are used for acne and unclogging pores while AHAs are for exfoliating the top layer of the skin hence why it's helpful for treating KP and smoothening those rough bumps.
I don’t have the bumps but you can see the little dark spots where my hair grows. There less dark when I shave and exfoliate but darken back the next day. How do I lighten them😢
The most people have it on their arms and legs, but I have it everywhere except my face and legs. I’ve tried EVERY lotion,crème,oil 😭 I’m so tired of it. Definitely wil try the toner!!!
Hey boo! Careful not to use it every day. And try turmeric soap and real black soap to lighten the spots whilst using the acid. Consistently too, not everyone will get overnight results. Love!
Eucerin used to make a lotion that worked well; not sure why they discontinued and reformulated it. The new version is not good. The Ordinary (online) designed a custom regimen for my face that included 10% Mandelic Acid (MA) + HA to help with dark spots. I decided it was to oily for my face and repurposed it for my KP-affected legs, since it triggers exfoliation. Now, I add The Ordinary 10% MA to Gold Bond Radiance Renewal body lotion and it has worked wonders. I tried this first with the Gold Bond Rough and Bumpy Skin Cream, but that stuff smells sour, so I switched. The dark spots are not yet all completely gone, but my legs are so much smoother. I exfoliate too, but not harshly.
Hey girl great video. I think you have AHAs and BHAs mixed up. BHAs penetrate deeper into the skin because they’re oil soluable while AHAs stay on the surface bc they’re water soluable. You should focus on salicylic acids since kp traps oil and dirt under the skin causing the raised bumps. Also glycolic acid may actually worsen hyperpigmentation, especially darker skinned women. You may want to switch to a gentler aha like mandelic acid because the molecule are bigger and therefore gentler on the skin. And one more thing, it isn’t the best to combine physical and chemical exfoliation, especially on the same day, as again you may worsen the hyperpigmentation due to excess irritation. It’s best to limit physical exfoliation 2-3 times a week if you feel like it’s a must, but personally I would just not do it at all.
Yes, I definitely mixed up my acids! I will have to clarify in a more in depth video. But also, it depends on the skin. Salicylic acid irritated my skin, as well as chemical + mechanical exfoliation together (depending on the methods used). Which is why the gloves and glycolic work for me. I have sensitive skin, so I have to do a lot of experimenting to find out what works 😂 luckily nothing has darkened my dark spots, but I haven’t found any good techniques to lighten them either. I’m working on that, because a lot of people have to same problem. But I also want a solution that everyone can afford. I know there are very expensive treatments & products out there that can help, but not everyone has money to keep spending, so I hope to find something affordable to fix the texture and hyperpigmentation of KP, maybe even a cure. Hopefully I will find a solution soon!
Hey girl! I have the same issue but check out first aid beauty’s KP bump eraser scrub and the gold bond rough and bumpy body cream. Both make my skin so soft and help with textured skin. I also use the glycolic acid toning solution
Omg I also developed KP on my arm same as you. I didn't know what was going on I've always had super smooth skin and then BAM!! KP I'm so glad someone knows how to treat this condition.
Thank you so much… I found that baths help more than showers… I soak for a bit and then use sand, believe it or not, to exfoliate and it works quite well. I just take a scoop of sand and rub it gently on the area, not using soap nor cleanser.
Coincidentally also I used The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner to improve the stuck-on dead skin on my elbows because the physical exfoliation didn't completely resolve it. The glycolic acid helped a lot, as it also helped my face where I had leathery dead skin on my cheeks, but unfortunately it didn't unclog my pores. I learned that BHAs go deeper than AHAs so I started using my Peter Thomas Roth face wash wich has glycolic/AHA AND salicylic acid/BHA in it (I applied it on at night and slept in it like a mask) I saw an immediate/overnight difference in my pores with less oil. I wonder if a BHA like salicylic acid will help clear out the pores on my legs. I have strawberry legs and plan to try BHA (either Peter Thomas Roth face wash or The Ordinary's salicylic masque I just ordered) to see if it helps. Have you tried ever BHAs for the remaining spots/dead skin and oil trapped in the pores?
I am Trying so many things to clear these dark spots! Nothing is working yet, as far as AHAs or BHAs. That Peter Thomas Roth face wash sounds amazing! I will have to try it! Possibly an overnight mask would help! Thanks for the help!
@@Loa.Dreamer I find that Nair hair remover helps. It exfoliates. It doesn't remove it completely, but I see an immediate difference in the black dots/visible hair follicles. A friend of mine started waxing her legs and over time it completely removed it. I mean COMPLETELY! Perfectly poreless looking. Regular waxing at a salon is not in my budget. She does a DIY wax... but I'm not willing to put in the work not okay with the pain. I look forward to my salicylic masque arriving! I'm going to see if the Peter Thomas Roth wash as a masque makes a difference in my strawberry legs. You've inspired me!
I was told by my skin doctor that laser hair removal would help with KP as this would remove hair from that area, and no more plugged pores/follicles underneath the skin. But i havent tried it yet because the procedure is expensive 😭 maybe it'll be best to save up for kenzzi.
That is true, laser does help for KP. I have not seen any results personally. I am not sure that IPL is as strong as a laser hair removal machine to see KP results, at least for me. Maybe for other people.
You should look on living social or Groupon and lurches a laser hair removal package. I’ll be doing so this week because i ti have strawberry legs. I’ve been exfoliating etc but I honestly want to be hair free as well lol
can I use glycolic acid on bikini area to clear Keratosis Pilaris? how many time a week should I use it and how long after will I see result also what moisturizer is best use on bikini area after using the acid
Glad I came across this video. I’ve had KP on my right arm since I was 12. I’m nearly 30. I thought it was a heat rash that never went away! I’m going to try this. It’s always more visible in pictures for some reason 😒
I’m soooo glad I found your channel! I struggle with the same thing in the same area. I can’t wait to try this toner!! 😩🤞🏽I’m also a licensed esthetician .... I’m OBSESSED with skincare!!!💜💜💜 #newsubbie 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Shae' Marie Thank so much for watching and subscribing! I love skin care as well! So dope to have another esthetician here! 😊💜 I’m still trying to find more solutions! Let me know if you have any as well!
Thank you so much 💕 I’m one of the unlucky people who have this on their face (only on the right side for some reason) and on my butt, I will definitely try this
Just remember that the skin on the face is a little bit different than the rest of your body. So probably don’t exfoliate or scrub too hard. It can make things worse! I hope this helps! Also, so many people have been raving about the CeraVe SA lotion and soap. I haven’t tried it yet, but maybe that can help. I’m hoping to order some, it’s so hard to find in my stores near me!
So how about it now Ma’am? Has it gone finally Cus in day 30th I can see it’s still there on ur arms 😞Cus I want my own gone am about to purchase this product this morning
Oh yeah and I forgot u have to use a spin brush for showering I promise if u do that everyday it will help a LOT. And do REGULAR CHEMICAL PEELS. A week before chemical peel tho DON'T EXFOLIATE USE A CLOT SPONGE FOR SHOWER MOISTURE MOISTURE PREP SKIN THEN!!!! DO CHEMICAL PEEL. IF U EXFOLIATE AND DO CHEMICAL PEEL U WILL GET MESSED UP
yeah remember that it take a while for your skin to turn over so in the long run y’all will definitely see your skin lighten all so get moisturizing lotion that will treat kp
Thanks for the advice - sorry I thought BHA penetrates deeper than AHA? PHA is the gentlest and then AHA targets the top level of the skin and then BHA is deeper? Please clarify xx
Yes! I misspoke on that one! BHAs do penetrate deeper. I will be making a video about the acids to help clarify a lot of things since I didn’t really talk much about them!
Love this. Do you think this would be a good "pre tan treatment" before putting self tan on ? I get those little pore dots on my legs when I do and I wonder if this would help prevent this ?
Why not use the Ordinary skin lighteners? They have a lot of products that compliment that toner. It’s just a toner, your only going to get so much results using one product.
I have tried many lightening products from them and other brands. Nothing has worked for me so far. I’ll keep y’all posted when I find what works for me. Some people have left what works for them below for others to try. Hope it works!
I’m currently using pixi’s glycolic acid and CeraVe’s rough skin lotion along with a body scrub. I’ve stopped shaving completely to let my skin heal. I only have it around my ankles which makes it look like I’m wearing anklets 😭 I thought tweezing would make it better but it made it so much worse.
I have a lotion called ammonium lactate lotion (12%, really thick) given to me by a derm. I don’t know what this is but is it okay if I also use this glycolic acid with it?? Or am I only supposed to use one?
How often should I put glycolic acid on my legs? Since I heard that I shouldn’t do exfoliation everyday on my face, I’m not sure if it’s the same for my legs
The skin on the body is usually stronger than facial skin, but to be safe only do it every other day or only a few times a week, just to be safe. Feel out what your skin is telling you it can handle.
I only have these on my legs and I got in after puberty it was so random. I’ve only shaved my legs once in my life because I barely grow hair. When I exfoliate the bumpy ness goes away but it’s still dark
Soooo,I’ve been searching on RUclips for KP videos as long as I can remember and while some of it has gone down, it’s never disappeared. Hearing u say there is no cure and no known cause ....is both a huge disappointment and relief at the same time.
I had this condition since a kid, my dad has it too. In the shower I use pumice stone with an Dove exfoliate and I make sure my water is hot because it helps to soften the skin and use Vaseline to moisturize.
I really need HELP!! I’m a guy and I’m not sure if this is what I’ve got, but I’ve got hundreds of these tiny bumps on both sides of my nose and a little bit under my eyes I can’t really feel them when I touch them and they won’t go away no matter what I do can you please help me.
Huzaifa Atif From what you’re describing, those may actually be milia. Those can be removed by a dermatologist. They have to be cut open & the dermatologist will squeeze them out. Try to speak to a dermatologist for a diagnosis.
Hi I m using CeraVe SA cream and it smoothened my skin but again it didn't lighten black spots. Please update us once u find out solution to lighting those spots. Thank u 😊
I get redish brown dots all over my legs after waxing.....so it's like strawberry legs all over. So will a glycolic toner really help to get rid of it???
Hey! Thankyou for this video. I'll surely be giving a try to the ordinary glycolic toner. Also, I had read somewhere that BHAs penetrate deep into the skip surface than AHAs. Can you please clear this?
Yes, BHAs have smaller molecules and can penetrate deeper in the skin to help even a exfoliate. Most people use them for acne or exfoliation issues. AHAs are more for surface problems on the skin. Most people use them for things like dark spots or evening texture. It just depends on your skin and preference.
@@Loa.Dreamer Thank you for clarifying this because you said it in reverse in the video so I was very confused. This video was so helpful though and I can't wait to try your tips! Thank you!
@@rachelacevedo1447 Yes! I mixed it up in this video. So sorry! But here’s my video all about acids, hopefully it’ll clear things up as well! 😊 Everything You Need to Know About Acids! ruclips.net/video/pNcyp-05bbs/видео.html
Any tips for KP on the forehead? Dermatologist have misdiagnosed me for over 10 years. I’m not sure if I should do physical or chemical exfoliation and what products to use.
I have not experienced KP on the forehead before. The skin on the face is different than the skin on the body. I would say whichever method of exfoliation you choose, it should be gentle to start off with. A scrub with very tiny grains, like sugar, would probably be best to start off with. Also, don’t forget a good moisturizer to help soften that skin.

BHAs penetrate deeper in the skin and are used for acne and unclogging pores while AHAs are for exfoliating the top layer of the skin hence why it's helpful for treating KP and smoothening those rough bumps.
Yes, that is in the pinned comment. Thank you for watching!
Honestly I see no difference. I can only take your word that your skin feels smooth. Great video though!
It takes months to see results!
this video deserves more views and likes. so informative
Thank you so much! 😊 I hope to bring many more helpful videos!
I don’t have the bumps but you can see the little dark spots where my hair grows. There less dark when I shave and exfoliate but darken back the next day. How do I lighten them😢
I’m trying out some products to help with the dark spots as well! It’s the worst part! Stay tuned! I will have a video soon!
Life of a Dreamer can’t wait!
You might be exfoliating too harshly because it sounds like you have sensitive skin
@@Loa.Dreamer yes please help us out
The most people have it on their arms and legs, but I have it everywhere except my face and legs. I’ve tried EVERY lotion,crème,oil 😭 I’m so tired of it. Definitely wil try the toner!!!
I hope it works for you as well! It definitely has smoothed the texture for me!
Hey boo! Careful not to use it every day. And try turmeric soap and real black soap to lighten the spots whilst using the acid. Consistently too, not everyone will get overnight results. Love!
What happened if you use it everyday
OMG! THE LIPSTICK! THE MAKEUP! THE HAIR! ALL OF IT AMAZING! Please what color and brand is that lipstick towards the end of the video :")
Thank you so much!! 🥺💜 That is the Wet n Wild Megaslick Balm Stain in the color Rico Mauve + clear gloss 💜
I use 2% salicylic acid pads in the morning and then glycolic acid at night for mine. It took it down by about 40% in 2 weeks.
Oooooohhhh I need to try that! Thank you!
Eucerin used to make a lotion that worked well; not sure why they discontinued and reformulated it. The new version is not good. The Ordinary (online) designed a custom regimen for my face that included 10% Mandelic Acid (MA) + HA to help with dark spots. I decided it was to oily for my face and repurposed it for my KP-affected legs, since it triggers exfoliation. Now, I add The Ordinary 10% MA to Gold Bond Radiance Renewal body lotion and it has worked wonders. I tried this first with the Gold Bond Rough and Bumpy Skin Cream, but that stuff smells sour, so I switched. The dark spots are not yet all completely gone, but my legs are so much smoother. I exfoliate too, but not harshly.
thank you for this! you’re so pretty btw 💗
Thank you so much! 💜
I'm watching this video 3 years later and knowing how the Ordinary prices increased makes me so sad lol
Would love to see an updated video if you’ve been able to lighten the dark spots! Thanks for a 30 day review which is so great! :)
Thank you so much for watching! I haven’t found anything yet, but I will definitely update y’all when I have found something! 💜
@@Loa.Dreamerhello hows your chicken skin now? Is it gone?
Hey girl great video. I think you have AHAs and BHAs mixed up. BHAs penetrate deeper into the skin because they’re oil soluable while AHAs stay on the surface bc they’re water soluable. You should focus on salicylic acids since kp traps oil and dirt under the skin causing the raised bumps. Also glycolic acid may actually worsen hyperpigmentation, especially darker skinned women. You may want to switch to a gentler aha like mandelic acid because the molecule are bigger and therefore gentler on the skin. And one more thing, it isn’t the best to combine physical and chemical exfoliation, especially on the same day, as again you may worsen the hyperpigmentation due to excess irritation. It’s best to limit physical exfoliation 2-3 times a week if you feel like it’s a must, but personally I would just not do it at all.
Yes, I definitely mixed up my acids! I will have to clarify in a more in depth video. But also, it depends on the skin. Salicylic acid irritated my skin, as well as chemical + mechanical exfoliation together (depending on the methods used). Which is why the gloves and glycolic work for me. I have sensitive skin, so I have to do a lot of experimenting to find out what works 😂 luckily nothing has darkened my dark spots, but I haven’t found any good techniques to lighten them either. I’m working on that, because a lot of people have to same problem. But I also want a solution that everyone can afford. I know there are very expensive treatments & products out there that can help, but not everyone has money to keep spending, so I hope to find something affordable to fix the texture and hyperpigmentation of KP, maybe even a cure. Hopefully I will find a solution soon!
girl, you sold me. bless you
💜💜💜
Hey girl! I have the same issue but check out first aid beauty’s KP bump eraser scrub and the gold bond rough and bumpy body cream. Both make my skin so soft and help with textured skin. I also use the glycolic acid toning solution
Thank you girl! I will! I have heard of both of those products. I definitely have to try them!
How long do you leave the toning solution? 😂
Omg I also developed KP on my arm same as you. I didn't know what was going on I've always had super smooth skin and then BAM!! KP I'm so glad someone knows how to treat this condition.
Best video I’ve seen! Thank you! So well done!
Wow, thank you!💜
Already have this product. I started getting KP on the back of my arms when I moved to America from the Caribbean.
Did this work for your KP? I'm thinking of getting it.
Is this work?
Love your makeup at the end. Thanks for the info I will be trying the glycolic acid on my legs 🤗
Thank you so much! There are a lot of good suggestions in the comments as well! 😊
How was it?
Thank you so much… I found that baths help more than showers… I soak for a bit and then use sand, believe it or not, to exfoliate and it works quite well. I just take a scoop of sand and rub it gently on the area, not using soap nor cleanser.
Coincidentally also I used The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner to improve the stuck-on dead skin on my elbows because the physical exfoliation didn't completely resolve it. The glycolic acid helped a lot, as it also helped my face where I had leathery dead skin on my cheeks, but unfortunately it didn't unclog my pores. I learned that BHAs go deeper than AHAs so I started using my Peter Thomas Roth face wash wich has glycolic/AHA AND salicylic acid/BHA in it (I applied it on at night and slept in it like a mask) I saw an immediate/overnight difference in my pores with less oil. I wonder if a BHA like salicylic acid will help clear out the pores on my legs. I have strawberry legs and plan to try BHA (either Peter Thomas Roth face wash or The Ordinary's salicylic masque I just ordered) to see if it helps.
Have you tried ever BHAs for the remaining spots/dead skin and oil trapped in the pores?
I am Trying so many things to clear these dark spots! Nothing is working yet, as far as AHAs or BHAs. That Peter Thomas Roth face wash sounds amazing! I will have to try it! Possibly an overnight mask would help! Thanks for the help!
@@Loa.Dreamer I find that Nair hair remover helps. It exfoliates. It doesn't remove it completely, but I see an immediate difference in the black dots/visible hair follicles. A friend of mine started waxing her legs and over time it completely removed it. I mean COMPLETELY! Perfectly poreless looking. Regular waxing at a salon is not in my budget. She does a DIY wax... but I'm not willing to put in the work not okay with the pain. I look forward to my salicylic masque arriving! I'm going to see if the Peter Thomas Roth wash as a masque makes a difference in my strawberry legs. You've inspired me!
@@Loa.Dreamer I can report that Oil of Olay Retinol body wash really works on strawberry legs and dead skin. I'm totally amazed!
@@veralisahunter5013 does she do diy sugar waxing ? I want to try waxing at home
Thanks youuu definitely helped me a lot and I just wanted to say your lips are really beautiful 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
This was very informative! You deserve so much more views and recognition 💕
Thank you so much! That is so kind 💜
I was told by my skin doctor that laser hair removal would help with KP as this would remove hair from that area, and no more plugged pores/follicles underneath the skin. But i havent tried it yet because the procedure is expensive 😭 maybe it'll be best to save up for kenzzi.
That is true, laser does help for KP. I have not seen any results personally. I am not sure that IPL is as strong as a laser hair removal machine to see KP results, at least for me. Maybe for other people.
You should look on living social or Groupon and lurches a laser hair removal package. I’ll be doing so this week because i ti have strawberry legs. I’ve been exfoliating etc but I honestly want to be hair free as well lol
can I use glycolic acid on bikini area to clear Keratosis Pilaris? how many time a week should I use it and how long after will I see result also what moisturizer is best use on bikini area after using the acid
Glad I came across this video. I’ve had KP on my right arm since I was 12. I’m nearly 30. I thought it was a heat rash that never went away! I’m going to try this. It’s always more visible in pictures for some reason 😒
This product also lightens my underarms .
Nice! I’ll have to try it!
I’m soooo glad I found your channel! I struggle with the same thing in the same area. I can’t wait to try this toner!! 😩🤞🏽I’m also a licensed esthetician .... I’m OBSESSED with skincare!!!💜💜💜 #newsubbie 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Shae' Marie Thank so much for watching and subscribing! I love skin care as well! So dope to have another esthetician here! 😊💜 I’m still trying to find more solutions! Let me know if you have any as well!
Love your look at the end of the video, so gorgeous and glowing 😍
Thank you so much! 😊💜
I just bought the toner and can’t wait to try it within the 30 days! Love this thank you for this vid!
Thank you for watching! I am so glad I can help! I hope it works well! I love this toner!
How about your kp now? Is this go away? bcs I have too😭its so make me feel stressed😭 I wanna try the ordinary too
Did it work?! 💚
needed this. Thank you so much. Just bought one. So excited to try this!
I’m so glad I could help! I’m so excited for you!
Did it help?
Did it help your KP? I just bought this today…
Thank you so much 💕 I’m one of the unlucky people who have this on their face (only on the right side for some reason) and on my butt, I will definitely try this
Just remember that the skin on the face is a little bit different than the rest of your body. So probably don’t exfoliate or scrub too hard. It can make things worse! I hope this helps! Also, so many people have been raving about the CeraVe SA lotion and soap. I haven’t tried it yet, but maybe that can help. I’m hoping to order some, it’s so hard to find in my stores near me!
I second that. Be really careful with your face. I definitely suggest checking out CeraVa.
8 dollars ?! Bout to buy a bottle right now lol. Plz make an update video when you find something that lightens :)
A J I definitely will!
@@Loa.Dreamer update? :)
So how about it now Ma’am? Has it gone finally Cus in day 30th I can see it’s still there on ur arms 😞Cus I want my own gone am about to purchase this product this morning
honestly it kinda just looks like freckles, which are cute
Gonna try ordinary glycolic acid toner on my legs. It should help as well in grown hair as well.
This definitely works!
ure such an experienced aesthetician. thanks for the video!!!
Thank you so much for watching! 💜 I am always learning & finding out new things. I hope I can share the correct information to y’all!
That's soo helpful 🤷♀️🤗I have the toner and I've only had good experiences with it on my face .I have to try it on my legs
It has worked wonders for my KP, as well as my face! ☺️ it’s a great toner!
hii girl what has the toner changed on your face? X
@@aa21gg38 For me it helped with oilyness and pimples on my face
@@wellnesssarah okay do you think it helps for dry skin
@@aa21gg38 I think the Ordinary's Lactic Acid +HA would be better for dry skin
Oh yeah and I forgot u have to use a spin brush for showering I promise if u do that everyday it will help a LOT. And do REGULAR CHEMICAL PEELS. A week before chemical peel tho DON'T EXFOLIATE USE A CLOT SPONGE FOR SHOWER MOISTURE MOISTURE PREP SKIN THEN!!!! DO CHEMICAL PEEL. IF U EXFOLIATE AND DO CHEMICAL PEEL U WILL GET MESSED UP
yeah remember that it take a while for your skin to turn over so in the long run y’all will definitely see your skin lighten all so get moisturizing lotion that will treat kp
Thanks for the advice - sorry I thought BHA penetrates deeper than AHA? PHA is the gentlest and then AHA targets the top level of the skin and then BHA is deeper? Please clarify xx
Yes! I misspoke on that one! BHAs do penetrate deeper. I will be making a video about the acids to help clarify a lot of things since I didn’t really talk much about them!
Quick question have you ever gotten to the point where it actually goes away
Love this. Do you think this would be a good "pre tan treatment" before putting self tan on ? I get those little pore dots on my legs when I do and I wonder if this would help prevent this ?
Is that doing physical exfoliation and using glycolic acid as exfoliation again can be done at the same time ?
My Kp gets much worse before de period. I've been dealing with it since 12.
Hmm..it may be irritated by hormones. I haven’t heard of that reaction before.
Same problem
Hi LD do you do that every night the scrubbing and the ordinary toner application? Or do you skip a day?
Lactic acid is the best thing for kp...try a lactic acid lotion 20%.
I’ll try that next. Thanks!
Why not use the Ordinary skin lighteners? They have a lot of products that compliment that toner. It’s just a toner, your only going to get so much results using one product.
I have tried many lightening products from them and other brands. Nothing has worked for me so far. I’ll keep y’all posted when I find what works for me. Some people have left what works for them below for others to try. Hope it works!
I love your voice. And thanks so much for this video. I have it on my legs. 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you so much 🥺 And thank you for watching! 💜
i don’t have the bumps and my skin is really smooth i just have the dark spots how do i lighten them 😭😭
Great video! Thank you for being transparent
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching! 😊
I also have KP and never knew what it was until recently, I will have to try The Ordinary products. By the way, where did you the silk headband?
I’m pretty sure it’s from my local beauty supply store. They always have different colors 💜
I’m currently using pixi’s glycolic acid and CeraVe’s rough skin lotion along with a body scrub. I’ve stopped shaving completely to let my skin heal. I only have it around my ankles which makes it look like I’m wearing anklets 😭 I thought tweezing would make it better but it made it so much worse.
I have a lotion called ammonium lactate lotion (12%, really thick) given to me by a derm. I don’t know what this is but is it okay if I also use this glycolic acid with it?? Or am I only supposed to use one?
I would ask your dermatologist before mixing the two products. They tend to know the science of the chemicals more than an esthetician. Be care!
How often should I put glycolic acid on my legs? Since I heard that I shouldn’t do exfoliation everyday on my face, I’m not sure if it’s the same for my legs
The skin on the body is usually stronger than facial skin, but to be safe only do it every other day or only a few times a week, just to be safe. Feel out what your skin is telling you it can handle.
I only have these on my legs and I got in after puberty it was so random. I’ve only shaved my legs once in my life because I barely grow hair. When I exfoliate the bumpy ness goes away but it’s still dark
Life of a Dreamer try Alpha Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid along with Niacinamide
Lechelle Durante-Quetel I’ll see if I can find it! Is there a brand you recommend?
Soooo,I’ve been searching on RUclips for KP videos as long as I can remember and while some of it has gone down, it’s never disappeared. Hearing u say there is no cure and no known cause ....is both a huge disappointment and relief at the same time.
I had this condition since a kid, my dad has it too. In the shower I use pumice stone with an Dove exfoliate and I make sure my water is hot because it helps to soften the skin and use Vaseline to moisturize.
I have been doing this but with lactic acid! It’s been working really well for me :).
I really need HELP!! I’m a guy and I’m not sure if this is what I’ve got, but I’ve got hundreds of these tiny bumps on both sides of my nose and a little bit under my eyes I can’t really feel them when I touch them and they won’t go away no matter what I do can you please help me.
Huzaifa Atif From what you’re describing, those may actually be milia. Those can be removed by a dermatologist. They have to be cut open & the dermatologist will squeeze them out. Try to speak to a dermatologist for a diagnosis.
Hi
I m using CeraVe SA cream and it smoothened my skin but again it didn't lighten black spots. Please update us once u find out solution to lighting those spots.
Thank u 😊
I’ve heard good things about CeraVe. I have to try it! I’m working on a video now about lightening the dark spots! Stay tuned! I got you!
@@Loa.Dreamer OMG u found solution 😍😍😍😍
Eagerly waiting for your video ☺️☺️
I get redish brown dots all over my legs after waxing.....so it's like strawberry legs all over. So will a glycolic toner really help to get rid of it???
In my experience, it only got rid of the texture. It has helped some people with their dots. I guess it just depends on the skin.
The bumps are easier to get rid off but i cant seem to lighten the colour discolouration
Hello, have a good day. How to get rid off keratosis pilaris? What are the products that i need to use ? Thank u and Godbless
Hey! Thankyou for this video. I'll surely be giving a try to the ordinary glycolic toner. Also, I had read somewhere that BHAs penetrate deep into the skip surface than AHAs. Can you please clear this?
Yes, BHAs have smaller molecules and can penetrate deeper in the skin to help even a exfoliate. Most people use them for acne or exfoliation issues. AHAs are more for surface problems on the skin. Most people use them for things like dark spots or evening texture. It just depends on your skin and preference.
@@Loa.Dreamer Thank you for clarifying this because you said it in reverse in the video so I was very confused. This video was so helpful though and I can't wait to try your tips! Thank you!
@@rachelacevedo1447 Yes! I mixed it up in this video. So sorry! But here’s my video all about acids, hopefully it’ll clear things up as well! 😊
Everything You Need to Know About Acids! ruclips.net/video/pNcyp-05bbs/видео.html
I think time will fade the marks
...as long as there are no new break out...great video
It doesn’t do anything or get rid of them maybe fade the colour but u can still see them
Sorry to be a pain but BHA is the one that penetrates deeper into the pore and AHA gets rid of the dead skin on the surface.
Yes, I pinned that comment under the video to correct myself.
I’ve used their products for the face and it does seem to work on my hyperpigmentation there but would like to know if it works for legs and butt area
I'll have to give it a try, I haven't even thought of that!
Any tips for KP on the forehead? Dermatologist have misdiagnosed me for over 10 years. I’m not sure if I should do physical or chemical exfoliation and what products to use.
I have not experienced KP on the forehead before. The skin on the face is different than the skin on the body. I would say whichever method of exfoliation you choose, it should be gentle to start off with. A scrub with very tiny grains, like sugar, would probably be best to start off with. Also, don’t forget a good moisturizer to help soften that skin.
Use amlactin 12% its safe to use on the face as well and helps exfoliates real good
Hey it was a lovely video... Does it removes tanning too can i use this?
Thank you so much! I am not sure if this will remove tanning.
I've heard BHA's are better for darker skin than AHA's, is that true?
