Keratosis Pilaris

For many people it improves with age and often eases in summer with more sun and humidity, but it's rarely gone for good. Consistent exfoliation manages the texture rather than curing it permanently.

Physical scrubbing can irritate the follicles further and make redness worse. Chemical exfoliants (salicylic, lactic, glycolic acid, or urea) work with the follicle rather than against it.

Most people notice a texture difference within two to three weeks of consistent use, with fuller improvement over six to eight weeks.
