here's several things for curing kp Make sure you eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have enough vitamin C make use of herbs which cleanse the body such as dandelion Use herbs with infection fighting properties eg dandelion root and burdock and others including huang qi (I discovered these and the reasons they work on Keelee remedy system site )

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! :-)

This is an absolutely fantastic video! I've had keratosis pilaris for as long as I can remember and finally I have the right information to treat it.

I'm a big fan of Paula's Choice as my skin changed after pregnancy. They're changing the name of the Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA into 2% Body Smoothing Spot Exfoliant if anyone is struggling to find it.

Ms .ReneS I tried like that for 2 days and then realised this is after shower treatment as It says apply to clean skin. So I guess that’s mean after shower. And no need to wash it off. It’s a creamy texture but turns to water when applying.

something that has been amazing for my KP is CeraVe Hydrating Body Wash, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and Cerave Sa Renewing Lotion

What an absolutely brilliant video!! This is such an informative video esp for women of colour ♥️♥️ thank you! For me personally I have really benefited from the Bioderma Atoderm line including the bath oil wash and the moisturizer! I've also started to try the ameliorate body exfoliator and moisturizer that are especially formulated for KP Xx

Hi Dr. V! Thanking you for these wonderful and informative videos! Do you have any advice for skin of color and tinea versicolor? Apart from topical anti-fungal creams and prescribed medicine, is there anything that we should bear in mind with regards to skincare as it relates to persons living in hotter climates?

Our beautiful and respectful doctor thank you for your nice information. Bless you my dear.

Love this video, so informative, does shaving make KP worse on your calves and thighs? In addition, would love a video about your recommendations for psoriasis. Thank you

Oh WOW i'm so happy to find your channel. Do you have any video or advise on how to treat hyperpigmentation in the body? I will really appreciate your help.

Hi, thank you so much for the advice, it is much appreciated! Would you be able to recommend any cruelty free alternatives?

Bonjour docteur merci beaucoup pour tout vos conseils 👍👍

As always, thank you so much for doing these videos. This is a godsend for people of color. I would really appreciate if you would do a video on the proper way of layering products (especially acids, serums, etc.) and what not to layer together. Also, as a person of color (specifically a black male), I would also appreciate if you would do a video for men who suffer with ingrown hairs, razor bumps and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from shaving. Thanks!

Hello! Thanks so much for your amazing content and advice for skin of colour. Isn’t there also a type of eczema that looks the same as this, papillary something..? Could you advise if they are different?

I use Ameliorate lotion! Even though I can't stand the smell, it really works! I've found that letting the lotion absorb into my skin, then topping that with baby oil helps with the acidic smell.

Thank you for another great video Dr Rattan! Can you please do a video on how to treat/reduce KP in toddlers and kids?

Great recommendations for this condition Dr.Rattan!!! Most of us don't even realize we have this until we hear from an expert. I have been using Krave beauty Great Barrier relief serum for this on the back side of my Upper arms and this product has helped reduce the bumpiness. Certainly, like you said, it has not disappeared but I have noticed a difference!!! Also would you recommend a alternate for Oilatum which is available in US market... Also what is your take on all the snail mucin products that are out there. A very upcoming trend in Korean skincare products!!! Would love to know your thoughts!!!

Thanks for great information! What would you use for cheeks?

Thank you so much for this Doc. Very informative.

Thank you so much Dr for making this video. I have suffered from KP my whole life ( I’m 45 now ), not knowing how to treat it. So thank you so so much!!🙏🏾❤️

Thank you for this video! Does this also apply if you have keratosis pilaris on the face?

Hey Dr V...loving your videos....could you do a video on how to treat dark elbows and knees especially for skin of colour 🙏

Thank you for this, it's so helpful. I use Aco's canoderm 5% creme, and it seems to help so fare.

Thanks for this video. Using the products you suggested regularly, how long do you believe it would take for there to be a difference in the appearance of KP?

I actually used a diluted form of apple cider vinegar that helped quite a bit on the KP on my upper arms!! I applied it with a cottom ball and left it for a few minutes and then put cerave moisturizer on top to keep my skin from drying :)

Hi Dr V, Your videos are really good and knowledgeable, quick question can Aveeno Body wash be used instead of Oilatum?

Thanks doctor amazing video😍 Can you recommend affordable eye creams with retinol in it. Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for the your videos, I have learnt so much, but struggling to buy some of the products you have recommended in previous videos due lockdown and everywhere is out of stock. Can these products be used for KP and backne? Thank you.

Thank you for making a video on kp. Will get humidifier & the product recs👍🏼. Now two follow up questions. How to fade the mild marks on the upper arm when KP recedes a bit? Also what hair removal method to use for the hair on thighs when suffering with kp? Thanks doc for educating us 🙏🏽

I really appreciate your videos! Clear and to the point with all the information needed.

I’ve found great relief with using azelaic acid 20% and Tretinoin for the KP on my face (cheeks) - starting seeing a noticeable change in my skin and skin texture after about a year

I’ve used CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser and SA smoothing cream. It’s really worked. They both contain salicylic acid and the smoothing cream has 3 ceramides and 10% urea . Don’t like the idea of using paraffin as I get bacne. CeraVe is non comedogenic What do think of this product?

Thank you so much for doing this video on Keratosis Polaris. I actually did put a comment up I think yday about my skin concerns and I think you have given the correct name for it, I’m in my mid-30’s never had to deal with any skin concerns in my teenage or in my 20’s it’s all happening now. 😂 it looks like blackheads / or tiny hair coming through and the skin around it is green, I’m so worried because I don’t want to use the wrong thing and make it worse.

Hi Dr V, I’m using CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser and SA smoothing cream for KP. So far the result is good. What do think of this product and is it suitable for skin of colour? I used with with l'occitance almond shower oils? will you recommend that?

Hi Dr V and everyone. Thank you for this video. Could you please do a video on how to get rid of the dark marks caused by KP. Thank you for all your help.

How do you deal with the hyperpigmentation for KP. Cerave has made my arms smooth, but the dark bumps still remain.

So helpful. Can you discuss treatments for young children with keratosis pilaris please

Dr. Rattan, is a god send for women of colour. I didn’t know I had this. It’s on my elbows, thighs, buttocks and spreading, it’s horrible. Mine has got worse and I’m now in my 50’s. Going to try this and see if it helps. Thank you.

The thing that has helped me improve the appearance of my kp is the neutrogena body clear salicylic body wash. It has 2% salicylic acid in it. That followed up by the FAB moisturiser

Thank you Dr Rattan for this video...though I feel I'm even more confused than before. I've had KP since I was a little girl and it has never subsided completely. Now I also have fibromyalgia so am extra sensitive. I have to use a hair mitt to get rid of hair and the dry skin. I use a homemade scrub with coconut oil, lemon, honey and sugar in the shower. The only body cream that has ever been suitable is jergens ultra healing to which I sometimes add drops of vitamin e oil.

Hey guys just wanted to say that Olive oil as a moisturiser straight after the shower has worked well for me. I believe natural products will always be better. I also stopped taking boiling hot showers which would dry my skin badly. Luke warm showers are better, and cold showers are the best (but i cant handle those loool)

Avoid olive oil if you’re going outside without skin covered

I've had KP since I can remember. Only over the last month have I gotten serious about trying to improve my skin because I have it on my legs , arms, and it also appears to be signs of it on my stomach. Non of it itches for me. It's just an eye sore. I've been working on it for about a month and omg 😱 my skin feels sooooo much better. I'm even a little excited for my man to touch my legs now ...before I really didn't want him to. Some of what I do goes against Dr. Vs recommendations BUT This is what I personally am doing and will adjust if necessary. - I use cerave salicylic acid bar soap ( it does have physical exfoliants) if you decide to put the bar directly on the skin . I wash with this about twice a week . ( There's a liquid version of the S.A. soap as well but I haven't tried that one). The other days I used cerave moisturizing bar soap as to not dry out my skin. - I mosturize EVERYDAY with CeraVe moisturizer that's in the tub ...applying to damp skin. I often seal that in with a little jojoba oil ... Plus I also like a little shine on my dark skin. -Most recently I've decided to add Amlactin cream moisturizer in the tub to my routine. (The one with 15% lactic acid) . Which is a leave on moisturizing exfoliant. I've been using that 2-3 times a week. Heads up this stuff can kinda stink ...but the reviews justified me trying it ...so the verdict is still out on this one. But so far it hasn't irritated my skin. Lastly I have STOPPED shaving my legs and have gone completely to cream hair removers because I've found that shaving only irritated and knicked my KP making it waaaaay worse. So far these things have made an incredible difference! My skin feels soooo smooth . Still needs work but I swear it's like night and day . You can still see the little dots and what not but you definitely can not really feel them much any more. Good luck with your skin journey beautiful people 💖 And thanks Dr. V for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.

Neostrata glycolic renewal smoothing lotion actually works the best for my keratosis pilaris. I find I can use glycolic acid products that have a gradual release delivery system. Salicylic acid does seem to work as well for my skin, especially on my face it ends up feeling more uneven in texture, I'm not sure why this is.
