The 7 Best Expert-Approved Products for Keratosis Pilaris on Amazon's Prime Day Deals
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Perfectly harmless but infinitely annoying, keratosis pilaris, or KP, plagues many of our limbs and stomachs, dotting them with raised red spots that seem to never go away. The condition has been affectionately (or not so affectionately) nicknamed 'strawberry skin' and 'chicken skin' because it resembles the bumpy surface of a strawberry or plucked fowl. Many folks out there accept their fate and live with it, but there's hope yet for those of us who wish to take up the fight against KP. An army of products exist on Amazon that can help eliminate—or at least reduce—keratosis pilaris. If your strawberry skin has made you feel alone, it turns out that over 50 percent of the population share the same woe, says Dallas-based dermatologist Elizabeth Houshmand. 'It's a frustrating condition where keratin protein builds up around hair follicles and results in bumpy and rough patches of skin,' she explains. 'The reason for the buildup of keratin is unknown, but often occurs alongside other skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema,' she adds. But two major steps can eradicate KP: 'Gentle exfoliation can be helpful, along with moisturizing the skin,' Houshmand says. The key word here is gentle. If you use an exfoliator that's too harsh or scrub at your skin too often, you can wreak havoc on your moisture barrier and worsen things. We tried a few KP-eliminating products ourselves, consulted a dermatologist, and scrolled through thousands of Amazon reviews to locate the nine best products for KP, including body scrubs, body exfoliators, and body creams. Keep reading, and you'll be that much closer to smoother, calmer, and more hydrated skin. Skincare TikTok is obsessed with this exfoliator for a reason. With glycolic and lactic acid, the scrub acts as both a physical and chemical exfoliator to make KP a thing of the past. Key ingredients: Glycolic acid, lactic acid, pumice buffing beads Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'Honestly, I use this scrub all over my body, whether there's KP there or not. The product is genuinely one of the best body exfoliators I've ever used. I often get compliments on how soft my skin is, and my arms and legs are especially smooth to the touch when I'm consistent with the KP Bump Eraser. ' —Carol Lee, associate beauty e-commerce writer Lactic acid is on the gentler side in terms of chemical exfoliators, but it works hard in this formula to loosen dead skin cells and get rid of those pesky bumps associated with strawberry skin. The cream is so rich that you can use it as your moisturizer, or you can follow up with a body cream or lotion if you need more hydration. Just make sure to apply it to dry skin because if your skin is still a little wet or damp, the formula can be difficult to spread. Key ingredient: Lactic acid Amazon rating: 4.2/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'The tube may be small, but I only needed a little to see results. Because my KP only exists on my upper arms, I applied a pea-sized amount to each arm after every shower and before applying my regular body moisturizer. Within just a few days, my arms felt smoother, and I saw that some of the more irritated spots had calmed down. I personally love how thick it is—even though the formula is exfoliating my skin, I don't feel like I'm stripping it of moisture.' —Carol Lee Who said you can't exfoliate and hydrate at the same time? This super-thick shea body butter does it all; 10 percent AHA wipes away any signs of KP, while squalane and shea butter keep the skin supple and glowing. Key ingredients: AHA, squalane, shea butter An Amazon reviewer says: 'Bought KP butter. It's super high quality. Thick, moisturizing, great for dry skin. My son has eczema on his hands and it cleared it up fast. I want several tubes around the house and in my purse for easy access. The smell on the KP butter one is different, but not at all unpleasant.' This lightweight lotion contains salicylic acid to unclog pores. Gentle enough for most skin types, it also contains soothing ingredients like chamomile and green tea to reduce redness and discomfort. Key ingredients: Salicylic acid, vitamin E, chamomile An Amazon reviewer says: 'I just tried this cream for the first time, and my arms are almost completely smooth after one use! My keratosis pilaris has been getting worse lately, but my usual exfoliation treatment wasn't helping as much as it used to. My arms are smooth for the first time in years and now I can stop wasting money on treatments that don't work. Very happy customer!!' Known for working wonders on ingrown hairs, this water-like liquid helps clogged follicles clear up in no time. A thin layer post-shower or hair removal is all you need. Key ingredients: Acetylsalicylic acid, glycerin Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'I have a sensitive skin and thick hair, and keratosis pilaris on top of that. My thighs and underarms used to look like a battlefield after shaving (I have to shave, since I'm trying at home IPL), that is, until I discovered this product. I've tried glycolic acid, medicinal ointments, fur oil, you name it. Nothing. Then I started using this product and it didn't seem to make a difference, but since I've decided to give 2 weeks to every product before discarding it, I've waited and I AM SO GLAD I DID. I use it 3x, instead of 2, on a clean dry skin. I has improved my condition so much! It does dry the skin, but people, there has to me something. Just moisturize heavily and you will be fine.' Exfoliation is key to keeping KP at bay, but don't skip moisturizer. After showering, use this rich cream that's packed with soothing urea to protect and gently reduce any clogged skin. Key ingredient: Urea An Amazon reviewer says: 'I have tried hundreds of body lotions and none ever compared to this one. I am 58-years-old and have used body lotions (upon my mother's advice) since I was 15 years old. When I was young, most lotions did fine. As I aged, fewer and fewer were helpful. After age 50, I started trying expensive luxury creams and dermatologist endorsed brands, but none were working more than 6 hours a day—even with the regular exfoliating I do. I have no idea why I decided to try Eucerin (with 10% urea); I am so glad I did. It makes my skin feel moisturized and bouncy over 24 hours. Scaly and crepey skin is gone. I don't know how many years this will help my aging skin, but I have never found any other lotion or cream that comes close.' This in-shower treatment has super-fine pieces of sodium palmate and magnesium oxide to gently treat ingrown hairs, keratosis pilaris, scarring, and acne. Plus, it smells like citrus to provide a pleasant sensorial experience. Key ingredients: Sodium palmate, magniusm oxide exfoliants An Amazon reviewer says: 'Body acne and scars and stuff has made it all disappear and is smoothing out my skin. brightening it up and healing it, too. Wish I had this my whole life! Buy it!' As a leading publisher of fashion, lifestyle, and beauty content, is committed to highlighting the best products in various categories by personally testing the latest and most innovative products, interviewing countless experts, and vetting customer-loved items.

8 Of The Best Keratosis Pilaris Treatments To Try In 2025
Skin feeling rough, textured or bumpy? Here's how to manage keratosis pilaris this winter. Of all skin conditions, keratosis pilaris has the most inventive nicknames. It's often referred to as KP, chicken skin, or strawberry skin, all apt descriptors of the collective of raised, red or bumpy texture that spread across arms, thighs, cheeks and more. Flares are common in the cooler months, meaning now's the perfect time to implement a consistent, body care routine to help manage it. Don't fall for the marketing trickery – while many treatments are touted to be able to banish bumps for good, unfortunately there's no cure. But you can reduce its appearance by adding a suite of innovative products and treatments to your arsenal. Below, we dive into the eight best treatments to manage keratosis pilaris during the cooler months. What is keratosis pilaris? Put simply, keratosis pilaris occurs when a hair follicle is blocked by a buildup of protein called keratin - or the same protein responsible for the health of hair, skin and nails. This build-up, or plug, leads to small, hard bumps on skin, typically surrounded by redness, on upper arms, legs or buttocks. At the same time, these plugs can stimulate an inflammation response in the skin, which is attributed to its redness. It's often hereditary, but is most common for those with sensitive skin, or in conjunction with conditions like eczema or atopic dermatitis. How to treat it As we move steadily towards winter, take note: cool or dry climates can cause KP to worsen or become more noticeable. This is largely due to the slowing down of skin cell turnover (shedding) when the skin is drier. To ensure skin doesn't dry out too much throughout the cooler months, avoid hot showers for prolonged periods, as this can serve to exacerbate dryness even further. Consider investing in a humidifier, which helps to retain moisture in the air and minimise dryness. Topical treatments to try A consistent body care routine which prioritises gentle exfoliation and hydration is your best bet when it comes to managing KP. Look out for key exfoliating ingredients like alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy acids – including glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids - which help to gently loosen the glue that holds dead skin cells together, meaning they're easier to slough away. Urea is a more recent buzzy skincare ingredient worth noting. It's categorised as a keratolytic, which works in a similar way to AHAs and BHAs by impacting the bonds between skin cells, causing the softening and shedding of dead skin cells. As far as moisturisers go, consider products laden with ceramides to help support a healthy, hydrated skin barrier, alongside hyaluronic acid, glycerin and other humectant ingredients to draw moisture to the skin and keep it there. Exfoliators First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser with 10% AHA, $43, includes both chemical and physical exfoliants to decongest the top layer of skin, gently buffing away rough areas to reveal smooth, touchable skin underneath. Weleda Birch Pearl Body Scrub, $22, exfoliates and detoxifies skin in one fell swoop thanks to the addition of natural beeswax pearls to slough away dead skin cells. Paula's Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA, $54, helps remove the build-up of dead skin cells, and is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of bumpy, rough skin on both arms and legs. CeraVe Smoothing Cleanser, $20, is a gentle yet effective way to address rough or bumpy skin. Brimming with salicylic acid, this exfoliating cleanser removes dirt, oil and dead skin cells without stripping the skin's natural barrier. Moisturisers Necessaire The Body Serum, $84, is formulated with five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, alongside ceramides and niacinamide for deep, long-lasting hydration that works to plump and smooth skin. Mixa Urea Cica Repair 10% Jar, $20, serves double duty to remove dead skin cells while deeply hydrating skin. The formulation sees urea combine with niacinamide to nourish and repair dry, rough or sensitive skin (without that dreaded greasy feeling). La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP+M Body Moisturiser Balm Tube, $29. Dry, dehydrated skin has met its match with La Roche-Posay's soothing skin balm, which couples a prebiotic blend with shea butter and niacinamide to rebalance the skin microbiome while leaving skin deeply hydrated and comfortable.

This Is My Favorite Product For Bumpy Skin
If there's one skin-related problem I've lamented the most throughout my life, it's my chronic keratosis pilaris (better known as KP). KP is a common condition caused by an over-production of keratin, resulting in rough, dry skin covered in bumps that are often red or pigmented, depending on skin tone. For the past few years, I've exalted the well-known KP Bump Eraser body scrub by First Aid Beauty as one of the main and most effective products in my KP arsenal. Very recently, however, I had the opportunity to try a different body scrub that's a little more affordable and has a slightly different formula to help keep my KP at bay. The Dermadoctor KP Duty scrub, a humble gem hidden at Amazon, fights KP with the help of both physical and chemical exfoliation. Another major difference between the KP Duty Scrub and the First Aid Beauty Bump Eraser is texture. I also discovered a trick to getting the most exfoliating action out of Dermadoctor's scrub. In the past, I've always just applied scrubs to wet skin in the shower, but I find Dermadoctor's KP Scrub best to use on barely damp skin, applied only with my hands rather than an exfoliating mitt or washcloth. Otherwise, the product dissolves a bit too quickly for me to really massage it over my entire body. Similar to some Amazon reviewers who have found KP salvation in this scrub, I think this is an especially great option for tackling cracked and callused heels, eliminating shaving bumps and preventing ingrown hairs. Check out more convincing reviews below or head to Dermdoctor's official Amazon page to grab a scrub for yourself (or the brand's moisturizing body lotion which I also tried and do highly recommend). Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in a two-pack, body peel pads, a body scrub version, and in bundles).
