    Hi guys.

    I have keratosis pilaris (loads of little red bumps on my arms and legs) and I was told that moisturiser with fruit acids can help improve its appearance. I had a look in Boots yesterday but couldn't find any moisturisers that had fruit acids. I didn't look very hard though. D

    Can anyone recommend one before I go into town again today?

    Thanks!

    Hola!

    Actually have this too; I find it flares up and goes away as it pleases though, and is generally better in the summer. However, I've tried many moisturisers to no avail...except for one I started 3 days ago.

    Now, I don't know whether it's just the moisturiser or whether it's just behaving itself at the moment, but it certainly seems a lot more under control. It's Simple Derma Intensive Relief (says for very dry, sensitive skin prone eczema and dermatitis on the front). It was cheap enough (£3.19 in Superdrug here in the UK) so at the worst it'll just leave your skin super-moisturised but it seems to be working for me... I read once that things used to treat eczema have the same effect on KP, apparently.

    Good luck! :)

    Hiya I have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms too! Not sure if it has fruit acids, but I use Silcock's Base on it after my usual body moisturiser! Only a fiver for a huge tub in Boots and it's working great so far! Hope that helps!

    hey, i'm not too sure about body moisturisers for keratosis pilaris, but beaut.ie recommends Eucerin Intensive 10% w/w Urea Treatment Lotion and everyone seems to have had great results with it!

    I think most people have this problem. I got married recently, was wearing a cocktail type dress without false tan :eek: so had to work hard to get rid of those pesky bumps.

    Eucerin works, as does Vichy and La Roche Posay. My one 'issue' with Eucerin is its quite expensive because the bottle is smaller than similar Vichy or LRP products so you use it quicker.

    I've started using Palmers Cocoa Butter and it works too and is cheaper. Any good hydrating moisturiser will definitely help along with body brushing and exfoliating.

    I've found the nivea type moisturisers no good at all for this kind of problem as they aren't hydrating enough.
