First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant for Keratosis Pilaris with 10% AHA 2 oz.

The Bumps Are Gone
I have the little bumps on the backs of my arms and legs. I was trying to find something to get rid of them so I was more confident in my sleeveless wedding dress, along with just in general. This stuff worked after just one day. My skin was less red and after using this once sometimes twice I week it’s gone. I continue to use it to exfoliate my skin. My biggest complaint however is the smell. It’s not terrible, but it smells like a cheap red wine. I also loved the little travel bottle it came with!

Wow. Honestly.
I wish I had thought to take before/after photos of the KP I’ve dealt with on my thighs for most of my life. I have tried several other (and, in many cases, more expensive) products that claim to specifically combat KP over the years. Some of them even include many of the same ingredients as FAB’s KP eraser scrub. Many exfoliants or acid acne treatments have similar components as well. I have to tell you, though: I never, not even once, noticed any positive change or results from using other products that claimed the same target.
** Please note that KP is not the same thing as enlarged pores, folliculitis, razor bumps, dry/itchy winter skin, or body acne; eczema, psoriasis, allergies, and infections (fungal types or ingrown hairs can become infected) can overlap, exacerbate, or mimic symptoms and appearance, but KP is it’s own thing, usually genetic, that causes excess keratin to build up around and sometimes block a hair follicle. You may see some improvement or not if you have another condition and are using this to help. If you have a chronic skin condition of any kind, see a dermatologist or other expert to know for certain what you’re dealing with, before attempting to treat your skin. **
My KP was much worse in my youth on my extremely fair skin. I resigned myself early in life to never really showing my legs unless forced. Now that I’ve tried this, I actually stand a chance of wanting to wear a pair of shorts one of these days and not feel nearly as self-conscious. I noticed an immediate difference in the texture of my skin and the reduction of my more troubling KP bumps where the keratin plug/hair follicle was particularly noticeable or pigmented and raised. FIRST USE RESULTS. And I’m not so easily impressed, but I’ve been loving it more and more as time goes by, so it wasn’t simply honeymoon phase.
The exfoliant has what I can only describe as a gritty, almost cement-like texture and appearance straight from the tube, a little stiffer than toothpaste and salt mixed together, less granular than sugar scrubs to me. You don’t need a lot of it even for large problem areas — it has good mileage/coverage — and you don’t really need to scrub to death (in fact, not recommended; this buffs away what needs to go and includes pumice bits so you don’t necessarily need a pumice stone or anything). I use it on the areas in question or affected and nowhere else — I have body washes and other such stuff for the rest of my body… This is made for KP and that’s what I target.
The first time, I used maybe a half-inch amount on each inner thigh, spread it gently with my fingers, and then used my pumice stone in small light circles over the most troublesome areas. Since then, I’ve only been using my konjac sponge, and a little less product overall. I go through the rest of my shower routine making sure to wash it away properly but I don’t use other exfoliants or scrubs on these areas. I have sensitive (redhead) skin and don’t want to make it any more sensitive and prone to sunburn than it already is without the help of a vague chemical peel. Still, twenty minutes after showering, I can feel the areas tingling lightly, and that’s how I know the magic is truly happening at the level it needs to be happening on. It doesn’t burn, itch, or irritate at all, and doesn’t leave any dryness or any build-up in it’s wake. It also doesn’t have any detectable smell. Even though I could still see the more irritated, raised KP bumps, the texture and feel was so remarkably different and reduced, I could hardly believe my fingers. For me, this is huge, because if I can FEEL the bumps, I’m prone to picking at the larger ones until I’ve gone from little keratin bumps to full bloody sores.
Using this scrub about twice a week, for almost 2 months now, I’m amazed at the new texture of my troubled areas. I’ve even noticed an overall reduction in the development of new plugs which I thought would never be the case. Yes, I tried it once on a rough patch at my elbow and it smoothed it out, as any good exfoliant likely would, but I’m not wasting this miraculous stuff on anything but my KP bumps.

$20 for half?
I used this product for the first time last night and did like the products consistency; feels like it would definitely help with bumpy skin after a few uses, and my skin did feel soft after the one use so far, so I will definitely use the rest of it, but I don’t know that I’ll order again. I had just opened it, you can see the seal in the picture, and half the tube was air. I wouldn’t mind paying $20 for a FULL tube, but I can’t bring myself to pay that much for half a tube, and depending on what all you’re using it on, it will go quick. I’m not sure if this was a one off or if this is how they all come though.

Lo compré para mis brazos y con 2 veces que lo he usado (con una semana de diferencia) ya noto una gran mejoría. Lo recomiendo sin duda.

Très bon gommage. Pas d’odeur particulière. Grains assez fins mais fait très bien son effet sur la peau et en douceur. Pas agressif pour les peau sensibles.

Ha microgranuli finisismi, ne basta anche poco e lo si massaggia sulla pelle umida senza avere la sensazione di doloroso sfregamento che danno scrub più spessi; allo stesso tempo il risultato è persino migliore, pelle esfoliata morbida e idratata senza fastidioso senso di unto che danno alcuni scrub con oli, personalmente non mi piacciono, questo invece è eccezionale per me!
