Keratosis Pilaris Treatment Blog

Hi all, I just wanted to post a little bit about treating keratosis pilaris with Cetaphil. I’ve received some e-mails about it so I wanted to clarify some points about Cetaphil.

Yes, Cetaphil is a great cleanser to treat Keratosis Pilaris because it’s: hypoallergenic and unscented. I’ve noticed that when I use soaps with heavy perfume and scents, I tend to break out in a rash, which increases my KP. When you use Cetaphil, you should use a loofah and exfoliate with it just like any other body scrub. Cetaphil does not have any active ingredients that will reduce the keratin in your skin, but it’s a great soap replacement on the “off” days when you’re not using body scrubs like KP Heavy Duty. By the way, the other positive thing about Cetaphil is that it can be found in your local grocery/drug store (it’s about $8),

On a side note, I stopped using the body scrubs for about a month and low and behold, my KP started coming back! The dots on my legs were becoming a darker red again…this proves a lot about exfoliating. Exfoliating WORKS! I believe some products are better than others, but whatever you do, exfoliate. This is the key for treating keratosis pilaris.

Also, make sure to keep that skin moisturized and get some sun

That’s all for now!
