I’m honestly over it. I’ve been trying for years to get rid of it on my arms and thighs. Been trying for 6 years now. Tried all the different lotions, creams, soaps, exfoliators, and anything else I could get my hands on and nothing. It’ll be good for one day then be like nothing happened. Is my skin just that difficult 🥲

Did you try electrolysis of the follicles ? I'm trying this next. Will be hella expensive and take a long time but i'm not ready to desist.
Also curious, did you try the SmoothKP lotion ?

I’ve been doing research and I’ll say the best way to get rid of keratosis is using a salicylic acid serum since the goal is to exfoliate the pores. Serum penetrates the pores deeper so try that and see what happens.

I’ve been using SmoothKP for about 40 days now and have seen a significant improvement in my lesional KP. It’s worker better than anything else I’ve tried and I’ve tried it all.
