I don't get the bumps as bad anymore but have small red dots on my lower calves,,, not sure if it's the same thing, but they're getting better since I started using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! Also, I'm confused cause I have more combo to oily skin on my face 😅
@Jovana Tasic i don’t think KP and strawberry legs are the same thing. I have strawberry legs. I didn’t notice my legs were any different than anyone else’s until hs. I try not to be self conscious about it. Idk if there’s anything you can do to change it
Thank you for showing pictures of what KP looks like on dark skin as well! And the way you speak so respectfully about the condition too- I know it doesn’t really seem like something so significant, but it’s very much appreciated 🐼❤️
When I was little someone touched my arm and said “ew you have a rash” and I’ve been self conscious ever since. It’s nice to finally get some answers as to why my arms are bumpy and red.
I don't know if youve found a solution for your fungal acne, but I had it as a reaction to a medication and they recommended washing the area with nizoral shampoo. It has ketoconazole in it without needing a prescription. Definitely helped clear it up within a week or so!
I’ve had KP almost my whole life on the back of my arms and it was one of my biggest insecurities because I never saw anyone else with it, so I always wore long sleeves or jackets up until a year ago. Thank you so much for talking about it, Cassandra!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for showing what KP looks like on skin tones that aren’t just light! It’s so hard to know how some skin conditions look on dark skin, so it’s very helpful! 💕
Wow, as someone who has had severe KP for my entire life, I didn’t know it would mean so much to me to have someone explain KP so positively. Thank you for your important message that what we look like is the least important thing about us. I’m trying out a salicylic acid moisturizer (Cerave SA Cream) right now that is doing moderately well, but not much better than my regular moisturizer so I’m thankful for the tips! Anyone else who has KP out there, don’t let it stop you from wearing what you want to wear and feeling that delicious sun on your (sun screened) skin. Having severe KP was a really good way to find out which of my friends and boyfriends were actually deeply mature people. One of my “best friends” in 6th grade told me the only thing she didn’t like about me was my skin. Why would anyone stay friends with someone like that? Now I’m married to the most golden hearted and outrageously attractive man who has the velvety-soft skin I always wanted. I’ll just enjoy his ;). AND try these new products from Cassandra’s awesome vid!
Eva Naturals Vitamin C Serum is what finally did the trick for me. it has Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and some other stuff. That and a lot of lotion
Awww, this is beautiful, I love the positive message! I'm 57 and have battled KP my whole life. I've hated wearing short sleeves and shorts around people because it's always made me feel self-conscious and embarrassed, but I'm working on getting more comfortable in my own KP skin! I think people with beautiful, soft skin perhaps don't appreciate what they have? I've been dry brushing and also using First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser since March and they have helped me so, so much! My arms and butt are nearly perfectly smooth most days and my legs are way better too. The dots still show but these two things have improved my skin texture immensely! And also like you, I now have someone in my life that doesn't care I don't have perfect skin. ☺️
I have KP and OCD so that leads to me picking up my KP all the time when I’m in private. It’s kind of like people that pull out their own hair. So yeah not only do I have bumpy skin I also have wounds everywhere and people look at me and asked me like “what happened” and it’s really embarrassing. I even had somebody come up to me once and grab my arm in like the grocery store and was like “oh my god what happened to you?!” I remember thinking aren’t you scared you’re going to catch something for me like why are you touching me. I always have to tell people don’t worry it’s not catchy it’s not a rash.
Hey I’ve done the exact same thing and regretted it for so long. I NEVER wear short sleeves and it’s been difficult shopping for clothes. I have a little faith that I’ll be able to fade my dark spots with products and I pick a lot less now. Recently I saw a model display her KP and it looked like mine and I just loved how she put it out there. It made me feel less alone.
@@leenanoor9571 when ponchos were popular back in the early 2000s are used to wear those to cover up my arms but then I got tired of wearing things to make other people feel more comfortable around me so now I wear whatever I want. I wish I could train myself the stop picking as much but with my OCD it’s very hard.
I'm in my 40's and still have scars on my arms from my teens where I obsessively picked at my kp.... I've had people tell me my skin looks like someone burned me with cigarettes! It's so embarrassing! I've been using amlactin lotion for a week or so and so far it seems to be helping....🤞
Mannn my whole life I was insecure about my legs and wondered why mine didn’t look like others.. I asked my doctor and she said she didn’t know what it was. I’m so glad the internet is starting to bring light to these things!!
I've had KP my whole life. Luckily, it's never really bothered me in how it looks despite the fact that it covers my arms and is even on my legs a bit. Fortunately, my mom explained it to me this way when I was little: "It's normal. Some people's skin is like that. It might get better with age and sun, but there's no way to make it go away." And with that, I never thought twice about it or even wished that it would go away. It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I even knew people were trying to get rid of it on themselves or felt bad about it. If you have KP, you're beautiful! Your skin is beautiful. Use moisturizer and sunscreen just because you should. Try other things if you want to; but know that it is okay, and it doesn't mean your skin is unhealthy if that treatment doesn't work. :)
I have always had KP in my arms, and would always wear sleeves to cover it up because the onetime I didn’t wear long sleeves someone commented on my arms being red and super bumpy that it made me even more self conscious about it. I have grown to be comfortable with it but this video was really helpful in recommending products but also busting my confidence about having KP. Love your videos!
I've had pretty severe KP on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember until just recently when I discovered skin care, I can tell how much of a difference my arms feels now (not as rough or as many bumps). I'm not a Dermatologist, Esthetician, or specialist of any kind, BUT I just wanted to list some of the products I've been using (that are cheap and easily accessible) that has literally changed my life. 1. First Aid Beauty - KP Bump Eraser w/ 10% AHA (usually do this in the shower) 2. Cerave - SA Cream (Moisturizer) 3. The Ordinary - AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution (I know people normally use this for their face, but it's honestly helped me with the KP on my arms drastically. Only leave on for 10 mins as per the instructions). Hope this helps anyone!
@@lizziebarrie Hi! I personally haven't tried the peeling solution on my face yet only because I feel like I don't need that strong of a treatment on my face. However, a close friend of mine has be using it for a couple months now and she enjoys it. She says it makes her skin a lot more glowy and clear. She has warned me to only do it once a week though (she use to do it twice a week and over-exfoliated her face). Hope that helps!
@@iidentifyasaPSLGoddess they just said its a substance found in skin hair and nails so every human has it? its just that people with keratosis pilaris produce such abundant amounts
@Daily Dose of Medicine Keratosis pilaris happens due to overproduction of keratin due to inflammation, physical pressure on the skin, and stress. If you cultivate it, it can be passed on to offspring.
@@ela7282 " its just that people with keratosis pilaris produce such abundant amounts" But for a reason that can be changed. If it's not congenital initially, and it turned up during your life, it is because our bodies can overproduce keratin as a protective reaction to various influences. It is an over-reaction to something that can be changed, be it diet, not leaning on your elbows hehe, pressures on skin, or stress. Even if it is congenital it can be dealt with and looked at from the various angles I mentioned.
Oh wow, at age 39 I finally understand what this is. I hate to say it's been a huge embarrassment for me since my teens as I have this on my calves and the back of my arms...always covered up and couldn't understand why everyone else had such smooth lovely legs and arms. I thought it was something to do with poor circulation but it's crazy to be able to put a name to it 25 years later. Lots of love to you Cassandra for covering this and to my fellow beautiful KPers :) xx
Cassandra, thank you for calling out the "chicken skin" nickname. I have KP and I honestly never felt self-conscious about it until I began to hear it being referred to as "chicken skin"
wow i’ve never known what the actual name for it was, but ever since i was young i’ve had these small white bumps along my arms! i’ve always been on the insecure side when showing my arms but thank you for this video !!!
okay hi, i started crying while watching this because i had absolutely no idea this thing had a name. I have the same thing all over my upper arms, thighs, back, waist and butt. No one that i know irl has this and the weather's getting colder and it's flaring up again. Thank you Cassandra for this video, you're doing an absolutely amazing job, teaching us the facts in such a non biased and awesome way. Love you❤
Thank you for the video! I have KP and I love when adults tell me I dont take care of my skin when they see it. I also had bad acne in primary school and was teased as being “dirty.” I love the skincare community and how it dispells myths about skin conditions.
I've suffered from KP ever since I can remember and I've always been extremely self-conscious about it (it's on my arms). For years, I've been calling it KP, but I once heard someone call it "strawberry skin" and that simple change in term really helped me feel better about it. Just wanted to share in case that term is able to help someone else feel less embarrassed. :)
Thank you for treating this topic so kindly. I will be chasing up the products you recommend. I’ve got KP quite badly. It’s spread in the last few years to my lower legs and forearms, stomach etc. Almost everywhere. I use products but it’s never gone away completely. It’s difficult not to pick at it. I always cover my arms and legs too, out of embarrassment. Each time I’ve been to Singapore of Malaysia, the humidity is so great for it that it almost clears up within 2 weeks. I obviously need a tropical holiday!!!
I’ve had this my whole life and never knew there were ways to get rid of it. But as excited as I always and to learn, my favorite part was your message at the end of the video, thank you for your kindness and encouragement!! I can’t imagine how many people needed to hear that.
Found this after aggressively picking my arms , suffer with body dysmorphia I’ve never known that this was a condition and that I had this I’ve had this 10 years now thank you so much for helping me I’m going to try get some help for it , it knocks my confidence so much
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making this video 😭😭😭 I’ve been struggling with KP since I was 7 (I’m 23 now). The more I learn about the condition, the better my relationship with my skin has gotten and videos like this have really helped me feel normal. Thank you again
I've had KP for years and had no idea what it was or how to treat it until now. Used to get it loads on my arms, not so much now but I still get it a lot on my legs. This is really useful and makes me feel better knowing what it is and that I can do something for it if and when I choose to. Love your channel! ❤️
Thank you for explainning exactly what Ive been suffering for 20+ years. I was born with extremely dry skin + KP when i got older. It is painful. What you did is life-changing.
As someone who has KP i want to thank you so much for this video. Very few people talk about it even though it’s a condition that affects so many of us! I’ve been struggling with it for as long as i can remember but I’ve finally learned how to feel comfortable in my own skin, and that’s also thanks to you Cassandra ❤️
Thank you for talking about it 🙏🏻 i have pretty severe KP on 80% of my body and i've been always insecured about it and i envy eveyone having a smooth skin. Am trying to just accept it and accept an love myself as i am , but trying to reduce it as well. I wish that someday my skin will be better. Much love for you and everyone suffering from KP. ❤️
Gosh, it's so nice to see someone finally talking about this! I've had KP all over my body for my whole life but most noticeably on my face. I remember how much it bothered me up until about a year ago when I finally started realizing that salicylic acid really helps. Thank you for talking about KP!
Yayyyy!!! Cassandra, THANK YOU. This is the kind of information I wish I had growing up. My KP used to bring me to tears. It can still make me feel self conscious, but i'm so grateful for you empowering us with information. I also deal with seborrheic dermatitis on my face and scalp and even just trying to figure out how to moisturize my dry skin without feeding the malessezia on my face is SO confusing to me. Could you please do a video on seborrheic dermatitis?
I first noticed and was so embarrassed by this condition when I was in my teens. These bumps on my thighs and the back of my arms looked like goose bumps but wasn't. Fast forward several decades later I'm in my 60s and I see it disappears if I stop eating dairy, (especially cheese) for a good period of time. When I go back to eating cheese it comes back..
OMG I ran out to Target and got the SLMD immediately came home and showered. I think I might cry my skin has NEVER been so soft. Not perfect obviously but after 20+ years of being told to use salic acid and told it is just eczema finally finding something that works makes me want to cry. TYVM
I live with this all my life and I was getting weird looks in primary school because of that (I'm 20 now) . It's now better thanks to my dermatologist recomendation. Thank you for this video😊
I had KP my entire life(I'm 53) until covid hit and I started taking a zinc lozenge daily. It is GONE for the first time in my life. I only realized this after I ran out of zinc for a couple weeks and the KP came back. I will take it for the test of my life.
Or you watch because your friend is struggling with KP and since you're the only in person "skincare junkie" they know they try to get you to help them... Mainly replied though, because we crave the cat
I've been out of highschool for YEARS but I still remember vividly the time this girl seated next to me told me my knees looked like chicken skin, and I never wore shorts again in public until my 30's. I have this condition on my legs, the backs of my upper arms, and my booty. I honestly always thought it was because I'm a natural redhead and my skin is so fair. I wish I'd known all this back then, it would have been life changing! I can't wait to try these products and techniques. 🤞
OMG!! I KNOW THIS!! I remember seeing this on my tummy and feeling bad about it. I asked my mom and she didn't know what it was called. NOW I KNOW!!!!!
thank you Cassandra, I've had KP for two years now and I've done nothing about it because like you said, it isn't really a problem. but now I'm getting kind of conscious about it and this video helped me a ton 🤍🦋
I use Skinfix Resurface+ AHA Renewing Body Cream for my KP and I swear by it! It’s hydrating and exfoliating in one product, phenomenal! It currently has lime extract and a nice lime scent, which is fine for my body skin since it’s not a sensitive as my face BUT the brand recently announced that they will be removing this ingredient in the future, so it will be fragrance free soon 😍
ive had this ever since i was a very young kid and dermatologist never offered any treatment exept “use lotions” (which, yk, is not specific enough) or tell me what it was. i’m not really sure why, but i’m glad the medicine/skincare community has gotten to the point where this kind of information is easily accesible for most users. definitely helpful.
Oh mai god, thank you! I've been wondering what is going on with my skin. I knew it was "chicken skin" but that's it. Thank you so much for explaining this
Omg SAME! I always had smooth arms, I just wanted extra smooth skin one time for a special occasion so I used a scrub, and then the KP appeared out of nowhere and never left! 😠 I have it mostly under control now with glycolic acid and 5% urea lotion, but as soon as I stop being consistent it comes back 😐
OMG, this is what I have. I've been to the doctors when I was younger, but they couldnt figure out what it is. But because it is harmless, we didnt do anything about it. Thank you for showing it in different skin tones, because now I finally know what it is.
I have KP. This video was very informative. Thank you so much Cassandra. Your videos are always full of information and has helped me a lot. Thank you! You really are a gem of a person!!
Wow i'am so thankful for this video Cassandra, I suffer from KP skin on my arms and face, Thank You so much for making this video you made me feel so much more confident about myself and also no one should judge in a bad way about their skin issues and appearance. Thank you once again so much.❤❤❤
I have struggled with KP and eczema my whole entire life and have been to so many dermatologists. I have finally figured out a routine that *kind of* works for me, but I'm not lying going vegan is what helped the flare ups go away the most. Not sure how scientifically proven this is though lol.
OMG this video explain KP very well. I have KP since I was 14. It was very crazy when I was 16 to 17. I was always making appointments with the derma for 2 years. My confidence dropped and eventually the products I have used before helped and now I am 28 and the scars are there but my condition has been better. Thanks for this. I learn something new every time for condition. ♡
I exfoliate twice a week and slug nightly as needed with cerave moisturizing cream and aquaphor. I have a lot of skin allergies and I'm photosensitive, breaking out after just a minute in the sun. A lot of chemicals burn where I have breakouts. Cerave and aquaphor don't burn and do a great job at keeping my skin hydrated and smooth.
Y'all...Dr Sandra Lee's stuff works. I've had severe and blotchy KP on my arms and shoulders my entire life. It resembles bad ance from a distance so I've always been super self conscious about it and would wear at the very least a t-shirt if not a cardigan over EVERYTHING. I finally pulled the trigger on this stuff and oh my goodness it freaking works. A week later and it is so minimal I've dropped the cardigans for the summer and am on my way to wearing tanks again!!
Urea is another absolutely wonderful ingredient for KP. It's both a humectant (attracts water) and keratolytic (breaks down keratin). It comes in many different strengths, but I found 20% - 30% is great for KP.
@@olgaemelianova I’ve purchased a ton of 10% urea products since my initial response. This include brands like Cerave, Eucerin, Avene, Dermal Therapy, SVR, Excipial, Shiseido, and Altruist. Great stuff.
I'm a 35 year old woman who searched for a KP solution for over a decade. I initially started watching Dr. Pimple Popper as a form of relaxation, but got really excited when I learned she was releasing KP products. SLMD's KP line has been the only treatment that has been remotely effective. It doesn't cure it completely, and I have to be consistent, but my arms look pretty much normal now. I highly recommend this product!!! Also, yes, more cat stuff, please!
Very informative. Actually have a little of this on my back. My body is all desert so it’s cool to know there are options for different areas of the body.
Thank you so much Cassandra. When I was younger I went to the dermatologist for the very first time for an exam and my mom asked the man what he thought my KP could be, i vividly remember this dermatologist stating he had no idea what it was, but still prescribed me an anti acne medication? I left feeling so discouraged and disappointed that not even a doctor knew what was wrong with my skin. I thought something was wrong with me. 😔 I still have it to this day all over my chest and may contribute to me dressing more “modestly” as everyone around me likes to put it.. Since I didn’t actually have a diagnosis I kind of had to go searching all over the internet for “little white bumps on skin not acne” until I found out that I have KP on my own. Thank you for this video.
I really wish she’d talk about her tremendous hair loss and what can be done if found in the same situation. I’ve lost hair before due to stress and then it grew back with a vengeance
Hi Cassandra! I love you and your content so much. You are such a lifesaver. I’ve had KP for so long and it’s unfortunately so unresponsive to treatment and especially since it’s winter, it’s really acting up. I appreciate you making this video so much, especially the way you explain the science behind it. You’re amazing, thank you so much ♥️
Hi!!! I've struggled with KP basically since birth and the two things that made it completely go away on my legs were laser hair removal and the Isdin Ureadin Lotion10. I don't even do laser hair removal anymore and it still worked! Just wanted to give some extra tips! ☺️☺️☺️
I've had KP my entire life. I started using The Ordinary Glycolic Toner on my thighs and arms twice a week, moisturize heavily after. KP be gone! Oh and the Chemistry Brand Retin body oil!
My mom is a food specialist (somewhat like a dietitian) and she told me multiple times that KP is also influenced by sensitivities. Most commonly it is a sign of gluten sensitivity (which is not the same as celiac disease and cannot be tested the same way!). I can just confirm it as I also have KP and since I haven't been eating gluten I see a huge change even though I use the same products. It takes a long time to disappear by I definitely feel that I am on the right path with diet and products. So it might worth considering to test for such things as well.
Alpha Skincare is also a great affordable glycolic acid based solution. Their 12% glycolic acid body lotion is fantastic. Products can be purchased online at Ulta.com. P.S. it is nearly half the price of the product mentioned in this video.
@@mufferducker822 The Cerave Psoriasis Cleanser contains 2% salicyclic acid, lactic acid and urea. The Cerave SA Lotion contains salicylic and lactic acid. I'd give that a try. You can also try Alpha Skincare Revitalizing Body Lotion. I found that to be more effective than Amlactin. Using something simple as 2% salicylic acid acne pads from CVS works good too. For me, alternating between salicylic, glycolic and urea works best. You can do this very affordably at the drugstore and/or purchasing The Ordinary AHA/BHA products.
The naturium glycolic solution 8% works great for me too and I feel like that bottle will last me at least 6 months (I use it on my face and backs of arms a couple nights a week). Literally the first night I used it on KP, it went away, which was incredible!
I finally found something that works for me. I used to use the uric acid wipes. Those were a miracle, but they stopped making them. The multiple uric acid creams I have tried didn't work and left a chalky residue on my legs. So here's what I finally found after looking for 25 years. I apply lotion at least 3 times a day and at night I put Eva Naturals Vitamin C Serum. It also has Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and some other stuff.
Eucerin Roughness Relief helped the KP on my legs a ton (basically disappeared) but only kinda worked on my arms which has always been much more stubborn. 🤷♀️ I recommend giving it a try though if anyone is looking for an inexpensive solution! I sooo appreciate the way Cassandra talked about KP in this video. I’ve felt so much shame around it as long as I can remember and yes I support not calling it Chicken Skin. Yuck!
Thank you for this. I remember when I was a teen I went to a dermatologist for my KP. The dermatologist told me there was nothing I could do for it and never even told me the name of it! He said it was like a rash. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that my younger sister told me the name of the condition and scrubs she heard worked for KP. I used a scrub from Sephora that did help a little. I just purchased the set from SLMD and I’m really hoping to have some success. I’m 34 now and have always hated my arms and because of my KP I literally never go out in a tank top without a cardigan or cover up. Even in the hottest weather I always wear a light sweater to cover my arms. I wish I had you in my life in my teens lol.
Try Amlactin lotion! Of course check ingredients fist in case you have any allergies... it's affordable and is sold everywhere. I'm seeing definite results on my arms,legs, tummy, and backside!🤭😇
I used to suffer from this condition badly! From a nutritional standpoint I started taking vitamin D and cod liver oil. Externally I used exfoliation and oils like sweet almond oil. Also changed my diet. Cut out sugar and gluten. This is what worked for me! ♥

@@shreyagarg7099 have you tried anything with glycolic acid? A very affordable glycolic acid product is the Glycolic Acid Toner from The Ordinary!
i’ve had KP for as long as i can remember. i’ve liked referring to it as strawbery skin which sounds much cuter than chicken skin 🍓
Or strawberry legs. Idk sound kind of cute actually 🍓 at least cuter than chicken skin
I love strawberries. That is such a cute name!
@Jovana Tasic if you have dark or darker skin then it can definitely show up black rather than red.
@Jovana Tasic may I ask your ethnicity?
@Jovana Tasic i don’t think KP and strawberry legs are the same thing. I have strawberry legs. I didn’t notice my legs were any different than anyone else’s until hs. I try not to be self conscious about it. Idk if there’s anything you can do to change it

I had fungal acne and I have KP

What helped yours? Nothing has helped mine
If it helps, ever since I went wfpb my KP completely disappeared!
I never had it but my little sister does and it used to bother her but I don't think it really does anymore. But I sent her this vid in case
Me too and I’m still covering up my arms at 47 😕
ooh wow! how did you get rid of it. nothing worked for me so far
Thank you for showing what KP looks like on skin tones that aren’t just light! It’s so hard to know how some skin conditions look on dark skin, so it’s very helpful! 💕
Wow, as someone who has had severe KP for my entire life, I didn’t know it would mean so much to me to have someone explain KP so positively. Thank you for your important message that what we look like is the least important thing about us. I’m trying out a salicylic acid moisturizer (Cerave SA Cream) right now that is doing moderately well, but not much better than my regular moisturizer so I’m thankful for the tips!

I've hated wearing short sleeves and shorts around people because it's always made me feel self-conscious and embarrassed, but I'm working on getting more comfortable in my own KP skin! I think people with beautiful, soft skin perhaps don't appreciate what they have?
I've been dry brushing and also using First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser since March and they have helped me so, so much! My arms and butt are nearly perfectly smooth most days and my legs are way better too. The dots still show but these two things have improved my skin texture immensely!
And also like you, I now have someone in my life that doesn't care I don't have perfect skin. ☺️

I'm in my 40's and still have scars on my arms from my teens where I obsessively picked at my kp.... I've had people tell me my skin looks like someone burned me with cigarettes! It's so embarrassing! I've been using amlactin lotion for a week or so and so far it seems to be helping....🤞
My kp (or at least I think it’s kp) doesn’t matter thAt much because I’m Muslim and I don’t wear shorts and it’s on my thighs✌️
"Remember that your skin protects you"... very well said Cassandra!!!
Mannn my whole life I was insecure about my legs and wondered why mine didn’t look like others.. I asked my doctor and she said she didn’t know what it was. I’m so glad the internet is starting to bring light to these things!!
"I asked my doctor and she said she didn’t know what it was." Find a new doctor.
I've had KP my whole life. Luckily, it's never really bothered me in how it looks despite the fact that it covers my arms and is even on my legs a bit.
Fortunately, my mom explained it to me this way when I was little: "It's normal. Some people's skin is like that. It might get better with age and sun, but there's no way to make it go away." And with that, I never thought twice about it or even wished that it would go away. It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I even knew people were trying to get rid of it on themselves or felt bad about it.
If you have KP, you're beautiful! Your skin is beautiful. Use moisturizer and sunscreen just because you should. Try other things if you want to; but know that it is okay, and it doesn't mean your skin is unhealthy if that treatment doesn't work. :)
I always saw that my whole family had it and noticed it on kids arms at school so I figured it was normal😊❤️
I have always had KP in my arms, and would always wear sleeves to cover it up because the onetime I didn’t wear long sleeves someone commented on my arms being red and super bumpy that it made me even more self conscious about it. I have grown to be comfortable with it but this video was really helpful in recommending products but also busting my confidence about having KP. Love your videos!
I've had pretty severe KP on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember until just recently when I discovered skin care, I can tell how much of a difference my arms feels now (not as rough or as many bumps). I'm not a Dermatologist, Esthetician, or specialist of any kind, BUT I just wanted to list some of the products I've been using (that are cheap and easily accessible) that has literally changed my life.
1. First Aid Beauty - KP Bump Eraser w/ 10% AHA (usually do this in the shower)
2. Cerave - SA Cream (Moisturizer)
3. The Ordinary - AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution (I know people normally use this for their face, but it's honestly helped me with the KP on my arms drastically. Only leave on for 10 mins as per the instructions).
Hope this helps anyone!
Hi! Do you use the peeling solution on your face too?
@@lizziebarrie Hi! I personally haven't tried the peeling solution on my face yet only because I feel like I don't need that strong of a treatment on my face. However, a close friend of mine has be using it for a couple months now and she enjoys it. She says it makes her skin a lot more glowy and clear. She has warned me to only do it once a week though (she use to do it twice a week and over-exfoliated her face). Hope that helps!
How often do you use each product?
I have on my buttcheeks. Can I use all these there???
I have been using the body shops tea tree oil face wash as a body wash and it seems like it’s helping.
Keratosis pilaris happens when your hair follicles become blocked with a build-up of keratin, a substance found in skin, hair and nails. 👍
Yep & suck to have! You forgot that fact 😉
What causes keratin or rather keratin build up..also why is keratin found in the human body...sorry for all the questions
@@iidentifyasaPSLGoddess they just said its a substance found in skin hair and nails so every human has it? its just that people with keratosis pilaris produce such abundant amounts
@Daily Dose of Medicine Keratosis pilaris happens due to overproduction of keratin due to inflammation, physical pressure on the skin, and stress. If you cultivate it, it can be passed on to offspring.
@@ela7282 " its just that people with keratosis pilaris produce such abundant amounts" But for a reason that can be changed. If it's not congenital initially, and it turned up during your life, it is because our bodies can overproduce keratin as a protective reaction to various influences. It is an over-reaction to something that can be changed, be it diet, not leaning on your elbows hehe, pressures on skin, or stress. Even if it is congenital it can be dealt with and looked at from the various angles I mentioned.
Oh wow, at age 39 I finally understand what this is. I hate to say it's been a huge embarrassment for me since my teens as I have this on my calves and the back of my arms...always covered up and couldn't understand why everyone else had such smooth lovely legs and arms. I thought it was something to do with poor circulation but it's crazy to be able to put a name to it 25 years later. Lots of love to you Cassandra for covering this and to my fellow beautiful KPers :) xx
I'm in the same boat! I always assumed it was because if my eczema and no dermatologist has ever told me what it was.
"Oh wow, at age 39 I finally understand what this is." You could have gone to the doctor during the last 39 years.
Cassandra, thank you for calling out the "chicken skin" nickname. I have KP and I honestly never felt self-conscious about it until I began to hear it being referred to as "chicken skin"
Which is what has been its AKA since forever. I think sorting it is more important than what people call it.
wow i’ve never known what the actual name for it was, but ever since i was young i’ve had these small white bumps along my arms! i’ve always been on the insecure side when showing my arms but thank you for this video !!!
THIS IS THE BEST YOUR CURLS HAVE EVER LOOKED AND I'M MESMERIZED!!!🤩🤩🤩
okay hi, i started crying while watching this because i had absolutely no idea this thing had a name. I have the same thing all over my upper arms, thighs, back, waist and butt. No one that i know irl has this and the weather's getting colder and it's flaring up again.
Thank you Cassandra for this video, you're doing an absolutely amazing job, teaching us the facts in such a non biased and awesome way. Love you❤
Thank you for the video! I have KP and I love when adults tell me I dont take care of my skin when they see it. I also had bad acne in primary school and was teased as being “dirty.” I love the skincare community and how it dispells myths about skin conditions.
I HAVE KP LITERALLY ON EVERY SINGLE PART OF MY BODY AND NOW I HAVE A RELIABLE SOURCE! THANK YOU CASSANDRA
I've suffered from KP ever since I can remember and I've always been extremely self-conscious about it (it's on my arms). For years, I've been calling it KP, but I once heard someone call it "strawberry skin" and that simple change in term really helped me feel better about it. Just wanted to share in case that term is able to help someone else feel less embarrassed. :)
Thank you for treating this topic so kindly. I will be chasing up the products you recommend. I’ve got KP quite badly. It’s spread in the last few years to my lower legs and forearms, stomach etc. Almost everywhere. I use products but it’s never gone away completely. It’s difficult not to pick at it. I always cover my arms and legs too, out of embarrassment. Each time I’ve been to Singapore of Malaysia, the humidity is so great for it that it almost clears up within 2 weeks. I obviously need a tropical holiday!!!
Ur hair is beyond beautiful !!!
Beautiful mermaid hair
I have KP and I found the DermaDoctor KP Duty product worked really well for me!
I’ve had this my whole life and never knew there were ways to get rid of it. But as excited as I always and to learn, my favorite part was your message at the end of the video, thank you for your kindness and encouragement!! I can’t imagine how many people needed to hear that.
I have had this my whole life on the back of my arms and never knew what it was. I am so happy I found video!!
Thank you Cassandra! For speaking of this so positive and loving it made me smile. This is my biggest insecurity I only have it on my upper arm.
Found this after aggressively picking my arms , suffer with body dysmorphia I’ve never known that this was a condition and that I had this I’ve had this 10 years now thank you so much for helping me I’m going to try get some help for it , it knocks my confidence so much
the way she talks about it makes us feel good about our kp
Thank you! I've had KP since I was 10 and I've never heard anyone on TH-cam talk about this.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making this video 😭😭😭 I’ve been struggling with KP since I was 7 (I’m 23 now). The more I learn about the condition, the better my relationship with my skin has gotten and videos like this have really helped me feel normal. Thank you again
Oh my God, I was just thinking about you doing a video about KP, thank you so much Cassandra, you are the best😘🦋❤️
I've had KP for years and had no idea what it was or how to treat it until now. Used to get it loads on my arms, not so much now but I still get it a lot on my legs. This is really useful and makes me feel better knowing what it is and that I can do something for it if and when I choose to.
Love your channel! ❤️
Thank you for explainning exactly what Ive been suffering for 20+ years. I was born with extremely dry skin + KP when i got older. It is painful. What you did is life-changing.
"Thank you for explainning exactly what Ive been suffering for 20+ years." You could have gone to the doctor over those 20+ years.
As someone who has KP i want to thank you so much for this video. Very few people talk about it even though it’s a condition that affects so many of us! I’ve been struggling with it for as long as i can remember but I’ve finally learned how to feel comfortable in my own skin, and that’s also thanks to you Cassandra ❤️
Thank you for talking about it 🙏🏻 i have pretty severe KP on 80% of my body and i've been always insecured about it and i envy eveyone having a smooth skin. Am trying to just accept it and accept an love myself as i am , but trying to reduce it as well. I wish that someday my skin will be better.
Much love for you and everyone suffering from KP. ❤️
Gosh, it's so nice to see someone finally talking about this! I've had KP all over my body for my whole life but most noticeably on my face. I remember how much it bothered me up until about a year ago when I finally started realizing that salicylic acid really helps. Thank you for talking about KP!
Yayyyy!!! Cassandra, THANK YOU. This is the kind of information I wish I had growing up. My KP used to bring me to tears. It can still make me feel self conscious, but i'm so grateful for you empowering us with information. I also deal with seborrheic dermatitis on my face and scalp and even just trying to figure out how to moisturize my dry skin without feeding the malessezia on my face is SO confusing to me. Could you please do a video on seborrheic dermatitis?
I needed this. I always wondered why my arms are lumpy but not for other people
I've struggled with this all my life, and I LOVE the positive language your using when talking about it! Thank you
I first noticed and was so embarrassed by this condition when I was in my teens. These bumps on my thighs and the back of my arms looked like goose bumps but wasn't. Fast forward several decades later I'm in my 60s and I see it disappears if I stop eating dairy, (especially cheese) for a good period of time. When I go back to eating cheese it comes back..
OMG I ran out to Target and got the SLMD immediately came home and showered. I think I might cry my skin has NEVER been so soft. Not perfect obviously but after 20+ years of being told to use salic acid and told it is just eczema finally finding something that works makes me want to cry. TYVM
I live with this all my life and I was getting weird looks in primary school because of that (I'm 20 now) . It's now better thanks to my dermatologist recomendation.
Thank you for this video😊
I had KP my entire life(I'm 53) until covid hit and I started taking a zinc lozenge daily. It is GONE for the first time in my life. I only realized this after I ran out of zinc for a couple weeks and the KP came back. I will take it for the test of my life.
Brilliant ! Well done.
I like to refer to my “chicken skin” as “swan skin” because my mother did not raise me to be a chicken!!🦢🦢🦢❤️❤️❤️
😂
Also nothing wrong with chickens❤️
I'm just 2 seconds in this video, and my first reaction was WOW your hair is gorgeous!!
When you don't have KP, but still watching this because it's uploaded by Cassie.(Btw please sometimes show your cat Bucket )
Or you watch because your friend is struggling with KP and since you're the only in person "skincare junkie" they know they try to get you to help them... Mainly replied though, because we crave the cat
I don’t have it, but my little daughter has it, she doesn’t mind it now, but I know in the future she may.
You are sooo lucky!!!
I've been out of highschool for YEARS but I still remember vividly the time this girl seated next to me told me my knees looked like chicken skin, and I never wore shorts again in public until my 30's. I have this condition on my legs, the backs of my upper arms, and my booty. I honestly always thought it was because I'm a natural redhead and my skin is so fair. I wish I'd known all this back then, it would have been life changing! I can't wait to try these products and techniques. 🤞
Amalctin lotion has worked wonders for my KP, my skin has gotten really smooth after using it. I haven't had a flare up since.
Tried it and didn't work for me...salysilic acid is next in line for me
Yeah I wish lactic acid was as gentle as specialists say, I get horrible reactions to any product with it.
@@e.g.c.sharpe lactic acid doesn't suit me as well....syslic acid will do
@@amycathcart2319 as for me salicylic as if did not work so next is amalctin
Did it work ?? @@snowblue0526
OMG!! I KNOW THIS!! I remember seeing this on my tummy and feeling bad about it. I asked my mom and she didn't know what it was called. NOW I KNOW!!!!!
It's great to hear someone finally talk about this. I've had KP since I was a teenager and always looked at my friends' smooth arms with envy :(
I've had this all my life and used to try to scrub it off. I'm so glad you have a video over this!
thank you Cassandra, I've had KP for two years now and I've done nothing about it because like you said, it isn't really a problem. but now I'm getting kind of conscious about it and this video helped me a ton 🤍🦋
I know this isn't a video about hair, but you are serving CURLY GIRL GOODNESS here! Gorgeous!
I use Skinfix Resurface+ AHA Renewing Body Cream for my KP and I swear by it! It’s hydrating and exfoliating in one product, phenomenal!
It currently has lime extract and a nice lime scent, which is fine for my body skin since it’s not a sensitive as my face BUT the brand recently announced that they will be removing this ingredient in the future, so it will be fragrance free soon 😍
It's so expensive and given that you have to keep using this type of product or the problem comes back, it really adds up. :(
ive had this ever since i was a very young kid and dermatologist never offered any treatment exept “use lotions” (which, yk, is not specific enough) or tell me what it was. i’m not really sure why, but i’m glad the medicine/skincare community has gotten to the point where this kind of information is easily accesible for most users. definitely helpful.
Oh mai god, thank you! I've been wondering what is going on with my skin. I knew it was "chicken skin" but that's it. Thank you so much for explaining this
Unrelated but could we get a hair care routine? Your natural hair looks perfect !!
Finally someone talking about this! I got mine several years ago after exfoliating my arms! And it actually gets worse in the warmed months 😄
Omg SAME! I always had smooth arms, I just wanted extra smooth skin one time for a special occasion so I used a scrub, and then the KP appeared out of nowhere and never left! 😠 I have it mostly under control now with glycolic acid and 5% urea lotion, but as soon as I stop being consistent it comes back 😐
My flare ups increased with pregnancy. Thank you for explaining and normalizing this!
You should do a video on the difference between blackheads and sebcous filaments!!! :)
This one is actually a little confusing to me, I have to admit!
Yes please
And how to treat SF. My husband has them on his whole face.
OMG, this is what I have. I've been to the doctors when I was younger, but they couldnt figure out what it is. But because it is harmless, we didnt do anything about it. Thank you for showing it in different skin tones, because now I finally know what it is.
I have this on my butt, until you said anything I thought everyone just had it, I always passed it off as goosebumps 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have KP. This video was very informative. Thank you so much Cassandra. Your videos are always full of information and has helped me a lot. Thank you! You really are a gem of a person!!
I came for the skin education, but stayed for Cassandra’s hair 😍
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR YEARS
I have it but I thought it was normal. That explains why I was so itchy for three days straight. 🤷🏾♀️
Wow i'am so thankful for this video Cassandra, I suffer from KP skin on my arms and face, Thank You so much for making this video you made me feel so much more confident about myself and also no one should judge in a bad way about their skin issues and appearance. Thank you once again so much.❤❤❤
I have struggled with KP and eczema my whole entire life and have been to so many dermatologists. I have finally figured out a routine that *kind of* works for me, but I'm not lying going vegan is what helped the flare ups go away the most. Not sure how scientifically proven this is though lol.
Another comment here talked about not consuming dairy as helping.
OMG this video explain KP very well. I have KP since I was 14. It was very crazy when I was 16 to 17. I was always making appointments with the derma for 2 years. My confidence dropped and eventually the products I have used before helped and now I am 28 and the scars are there but my condition has been better. Thanks for this. I learn something new every time for condition. ♡
I’m loving the curls!! 💓
I exfoliate twice a week and slug nightly as needed with cerave moisturizing cream and aquaphor. I have a lot of skin allergies and I'm photosensitive, breaking out after just a minute in the sun. A lot of chemicals burn where I have breakouts. Cerave and aquaphor don't burn and do a great job at keeping my skin hydrated and smooth.
I've been using the ordinary aha toner as a body toner, super affordable.
And is it working? that is actually was I was thinking to do
How’s your progress???
Y'all...Dr Sandra Lee's stuff works. I've had severe and blotchy KP on my arms and shoulders my entire life. It resembles bad ance from a distance so I've always been super self conscious about it and would wear at the very least a t-shirt if not a cardigan over EVERYTHING. I finally pulled the trigger on this stuff and oh my goodness it freaking works. A week later and it is so minimal I've dropped the cardigans for the summer and am on my way to wearing tanks again!!
Urea is another absolutely wonderful ingredient for KP. It's both a humectant (attracts water) and keratolytic (breaks down keratin). It comes in many different strengths, but I found 20% - 30% is great for KP.
I love urea too. Which urea products do you use?
@@anonymous6594 try Eucerin with 10% of Urea. 5% are ok, but 10% solution starts to exfoliate the skin
@@olgaemelianova I’ve purchased a ton of 10% urea products since my initial response. This include brands like Cerave, Eucerin, Avene, Dermal Therapy, SVR, Excipial, Shiseido, and Altruist. Great stuff.
I'm a 35 year old woman who searched for a KP solution for over a decade. I initially started watching Dr. Pimple Popper as a form of relaxation, but got really excited when I learned she was releasing KP products. SLMD's KP line has been the only treatment that has been remotely effective. It doesn't cure it completely, and I have to be consistent, but my arms look pretty much normal now. I highly recommend this product!!!
Also, yes, more cat stuff, please!
Very informative. Actually have a little of this on my back. My body is all desert so it’s cool to know there are options for different areas of the body.
omg. i'm 41 and what you said at the end made me cry. 💕💕💕
You still have it??
I've had this my entire life and really appreciate this video!!!
💜
Thank you so much Cassandra.
When I was younger I went to the dermatologist for the very first time for an exam and my mom asked the man what he thought my KP could be, i vividly remember this dermatologist stating he had no idea what it was, but still prescribed me an anti acne medication? I left feeling so discouraged and disappointed that not even a doctor knew what was wrong with my skin. I thought something was wrong with me. 😔 I still have it to this day all over my chest and may contribute to me dressing more “modestly” as everyone around me likes to put it..
Since I didn’t actually have a diagnosis I kind of had to go searching all over the internet for “little white bumps on skin not acne” until I found out that I have KP on my own.
Thank you for this video.
After 15+ years of having KP I’m finally trying to get it under control as it’s really flaring up and becoming more noticeable.
The ending had me in tears
You are one sweet soul ❤️
I really wish she’d talk about her tremendous hair loss and what can be done if found in the same situation. I’ve lost hair before due to stress and then it grew back with a vengeance
I’ve had This my entire life And I have not been able to get rid of it! I’m so glad I came across your video!
Hi Cassandra! I love you and your content so much. You are such a lifesaver. I’ve had KP for so long and it’s unfortunately so unresponsive to treatment and especially since it’s winter, it’s really acting up. I appreciate you making this video so much, especially the way you explain the science behind it. You’re amazing, thank you so much ♥️
Hi!!! I've struggled with KP basically since birth and the two things that made it completely go away on my legs were laser hair removal and the Isdin Ureadin Lotion10. I don't even do laser hair removal anymore and it still worked! Just wanted to give some extra tips! ☺️☺️☺️
I've had KP my entire life. I started using The Ordinary Glycolic Toner on my thighs and arms twice a week, moisturize heavily after. KP be gone! Oh and the Chemistry Brand Retin body oil!
I want the glycolic acid toner but everywhereeeeeee in germany sold out :(
What do you moisturize with?
How long did it take you to get rid of KP?
@@isyx7832 Honestly about a month, but you have to keep up with it or it comes back.
Did the ordinary toner really work? I've got it so I'll need to try it on my arms.
My mom is a food specialist (somewhat like a dietitian) and she told me multiple times that KP is also influenced by sensitivities. Most commonly it is a sign of gluten sensitivity (which is not the same as celiac disease and cannot be tested the same way!). I can just confirm it as I also have KP and since I haven't been eating gluten I see a huge change even though I use the same products. It takes a long time to disappear by I definitely feel that I am on the right path with diet and products. So it might worth considering to test for such things as well.
Yes, def was caused by celiac disease for me. I think top allergens and auto immune disease should be explored if you have KP aka 'chicken skin'.
A cheaper option would be to use Cerave Psoriasis Cleanser and Cerave SA Lotion or Cream for Rough and Bumpy Skin.
Alpha Skincare is also a great affordable glycolic acid based solution. Their 12% glycolic acid body lotion is fantastic. Products can be purchased online at Ulta.com. P.S. it is nearly half the price of the product mentioned in this video.
@@mufferducker822 The Cerave Psoriasis Cleanser contains 2% salicyclic acid, lactic acid and urea. The Cerave SA Lotion contains salicylic and lactic acid. I'd give that a try. You can also try Alpha Skincare Revitalizing Body Lotion. I found that to be more effective than Amlactin. Using something simple as 2% salicylic acid acne pads from CVS works good too. For me, alternating between salicylic, glycolic and urea works best. You can do this very affordably at the drugstore and/or purchasing The Ordinary AHA/BHA products.
I agree. Cerave has a good and cheaper SA lotion but the purpose of this video was selling the doctors products I guess :D
@@anonymous6594 I just started using the Alpha 12% and loving it so far!
The naturium glycolic solution 8% works great for me too and I feel like that bottle will last me at least 6 months (I use it on my face and backs of arms a couple nights a week). Literally the first night I used it on KP, it went away, which was incredible!
I finally found something that works for me. I used to use the uric acid wipes. Those were a miracle, but they stopped making them. The multiple uric acid creams I have tried didn't work and left a chalky residue on my legs. So here's what I finally found after looking for 25 years. I apply lotion at least 3 times a day and at night I put Eva Naturals Vitamin C Serum. It also has Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and some other stuff.
Eucerin Roughness Relief helped the KP on my legs a ton (basically disappeared) but only kinda worked on my arms which has always been much more stubborn. 🤷♀️ I recommend giving it a try though if anyone is looking for an inexpensive solution!
I sooo appreciate the way Cassandra talked about KP in this video. I’ve felt so much shame around it as long as I can remember and yes I support not calling it Chicken Skin. Yuck!
My two favourite youtubers together 🥺
Just ordered some of the SL MD lotion from Target- they have a great sale right now ($10 off beauty/personal care purchase of $30 or more).
Thank you for this. I remember when I was a teen I went to a dermatologist for my KP. The dermatologist told me there was nothing I could do for it and never even told me the name of it! He said it was like a rash. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that my younger sister told me the name of the condition and scrubs she heard worked for KP. I used a scrub from Sephora that did help a little. I just purchased the set from SLMD and I’m really hoping to have some success. I’m 34 now and have always hated my arms and because of my KP I literally never go out in a tank top without a cardigan or cover up. Even in the hottest weather I always wear a light sweater to cover my arms. I wish I had you in my life in my teens lol.
Did it work for you ?
Urea has helped me mooooorrree than u know ✨😆
I have a mild case of KP and alternate between urea and BHA/AHA body lotions. It keeps it under control.
No one else in my family has KP, and I’m also the only one with severe acne 🙃 oily skin on my face and dry af body, the genetics have blessed me. ✨
Same boat darlin'!!😽😇
Try Amlactin lotion! Of course check ingredients fist in case you have any allergies... it's affordable and is sold everywhere. I'm seeing definite results on my arms,legs, tummy, and backside!🤭😇
I used to suffer from this condition badly! From a nutritional standpoint I started taking vitamin D and cod liver oil. Externally I used exfoliation and oils like sweet almond oil. Also changed my diet. Cut out sugar and gluten. This is what worked for me! ♥
Started doing the same and it's going away!
The only vid i found just straight to the point. Finally
I’ve had this my whole life I’ve never seen my skin without it
