You're like the only dermatologist that care about keratosis pilaris thank you
I totally agree, I know this is a late reply, but I remember going to so many dermatologists throughout my life, and they would say, oh it doesn't hurt, then don't worry about it. It's just aesthetic. Yeah it is aesthetic...
@@rainierherczeg6308 Really? I went to my dermatologist and they prescribed me Ammonium Lactate Lotion (Lactic Acid) for it.
@@starletd6819 I was prescribed a 10% urea lotion from babe brand and didn't do shit for me. It actually leaves my skin red and feeling kinda "hot" for a few minutes after applying... And the lotion feels super oily and smells funky... Ugh.
If I lived in the USA I'd get an appointment with Dr Dray for sure!
I've been told my hole life by dermatologist:you'll just live with it ... so deep thank you!
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out treatments for keratosis pilaris try Alkarno Keratosis Alchemist ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got great success with it.

Hello! Where does she talk about the cerave sa smoothing cream? Your message says 11.20 but I can’t seem to find anything ☹️ also I can only find the renewing cream as a foot cream on amazon? Please help! Thank you ❤️
85yomisma 85yomisma she might not mention that cream directly at that point of the video, I probs chose that one bc it has keratolitics and is to be applied on dry skin as she said, plus this cream is linked in the description
Go directly on the cerave website
Thank you 😊👍
Thank you
putting moisturizer on my wet skin-such a simple change-has DRAMATICALLY improved the skin on my body and my face. I’m truly stunned. Thank you you brilliant beautiful angel of TH-cam
Me too!! I didnt realize that this was the proper/best way to use lotion until 9th grade!
So after you get out of the shower put it on straight away when your wet?
@@lolll1234 For the best result, yes. The idea is to lock in moisture with an occlusive layer (Cerave cream) so the water on your body does not evaporate and dry out/damage your skin barrier. Dr.Dray mentioned if that's too uncomfortable for you, towel dry to until you're damp and then apply your cream.
Which moisturizer do you use?
@@ivnisc I believe she said that if you find it uncomfortable to just stand naked then still put on the moisturizer right away on to wet skin but then after you can just cover yourself with a towel but not dry yourself with it to relieve any discomfort. I don't believe she said to towel dry until damp and then put it on.
🥕 tosis 🥧 laris
Idk y this made me chuckle☺🙈😂
@@alphasthrive1906 same! I literally laughed.
😕I feel dumb cuz this took me a LONGGG time to understand what you meant 🤦😕
But I found it funny
Once I got it
I am amazed at how much information and knowledge you can pack in 1 video. Such a refreshing change from the zillion videos out there on skin care from people who are not qualified to talk about skin care and know nothing about what they are saying. I have always been one to want to UNDERSTAND the logic and science behind things, before making a decision to do something and that's what you provide, so eloquently. Not all doctors have the willingness or ability to do it. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!
Yeeeess! You've perfectly worded all my thoughts exactly
You mean I don’t have to live with bumpy skin for rest of my life 😱thank you for this video no more long sleeves to cover my arms in heat
hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to treat keratosis pilaris try MootKen.xyz Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got cool success with it.
@N Z Make sure to wear sunscreen and/or protective clothing in the sun and when you go outside. Especially since the SA in the last product can cause more sun sensitivity. Don't forget! I also experience this and I wish you the best of luck :)
See my post. I use an exfoliant that chenged my life!!
You really are the best thing that has happened to youtube ever!
Hanna Valenta i agree 100% !! Also she is the best thing that has happened to my skin 😉
So scientific, but so relatable. Very few people can pull that off. TOTALLY saved my skin, cured my constant exzema and saved me so much money spent on useless products.
Agreed!!!!!
Agree!!
Hi Hanna and everyone. I wanted to know does KP have to be washed daily?. Doors it cause dirty skin? TY.
Can you do a video about your road to becoming a dermatologist? Is it always what you wanted to do? When did you find it was what you wanted to do? Ups and downs of being a dermatologist? Etc
13:25 Use CeraVE Body Wash for Dry Skin
14:01 CeraVE Moisturizing Cream after just getting out the shower (you can put it on face)
15:10 CeraVE Renewing SA cream 2x a day (please put this on DRY skin; not wet skin) This is not for the face. Just on the targeted areas where you have KP. [Don’t Use If Pregnant]
Thank you for this very informative video. I followed your recommendation and it made a big impact on my upper arms. The only thing is that I’m using the SA body wash (just on the affected area not the entire body).I was very surprised. After a week of following all your routine I saw a big improvement. I would say my skin improved 85% after just one week. Thank you so much for creating this video!
Items I use:
Morning routine (I shower every morning):
1- CeraVe SA Body wash for rough & bumpy skin (apply only to the affected area)
2- CeraVe moisturizer (apply right after the shower on wet skin). Let it dry
3- CeraVe SA Cream for rough & bumpy skin.
Evening
1- reapply CeraVe SA Cream for rough & bumpy skin.
Thank you again!
This is a REVELATION. I've had chicken skin all my life (I'm 45), as well as severe sensitivities to essential oils and many other skincare ingredients. I've always wondered why my skin seemed so fragile compared to other people's but I had no idea that chicken skin was even a real "condition" let alone something genetic. I feel so much better knowing I have a tendency toward an impaired skin barrier and that there's something I can do about it. Thank you so much!
Its good when you are not ashamed of your skin in public, had this dermatologist on instagram, he solved mine, his good, contact him.👍
I had this condition from childhood through my mid-thirties. That is when I changed my diet and gave up gluten, which improved my skin as well as countless other issues. I also chunked most of commercial skincare and switched to organic coconut oil as my after shower moisturizer. Over time, my skin improved and today, you would never guess I ever had a severe case of this condition. Just offering my experience to help!
So you didn't use salicylic acid or anything? Just coconut oil?
I went vegan and it went away
I believe the celiac disease affects the skin condition, that would perhaps explain why giving up gluten had such an effect? Allergies can also affect the skin, and you can be allergic to wheat etc.
curvyquill I gave up gluten and it cleared for me too, but then again I’m probably an undiagnosed celiac
L.E. Decker I’m about to have to give up gluten for the sake of my skin and it is breaking my heart 😭
This lady is a genius, it's fascinating watching someone who is so clearly an expert in their field. Thank you for your help Dr Dray.
I have this condition literally all over my body except for my face and neck, every inch of my body, arms, legs etc. I've looked EVERYWHERE for a "cure" or an overnight fix because it's given me some severe body confidence issues, but every time I research for a solution I see that there is "no known cure" and it's so disheartening. I'm 19 and I've noticed this issue since I turned 14 and I'm sick of feeling so insecure about this issue.
Your video has been so informative and I'm so glad I finally found someone who really knows what they're talking about and I hope your advice can help me. Love from Australia
how is it now
16:30 “So the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream in the tub functions to address the insult of bathing.” I love your descriptions and use of language! You’re a Dermatological poet. 🤗
Best tip I've gotten...I've been applying cerave to my wet skin post shower now for awhile, its helped my dry skin so much. Thank you!
I had this and used Cerave’s SA cream. Cleared it right up. You have to continually use it, obviously but it works miracles.
My husband uses this cream and loves it. I wish it were a little cheaper though.
How did you use it?
@@victoriafernandes0703 just rub it over the affected area :)
Thank you for making this video! 50% of the population has Keratosis Pilaris! But no one has addressed like you did.
thanks for watching!
I liked that u expressed an understanding that everyone may not be comfortable with their body so u provided a simple solution for that. This was very mindful & generally goes under appreciated. Kudos to u for that, great video as usual ☺
thanks for watching
Thank you for this. This was way more informative for my KP than the derm appointment I went to years ago. I had no idea it was a skin barrier issue and that moisturization is a key component to any treatment.
thanks for watching!
Holyy fuuuuuu- i’m 17 and I never knew this was an actual condition that could be treated I’ve been insecure about my legs for years
Same! I'm 22, I always just thought I had acne on my legs XD
Dr dray you are the best..can you do videos on dark armpits? How to lighten and prevent them to get dark again? How to shave or wax or pluck armpits hair.. that would be so interesting topics..thank youuuu..
Lady N you can solve this problem with natural masks, some organic materials in your pantry you can use for this is: tomatoes, lemon, acv, turmeric (good for face especially since it’s not acidic) potatoes. There are lots of videos on TH-cam you can watch to make these masks.
Waxing is better than shaving as shaving creates irritation and razor bumps. Plucking is too tedious and can lead to your pit hair, an essential bodily function from growing properly again. Watch videos on TH-cam on how to make a sugar wax at home and use it. Natural is the safest way
Honestly for me, I switched to aluminum free deodorant and shave with a standard dove bar. I wasn't intending to get rid of dark underarms, but it did happen! My deodorant is the Wal-Mart brand of Tom's.
sticksandstones713 I got a allergic reaction to toms. Go figure. 😩
High blood sugars can cause this
I’ve gone to three different dermatologists over the past few years and none have told me there was a treatment for this..thank you very much.
On again CeraVe skincare wins the day!!
Cera Ve has saved my skin throughout this winter.
Happy Wednesday 🙂🍁
Happy Wednesday!
My son is seven and I think he has this on his legs. Since he was a baby he's has this type of skin. My other son does not have it. Can I use this tips on him? I've used burts bees since he was a baby. I don't moisturize his skin. I'm thinking on eliminating dairy too.
This is hands down the best video about keratosis pilaris I’ve ever seen. It not only has really complete and important information but it has a lot of backup for the reasons of the products that are recommended.
I get told off all the time for not drying my skin off with towelling and just moisturize. Good to know I'm doing something right. Thanks for this information, my daughter suffers from eczema, allergies, asthma and chicken skin. I'm going to try this with her.
Honestly it disappeared from my body when I went gluten free! And I am not celiac - someone needs to do some research and raise awareness on this!
Could the change be explained by an allergy?
Mine went away when I went gluten free also
@DecMist yes!! My friend has this and many other sensitivities and breaks out really bad if she has gluten
I'm actually really sold, i loved how comprehensive your explanations were. So to sum it up, using CeraVe products: Body wash in the shower (which shouldn't be longer than 10 minutes, and not too hot), then get out of the shower and apply CeraVe moisturizing cream (face and body) on wet skin, and finally, CeraVe SA cream twice/day on dry skin (for example before going to bed)
I’ve been subscribed for a little over a year now, and your videos have completely changed my approach to skincare! I used to view it cosmetically and would spend hundreds on Sephora products, but now I just look for the active ingredients that you mention at the drugstore :) saves a ton of money, and it’s way more effective! Thank you, Dr. Dray!
I was diagnosed with celiac disease 6 years ago & subsequently diagnosed with KP.. which is so bad that it was initially confused for dermatitis caused by celiac disease. I had hopes that eliminating all traces of gluten in my life would help my KP. I also went dairy free for a while. But my KP has only gotten worse over the years and nothing seems to work longer than a mere few days of clearing. After watching this I suspect it’s in part because my skin products and routine have been too aggressive and making the problem worse. I’m so excited to try this. Thank you for posting and explaining the condition so well!!
I could have used this when I noticed these bumps in 7th grade and didn’t know what it was or what to do. I was self conscious and wished my arms were smooth like the other girls. Glad it has reduced since then but this video is still extremely helpful. Thanks!
I really wish someday i can confident enough with my skin (with or without KP). I always feel miserable and insecure , i even feeling more insecure if somebody said i'm beautiful (because they don't know i have KP and if they knew their will take back their word and dissapointed at me maybe?). I know it's wrong thought but i can't help thinking abt it . My parents think it's not something to bother, so now when i had money by myself i try to find a help from dermatologist, even my dermatologist said it will be hard to get rid of it, so im kind lose hope again since its already almost 8 months and i dont have any changes haha, she more focused to skincare for my face actually. I just bought CeraVe now and hope there will be any differences. Thank you for your video! :)
Any differences?
Thank you. I had no idea that I was supposed to apply SA cream to dry skin!
This was incredibly helpful and I’m already seeing a HUGE difference in my skin!! Thank you so much Dr. Dray, I love your channel!!
Heya, can you please give me an update? I really need someone to tell me their experience with these products because my skin is getting worst. 😑
Dr. Dray - I've never asked for a review of a product but this one I cannot help but ask. Alpha Skin Care Body Lotion with 12% glycolic acid (available on Amazon for 16.99 - 12 oz). My son got rid of his chicken skin with it and he had leather skin. It is so soft now. I use it because I can put it on right out of the shower and not need lotion for days. It really is amazing. No fragrance. I'd love to have you review it because it changed his life. He was very self conscious of that chicken skin and leathery feel. For me, I just had dry skin that had little lines and nothing works like this does. Thank you so much if you do review it or the ingredients.
i think i have recommend that in other videos, it is great
i have chicken skin and am very conscious of it :(( pls link me !!
@@christinel2359 please link you to the lotion?
@@christinel2359 it's on Amazon. It's called Alpha Skin Care 12% Glycolic Acid. It's 16.99 for a 12 oz bottle. Best lotion going for thickened skin, dry skin, chicken skin, flakey skin. You name it.
Alpha is a great lotion, I found it at Ulta, not sure on the price. Another great lotion from Amazon or Sams Club is Nature Well Clinical Advanced Moisture Cream...I was getting crepey skin on my arms and hands...I put this on after shower while still wet and works wonders. It has retinol in it, no fragrance
I got more out of this 24 min video than I ever have seeing my own doctor about KP. THANK YOU WOMAN!
I started using CeraVe SA Cream per recommendation of my dermatologist for keratosis pilaris on my arms. I had also started to notice a similar bumpiness on my chest and under my buttocks and applied it to those areas too --IT WORKS. Not only has the texture of my skin improved everywhere (no bumps) but my skin also feels tighter in those areas! I'm not sure what the cause of the tightness is or if it's just a placebo effect, but I am absolutely in love with this product.
Hey! After how long did you start to notice a difference?
Using the Cerave SA cleanser followed up by the SA moisturizer has helped a lot. Also using Eucerin Intensive Repair for Very Dry Skin helps too!
Ever since discovering your channel I’ve been cutting out as much fragranced stuff as I can from my skin care.
Tips for razor bumps, specifically in the bikini zone! Thanks ❤️
sugar waxing!!
Laser
Always shave on well moisturized skin. Better to shave in the shower, exfoliate gently right before shaving. Don't use shaving foams, etc, they are often drying, I personally prefer hair conditioners, they have silicones that can protect the skin. Moisturize immediately after, wait for the moisturizer to dry, and sprinkle some dusting powder before putting clothes on; this reduces friction which can lead to irritation of the shaved area and cause bumps. Hope this helps. 😊 If you continue to have bumps regardless, there's a high chance you have sensitive skin intolerant to shaving, and you might want to look into other methods of hair removal (trimmers are amazing). All the best!
@@CaLi-TailzUp Ya, Does can anyone here direct me to a video where she addresses laser hair removal (LHR) and KP? So far, I have not found clear evidence that it helps. As I understand KP isn't a problem directly because of the hair, but a deformity of the hair follicle having a curl that makes it more prone to plugging up, so once it does plug up, the hair has no easy way to grow out and ingrown hairs result.
Tips for facial skin that’s become dull & textured please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Watch her prescription RATIN-A (Tretinoin cream)... Best anti aging product. It also removes the damaged/ wrinkled skin. TRETINION is god sent. Lol!. Read the instruction before using it.
I'm about your complexion and my skin has improved so much with Tretinoin and Glycolic acid on alternate nights.
Walrus Latte thanks
Paulas choice glycolic acid 💗
My son has had KP since birth, it has not gotten better with age...he is almost 24 and it is still bad on his arms. I have bought everything, even stuff from Europe that I see on TH-cam. He only uses Cerave, but not in this way, (while still wet, avoid soap everyday, SA twice a day) I cannot wait to put him on this routine!!! xo
I think the most effective is adapalene, tretinoin. Urea, lactic acid, glycolic acid are good too. But all this treatment don't make it go away and it’s depressing. Most people have normal skin without imperfections. I envy them so much. Foundation on arms to hide it when you put on a t-shirt, it helps psychologically. But I just want to cry. sorry for my english, I'm french.
I feel this girl,never know what to do in summer having my arms out makes me uncomfortable
MAC Face and Body foundation applied with a sponge works great to conceal KP when you feel self conscious.
Angel Tricat follow her direction in this video and you will be amazed. The cerave cream on wet skin already worked for my chicken skin Now I will use the SA cream too.
@@kristyreynolds8334 Thanks for the tip !
@@kristyreynolds8334 Yes, MAC face foundation it's what I put on my arms with a brush, and it looks natural and beautiful.
I love that all of the products are affordable too! You’re not touting some crazy $50 creams. I’m definitely going to start using these products to help with my KP and extremely dry skin. I’ve tried what seems like a dozen different products for KP to no avail so I hope all of this helps!
Keratosis pilaris is the reason I started watching you and i already do the cerave cleanser and moisturizer on the tub. Will give this a try thank you 🙏
Hey do you mind sharing your experience?
10 minute showers without hot water?! 😩 You want my cold-blooded self to die, huh?
Lol .. that's so me ..
LOL
P it’s ok, your skin will get use to it and will take care of you later if you take care of it now while your young.
It's a vitamin A deficiency. Creams and lotions are not going to help because this is coming from within. You cant just take A suppliments tho. Cod liver oil would be best and with K2 since it has D3 in it. Vitamins are better because they are essential or we die. Get your A levels tested as well as all your levels. All skin issues are within the body. Psoriasis and Eczema are gut issues believe it or not.
Prizzilla I have lupus and it’s literally impossible for me not to have hot water while I shower it’s not scalding but it’s hot. . I do try to take shorter showers but there are some things in life I won’t give up. I have CeraVe and vanicream in the shower which I lather all over my body. I use in the am in shower, CeraVe sa cleaning for face and CeraVe sa body wash. It’s helped me so much as far as chicken skin goes.
I don’t have KP, but since I started putting the tub Cerave on wet skin, my skin is remarkably more soft, moist and not crepey,
moisturizing really helps the skin :)
This woman deserves a price! And like 300 million followers, seriously. 👑🏆🥇🎖🏅
Hi dr. Dray. I've been watching for ages and I have to thank you. Cerave came to Sweden just a couple months ago and i really feel that I can get what I need for a very low price. I've been on tretinoin for adult acne for a while but not been completely happy with all of the closed comedones I still had, so I tried a benzoyl peroxide wash in the mornings and I think that was the best thing to help me on my way. Couldn't be more thankful for your help and the entertainment of your content!
When I showed my thighs to a dermatologist and asked her what it was, she just dismissed it as dry skin. Well, it is more than that! Thank you again for helping me put a name to it, even if I can only do so much about it.
Wow I’m glad that you mentioned that people with keratosis Pilaris can make their condition worse with products... I firmly believe this is what happened to me!
I’ve stopped using all products and my skin has gotten a lot better.
As someone with keratosis pilaris, you’re tips are actually awesome I’ve put these into practice through trial and error.
yeah, less is more
I've been looking for why the skin on my arms look this way for 20 years. Thank you!
Does anyone else have this on the cheeks of your face? I’ve never been able to fully get rid of it. Very self conscious when it comes to it.
Yes!!! I wonder if the products she mentioned would be good for facial use too
Me
My son uses The Ordinary glicolic peel, and it helps!
Legit before discovering your channel I was at a loss of what to do with my KP. Amlactin saved my skin a million times over and now this summer for the first time in years I’m able to wear shorts and tank tops comfortably. Your channel helped my skin and gave me confidence to not feel embarrassed of my skin for the first time in my life. I don’t know if you read your comments but I wanted to tell you thank you. 💜
Thank you so much Dr Dray! I suffer from severe KP since teenage, remember when I first read documents saying this condition usually go away with aging, I was so hopeful, but i am now in my 30s, no sign of improvement, guess no getting better for me. I now have been using the cerave SA renewing cream daily for about 2 years, this is the only product that actually can have the symptom under control.
She is RIGHT! DO NOT DRY OFF AT ALL! You will have to rub the product in longer ans kind of "air dry" but it is so worth it! I noticed this when I started doing it with oils immediately after my showers last summer. I stayed pretty hydrated during the day. I will be looking into the E45 since it looks like it's within my price range.
I had this on the back of my upper arms as a child and into my teens.
Now that I’m older I hardly have it, sea salt helped a lot in my case
GAH!!! This condition (and eczema) plagued my childhood and adolescence! My pediatrician recommended only dove soap and cetaphil products. As a result my skin was always on FIRE. I suffered from rashes and my skin was always inflamed and irritated, and I was horribly teased for my skins appearance by other kids.
It wasn't until I visited a dermatologist around age 19 that I got a firm grasp on this condition and how to treat it. I've used Cerave and Eucerin products for about 8 years continuously and haven't had a rash since. I am an absolute devotee to Cerave and Eurcerin. Thank you so much for going into detail about the cereave SA cream usage! I'll introduce that product into my skincare this week.
Thank you so much I have this on my legs and arms and I am so dramatic so it depresses me I can't remember the last time I wore a skirt or dress
Me too ☹️
Kaitlyn Ortega it’s on my upper arms and upper back. I’m only 13...
Me too
Every time I addressed this to my doctor she would always dismiss my concerns, love you Dr. Dray. I had no idea about KP being a dry skin thing and I had no idea that there were moisturizing creams for it when I was younger.
This is irrelevant to this video, BUT...I wanted to thank you for recommending the Cetaphil oil control moisturizer with spf 30! It works amazing with my acne prone skin, and works great while being on Retin A cream! You saved my skin Dr Dray...THANK you!! 💜 much love from, Northern California!!
Glad to hear you like it!!
Diet can effect your skin considerably. Since going Keto over a year ago my KP has reduced significantly. I’d say 75% gone. Possibly what I still see is redness from scaring so if I use some products it may get even better
Love your channel!!! There are so many misconceptions about protecting skin barrier due to marketing tactics from beauty companies. I love everything you recommend. I have the hardest time convincing my clients that they are overdoing it with the abrasive products in the shower. I had chicken skin for a long time on my thighs. I stopped using harsh abrasive shampoos & body washes. I use baby body wash once a week & co. wash instead of shampoo. Now my skin barrier seems to be back and my skin is no longer itchy or bumpy. ❤
Urea, AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids topicals are very helpful for this condition. You just have to find the combination/products that work for you. I alternate between all of them and it works for me.
I've used the cerave SA lotion and it did absolutely nothing for my KP. The cerave in the tub is actually great as a moisturizer. I forgot to add the gold bond rough and bumpy skin lotion works for me. It really helps removing the old skin.
The SA cream works way better than the SA lotion
I use Dermaveen body wash- its really gentle & the colloidal oatmeal helps with itchy skin.I also follow ur advice & slap on Vanicream in the tub, straight from the shower.It works, except it stays sticky & takes quite a while to airdry.Thanx for all the info:)
It has been less then a week since I got CeraVe mosturizer and some other creams you recommended and is amazing how fast it works and how much my skin problem (which I didn't know I had) has improved. Now I know it is keratosis and how to get it better.
Thanks again and have a great day 🌷🌷🌷
Glad to hear!
Heya, can you please give me an update again? My Arms and face is getting worst because of KP. I really need the right product. Please?
Priyanka Nimbalkar you need to do the cerave cream right after your shower. Let that dry then use a keralytic lotion after. I also use a washcloth to gently scrub my arms during every shower. Follow her instructions. It works!
@@ladonnamontalto917 Heya, thanks for responding. Keralytic lotion? Is that a brand or some ingredient in the lotion? I am currently using Cetaphil moisturising lotion and have ordered cerave cream as well. Do you mind explaining a little about the lotion? so i can follow the right products.
@@priyankanimbalkar8133 please can u let me know your experience with cerave and citaphile please let me know ❤
I did the lotion after shower and my skin feels AMAZING!! Definitely a weird feeling, kind of makes me feel like a slug but I feel so awake and fresh a few minutes later
I’m in awe of all the hard work, time, and effort you put in your videos. I have learned so much and my family’s skin thanks you. XO
Thanks for watching!
I came across some videos from beauty bloggers telling people that since it's a build up of dead skin they sould take sugar scrubs and exfoliate their skin with it a few times a week and follow it up with some lotion. I may not know much but even I thought that would be irritating. I am so glad you make these videos to give people good advice.
Thank you so, so much! This video is such a great help! I have terrible KP on my legs, hips and arms to the point where I can't even look at it and always shower in the dark :/
Hi! I didn't know this problem. But for many problems, the basic routine with good products seems to be the key to success. I am always looking forward to my routine of applying Cerave cleanser and cream. I like the feeling these products give me. With all these choices we have today, we can find a product that will please us more for the application. The more hydrated our skin is, the more pleasant it is to apply the cleanser and cream. I had already tried to have a routine and I never succeeded. Now I'm addicted....what a wonderful drug...lol!
I LOVE the SA cream by CeraVe. I use that stuff on my elbows, heels, arms. chest, and FACE! YES, FACE! I absolutely love it!
I have this on my arms.. can’t wait to watch it’s very unsightly
Damn I've been applying the SA lotion to wet skin and it burned. Now I know why thanks!
ouch!
Saaameeee ..i thought i had an allergic reaction to it ...i wached so many videos suggesting cerave SA but no one mentiened how to acctualy use it untill i found Dr Dray
Wonderful video -I did not know that I needed to apply the Cerave SA cream to dry skin - So naturally I was applying it to wet skin after I got out of the shower and it wasn’t working that great - I’m going to give it another go - thanks Dr. Gray because I certainly have dry skin.
The Cereve SA lotion has done wonders for the KP I can tend to get. Ameliorate is a great one in the UK. Thanks for the awesome video!! 💛
How long were u using it before seeing improvements?
Same that SA took a month and half to reduce KP on my arms. But, my legs have improved but, I think it’s going to take awhile longer.
But this lotion will remain apart of my routine forever!
@@oliverxhmll mine is pretty mild and it only takes a week or so if I am consistent with it.
It is a great one! Happy Wednesday!
When do you use the SA lotion? Like what time of the day?
CeraVe is the only thing I can use on my skin with eczema. That body wash saved my life. My skin used to get bad reactions to everything. But after using the CeraVe body wash it’s so much calmer. It feels like healthy skin again. Thank you for the recommendation!
Thank you so much dr! I suffer from KP. This video is extremely helpful! Love you
My KP disappeared completely when I removed gluten from my diet. Skin health starts in the gut.
I love you Dr Dray! I really cannot thank you enough for changing my skin to the better
My all skin changed (face, body) since I started watching ur channel and taking ur advice. U r so good at explaining things. Thank u
Well I may be changing my entire Christmas list to Cerave products
Had this all my life, used many products and drs RX , WHAT WORKED FOR ME IS JOJOBA OIL AFTER THE BATH ON DAMP SKIN, SIMPEL AND VERY EFFECTIVE.
Thank you for clarifying in detail how to use the SA cream or any treatment cream in general. I was not using it properly. Excellent video! Thank you Dr. Dray. You’re the best. 👍🏻
I love how encyclopedic your knowledge is of these conditions. Such a thorough analysis.
Thank-you for this! My KP has gotten much worse since menopause. It used to only be on my upper arms, and now it's also on my legs and torso. I'm starting this routine today. The bumps everywhere are not pretty. Wonderful content as always Dr Dray. Have a great day.
Thanks for watching!
Hope you don't mind me asking, did it work for you?
@@Alexandraincognito hate to say I'm not consistent. At one point I was layering Cerave lotion with salicylic acid over Eucerin with 5 or 10% urea (10% in winter) twice a day. I definitely saw an improvement, but not 100%. I now apply Eucerin with urea after a shower and call it good.i got tired of reapplying lotion and decided to live with a few bumps. Everyone's skin is different, so you can experiment and see what works for you. 🙂
Please also try Cetaphil Lotion and an Antibiotic Cream. Those combined with CeraVe Cleansers, Lotions and an Antihistamine have helped for me. (I also have Eczema).
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I went to a dermatologist when I was young and they didn't explain why I have these little bumps and why moisturizing is so important for this condition.
Thank you for such a helpful video! I have this (even on my butt cheeks). Hate it! I was rubbing the tretinoin on my forearms and it seemed helpful but will try the Cerave "Trifecta routine" instead. I'd like to finally have nice arms for summer time... :-)
Loved this video Dr. Dray!! All the videos you upload are so valuable!! The knowledge I have retained, through your video's have changed my life!! You are such an an inspiration to so many of us, and to me!! I look forward to your videos sooo very much!! Thank you as always for an Amazing video!! Please enjoy the rest of your Day Dr. Dray!!
Thanks! I am glad to hear they are helpful :)
God bless you! Thank you for explaining what I've dealt with my whole life. I have this and extreme atophic dermatitis.
Thank you so much for the info. I was using the renewing SA cream immediately after showering... I will now apply to dry skin at nighttime! :)
I have found showering less (once every 2nd day - I work in an office so not that gross) and obvs not in hot summer ... but showering less and drinking a ton of water daily has helped.
:)
I’m so thrilled that I’ve found you on here. Thank you for all you do to help all of us. Much appreciated!
I finally got a chance to watch this video. I've had keratosis Pilaris on my arms for years. I had been using the Cerave tub moisturizer for a couple of months and it helps. I haven't tried the SA Cerave cream though. Thank you for the video! Very informative as always 😃
Thanks for watching! KP is a pain to cope with
I love that you cover a variety of topics. This as long as many, I can relate to. Thank you for taking your time with this video. Not many people cover this subject and I know my sister and I will be able to take better care of this issue. You are a saint. Sending love to you, your mom, and Tybee.
Thank you so much!!! The KP on my body has gotten worse with age(or time), and now extends down my forearms and thighs.
This is the best explanation of KP and of what the ingredients in the CeraVe products actually do to address the issues that I've found online. Thank you.
Dairy products give me kp. A small portion of cheese is fine but yogurt or cream... No.
Definitely going to give these products a try. I live in a super dry climate so dehydration internally and externally are always a problem!
I have a question/request. Could you make a video about dry skin on the body but oily skin on the face? And your recommendations.
i have videos on both those topics, with recommendations
