So do you think it's because we do not get proper circulation in the KP areas? When I go jogging the KP areas turn really red. You would think that exercise would promote stronger blood flow. That's why I thought mine got more red. Hmm! I don't have a dry brush. Maybe I should try that.

i bought the eucerin redness relief, but i am not sure when to use it..i put glycolic acid at nite so should i put it on top of that before i go to bed? i dont want to put too many things...

hey,

I'm from st.catharines and I haven't found it anywhere. I even looked around toronto but no luck. only way to get it here is online.

I always say this. There are only three things which can remove, or significantly decrease the redness, but they come at a great risk. 1. PDL- very expensive however. 2. VERY potent corticosteroids, ie Triamcinolone Acetonide cream .1%, 3. ORAL retin-a (isotretinoin)-not as likely to remove redness as other two, but less risky.

Eucerin's site is offering a free trial of the whole redness relief system...so I'm gonna try it...since it's free.

I get redness relief with using a cream cleanser not soap non oil lotion and cream. If I stop using it then it comes back for a quick flare up the cream works good and isn't a steriod. This system was made for people with eczema but so far as I can tell most people with kp have issues with skin sensitivity. They do ship to Canada and its the cream in the jar I use for redness after I excercise . The cream cleanser has been great as I have been using glycolix 15% on a large percentage of myself and need something real gentle or I get irritated red. It can also be used on your face .

There is another thread on the board about using non soap cleansers . Good luck

Hi! Has anyone gotten any results from Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Lotion? Or Aveeno Ultra Calming Redness Lotion? It's been working ok for my skin, but i was just wondering if anyone has gotten any results. Thanks!

i know the sun helps with the redness.

if anyone living in canada knows about a moisturizer with urea in it; what is the name and whats the company?

thankyou.
.

eucerin repair plus lotion did nothing for me..the cream however, did.

Thanks missliss25. I have been using the lotion kind for about a week and a half and it seems to be helping a little bit. After I get out of the shower I put on the intensive repair lotion, and in the morning I put on Aveeno Ultra-Calming daily moisturizer. I'm wondering if I should be applying more lotion daily then I already am.

lulu'185 -- There is a product from Eucerin called PLUS Intensive Repair Creme that has urea and alpha hydroxy to help exfoliate. I've also found using a cream cleanser body wash from dove in the shower works well.

yeah. yeah. that is the cream i've used. it worked, but i went through the bottle wayyy too quickly to justify repurchasing it continually. i also use Glytone bodywash because it has a very high percentage of AHAs (higher than what is typically available).

where do you get the Glytone bodywash? Is that perscription or just over-the-counter?

Thanks so much missliss25! Also, the Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Creme says it is "non-greasy, fast absorbing". I applied the creme to my arms and the creme STILL hasn't absorbed, even after 10 minutes. Also, my arms look incredibly greasy. What is going on!?
