I did some searches on your past post - seems interesting.

How bad was you KP prior to using the Eucalyptus Spearmint lotion? Did it cover much of your body or only small portions? Did you change anything simultaneously whilst using it? Like dietry/excercies/body wash etc...

It covered my thighs, backs of arms and was starting to present on the buttocks. I didn't change anything dietary or exercise-wise.

I actually had it as a kid, and Neutrogena's transparent bar soap got rid of it completely. Then, when I hit 29-30 it came back and it seems more stubborn now. The Neutrogena soap didn't put a dent in it.

Vaseline's Healthy Body Complexion lotion got rid of it over 90% for me, but the BBW eucalyptus spearmint lotion works better.

Sorry, I haven't been here for a while. Every now and then I check out something that was posted or replied to. I quit using it because it wasn't getting any better. It did improve a bit and my skin felt better than it usually does, but I wasn't finding anymore bumps leaving.

I do not find it to be. I do not use this on my face, only my body. For me, this lotion works effectively. If that changes, I will post back on that.

Hey Sencha, i got the BBW lotion today. I have a question about using it. I have 3 different kinds of lotion. One is Jergens with BHA and the second is just a Normal moisturizing lotion and the third is the BBW lotion which i just got. Now for my question, do you think mixing all three lotions before hand, than applying it on my KP area, will help speed up the results, or will it reduce the results? Or should i use them at seperate times. Thanks!

Try using the BBW eucalyptus lotion alone for 1 week (maybe even 2x/day) & see if you notice anything happening. I noticed results within the 1st week. I doubt mixing would affect the results, though, since it is eucalyptus and not a chemical. The thing is, you won't know where the results are actually coming from if you mix. After you ascertain what gives the results, you can start using the other lotions up at night and then use the BBW in the AM after your shower.

I have started using this lotion. Works great! I have even e-mailed Bath and Body Works to compliment them on the product. Hopefully it won't get discontinued anytime soon.

i think it's funny that people are trying to use the spearmint lotion from bbw...i discovered it on my own about a year ago, although it never helped my skin a whole lot. Is there something in the product that might help KP sufferers...like Eucalyptus and/or spearmint?

I found this online:

eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)

Also known as Eucalyptus australiana. Commonly used to regulate overproductive sebaceous glands-which help to retain body heat and prevent sweat evaporation.
