Hi,
I am new here, and quite happy to find this website.


First of all, I read on a medical website thise tips http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1246.htm :

• Education and reassurance (it is indeed not the end of the world )are the cornerstones of therapy for keratosis pilaris.
  
• The noninflamed horny papules usually remit with age and increasing time, but they are resistant to most forms of short-term therapy.
  
• Encourage tepid showers instead of hot baths, along with the use of mild soaps and a home humidifier.
  
• An emollient cream may help alleviate rough surfaces in mild cases. A topical keratolytic agent such as lactic acid, salicylic acid, or urea preparations may be beneficial in more extensive cases. Several recent reports claim good results with 2-3% salicylic acid in 20% urea cream. Topical tretinoin therapy has also been used with varying degrees of success.
  
• Lesions with significant inflammation may improve with the use of medium-potency emollient-based topical steroid preparations. Inflammation is usually reduced markedly by 7 days, at which point the steroid should be discontinued.

My question now, is I found this product on a website with a lot of positive comments... and we all know that these comments may be for a marketing purpose...! So has anyone of you tried the DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Moisturizing Therapy For Dry Skin? It does contains urea and glycolic acid (but no salicylic acid), it doest not states the % of the ingredients. So any one with a positive comment on this product?

thank you

I rememeber a lot of posts about this product from several months ago (it may have even been a year or more!). Search the old posts and archives. I remember people saying the product was nice, but didn't do much for their KP. I prefer to use Kerlyt (for the sal-acid) and Camrol 40 (for the urea).
