My doc from NY (with a PhD and md degree) prescribed Hydro Foam 40 for my keratosis pilaris. This moose like foam is expensive (50 co-pay) but it seems to be worth it. I've only used it 3 times and my skin is noticeably smoother. But I'm most impressed with the effects it's having on my face. I have keratosis on my face too and the red cheeks that goes with that. Not only has it removed the redness, smoothed the bump (which I use to think were razor bumps) but it's also cleared up blemishes and ingrown hairs, that I would get now and then around my neck. Again, these cans are expensive and because they come in 2.5 oz can as the large, you use it quick. None the less it's given me very promising results.
I was motivated to write this because at work 3 people said that I looked pale and asked if I was feeling sick. I took a close look in the mirror and noticed the effects

I hope my sharing this might help.

Yes, thank you so much for sharing that information - Milo by any chance can you tell me what this Hydro Foam 40 consists of ?
Salicylic Acid or AHA?
Im very curious...

I just purchased Keralyt 6% Salicylic Acid
a 40 oz for 60.43 because Kasier (my insurance does not cover it)
I will be trying that tonight....
I hate my KP I have had it since I can remember....

Any information is really appreciative..

Thanks

Will it get rid of the red dots?

wow - yours cos that much? mine was $9 i think. i was prescribed it for some eczema i have on my hands and knees though - it didn't do anything for my KP

It contais 40 percent urea in a water-lipid based foam.No aha or salicylic acid.
Hydro 40 Foam's chemical structure is believed to facilitate enhanced penetration of active drug ingredients into the skin with a cosmetically-elegant, non-greasy feel. Moreover, the foam can deliver humectants used to maintain epidermal moisture levels, and lipids needed to reduce long term trans-epidermal moisture loss, thereby helping to restore the natural skin barrier function.
