i am new to posting but i found this site 1 or 2 yrs ago when i was so desperate about what was happening to me and i've decided to contribute something that i just found that is working for me.

from childhood i've always had a very mild case of kp, i realize this now but had no idea as a kid what was this on backs arms. so 4-yrs ago it started to be really sever, i don't know why, bumps everywhere on my upper arm and bumps so deep under my skin they hurt and irritated me. from these i had scarring and redness and bumps that persisted. i've been trying so many things from my diet to keeping my 'products' to a minimum and natural.

This past year, i found using a body polish helped mildly clear my skin, esp. helping the deep bumps that were more painful and caused scarring. over time i noticed less and less serious bumps. i used EO body polish. i am super sensitive to any new 'product' and this product never caused a reaction for me.

recently, as the more serious, deep breakouts diminished I started to consider if i could reduce the scars and redness these bumps had left me with. i tried many skin lighteners, i think for 2yrs i've been experimenting. recently i tried PCA pigment gel. in one month (one bottle) the darkness of my scars improved and starting to see some clearing of skin. i read on the manuf. website it is recommended using w/ their c-strength cream/lotion for better results..so i said why not. on my second bottle of pigment gel and my first c-strength 15% w/ 5% vit-e. i can't believe how smooth & clear my skin has become..for 3-yrs i wore sleeves down to my elbows to hide my scarring and continuous bumps and poor textured skin..and for the last two days i've been able to go into public w/ exposed arms. they are so smooth and even skin. what i believe is the c-strength 15% lotion is producing clear and smooth skin while reducing the mottled redness and bumps.

i only write this because i know i've read posts before of people who, like me, were looking for solutions; spending tons of money & time on things that didn't work too well. i wanted to share my version because it may help someone. i still have a way to go before i am back to what i knew as 'normal' but from what i've been through to now i can't believe i have lived 3-yrs this way without feeling hope to stop what was happening. i didn't feel i had any control of this condition. i forgot what it was like to feel confident or even just to be able to wear short sleeves! something so simple that i used to take for granted.

i don't know if i will be 100% but today i see the fresh pinkness and clarity of my skin that i've missed for years..i remember from before what my skin was and it is so much the same as i see it right now.

i am in a way celebrating..so sorry for going on this long. i hope this can help someone. the product is not 'natural' as some may like but it is also not over-priced. i use the PCA lotions 2x's per day and i scrub 3-5x's per week..I had to change my body scrub to Jason coco butter scrub because local store discontinued EO and it is less expensive, that is good.
ENJOY the summer! 107d these days where i live..and best part i was able to wear a short sleeve shirt
