I can't believe I found a web site that I'd never seen before. Kat Leverette is an aesthetician to the stars with her own clinic in California. Her site offers quite a bit of useful information that may be of use to everyone, especially people of African-American, Hispanic, and Asian ethnicities. Hope this helps!!!

Well, I guess this sums up the Sulfur Soap, benzoyl peroxide and the brush. These are the three things that have worked so well for me. Thanks for the post.

You're welcome! I'm hoping to pick up some sulfur soap, benzoyl peroxide, and something to exfoliate with after work tomorrow. How well does it work for you? Are you a woman of color? i'm interested in seeing how well it works for someone with a similar skin type? How extensive is your KP? Mine is widespread: Arms, torso, buttocks, legs....seemingly everywhere! I want to wear shorts SO badly by April!!!!

I know what you mean about the shorts. After I had my Daughter it spread all over my legs really bad. To be honest the S. Soap is the only thing that has ever helped me. I ordered more and just recieved my 12 pk. the other day. I have always had KP(since early teens) but not bad at all. Just on the backs of my arms and a little bit on my legs, it was really mild. I am white, I guess fair skin but I do tan really well and I gave that up because I felt it looked even worse. I asked my Doc about the soap and he said to try it and to use a stiff brush( on my legs and arms). Don't know if I could use it on mt torso. It took some getting used to but my bumps were gone w/in 2 wks. Then I was left w/ the red dots. I tried other things to lighten but they did not work. So someone posted about the Oxy, it has lightened alot. My legs look pretty normal now but I can still see it a little, my husband says I'm crazy.I am happy w/ the Oxy results and still do this regimen daily. If you use the Oxy use a good moisturizer so you don't get dry.
