Urea, which is found in lots of creams and moisturizers, is an excellent product for softening the skin. I think it works by locking water into the skin, which makes it feel softer. Urea is used in lots of cosmetic products but it's better to try and find a high percentage cream with over 20% urea, if you want to treat your KP. Mind you, as with all products recommended on this site, some work well and others don't. I have extremely dry skin associated with KP so urea helps slightly for my condition but I don't know if it works for everyone. Yet another case of 'try and see what happens'.
