Understanding Strawberry Skin: What Causes Keratosis Pilaris and How to Treat It

If you notice small, rough bumps or dark dots on your arms, thighs, or legs, you are likely experiencing Keratosis Pilaris (KP), commonly referred to as "strawberry skin".

Why Does It Happen?

Keratosis Pilaris occurs when dead skin cells and excess keratin build up inside hair follicles, creating tiny rough plugs. Lack of hydration and buildup make the bumps feel rough and look more noticeable.

The Proven Solution: Chemical Exfoliation + Deep Moisture

  • 10% Urea: Urea is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that dissolves tough, thickened keratin while pulling deep moisture into the skin.
  • 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Oil-soluble BHA penetrates deep into the follicle pore to dissolve trapped debris and smooth bumpy texture.

Our Smooth Skin Body Lotion combines both ingredients in optimal concentrations for noticeable smoothing in just 2 weeks.
