5.0 out of 5 starsKeratosis Pilaris sufferers, you need this!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2018
This stuff is great. I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and thighs, and it's really bad in the winter, when my skin is dryer. I've used this scrub twice a week for the last 3 weeks now, and there is a VERY noticeable difference in the texture of my skin. The backs and sides of my thighs are soft and smooth for probably the first time since I've been an adult. My arms have cleared up a ton as well. I'm very impressed with this scrub and I'll be buying it again and again!
