Salicylic Acid Treatments for Keratosis Pilaris What It Is: Salicylic acid (SA) is a mainstay acne treatment for its ability to exfoliate and turn over dead cells quickly. The skin that forms a KP bump is similar to a pimple (albeit thicker); thus, SA-based creams and cleansers are effective and widely used for treating KP. (Try CeraVe SA Renewing Lotion, $14.99).
Who Should Use It: Those who experience both KP and acne can especially benefit from SA treatments. They're also worth trying if alpha hydroxy acids, such as lactic and glycolic acids, don't work for you.
