New Product, Gold Bond Rough and Bumpy Skin Cream

BeautyAddiction, you're thinking of Keratosis Pilaris (KP) the skin condition where excess keratin traps the hair follicle in the skins pores and causes the bumpy skin. Harmless but annoying. Over the counter lotion Carmol 10 (10% Urea) was what I used for years to keep my KP under control but of course something works and they discontinue it!
Hydroxyethyl Urea is in the new GB cream, close enough for me to try it.

I have seen the ads and wanted to try it. Our WM doesn't have it yet or I couldn't find it. It is on amazon, but about $5 higher than it is in the stores (according to reviews).

Since I live in the boonies, I might spend the extra and buy it anyway.

I've got KP on my arms and I hate it. I've had it all my life. My dad had it and my brother had it too.

Mima, Target has it and they are offering free s/h through x-mas.

I bought a tub of this because Target had it on sale, plus there was an extra percentage off in Cartwheel and I had a coupon so I got it for next to nothing.

I have KP on the back of my upper arms. I use and have had great success with Amlactin lotion but I figured if I can find something as effective as Amlactin for cheaper, I'd give it a shot. Amlactin is $13.99 and the tube isn't as big.

I've not tried the GB yet because I still have some Amlactin left. The only thing I don't like about the GB is the fact that it's in a tub I will have to keep sticking my fingers in to dig out.

Thank you for the info. No Target here either. I might just order it off Amazon.

When I buy something in a tub, I scoop some out with a knife or spoon (sanitized from the dishwasher) and put it in a smaller container. I use that up and then wash it and refill it. That way bacteria doesn't grow in it.

For some reason I don't mind smearing bacteria all over my arms and legs, but I cringe when I do it to my face. I have the 4 oz Philosophy Miracle Worker which lasts a long time for me and every time I use it I cringe. Why don't they put all these products in tubes and keep us all happy?
