Customer reviews of Vuret Keratosis Pilaris Cream
Arms are actually smooth
I've had chicken-skin arms my whole life. Within two weeks they felt softer and by week eight the bumps were much flatter. I use it right after the shower.
Stings slightly if applied right after shaving
Stung a bit the first time when I applied immediately after shaving my arms, so now I wait a few hours or apply on alternate days. Bumps are much flatter and less red.
Better than every OTC lotion I tried
I've tried the drugstore urea and lactic acid lotions. This combination works noticeably better for me. Now on the maintenance cream.
Smoother, redness fades gradually
Texture improved dramatically within two weeks. Red dots take longer to fade than the bumps, but skin is noticeably softer to the touch. Process was easy.
Thighs completely smooth now
Use it on my thighs mostly. Some light dryness at first so I put a basic lotion on top. Two months in, the bumps are completely gone. Extremely happy.
Smooth results, just stick with maintenance
Worked exceptionally well. When I stopped completely for three weeks the roughness started creeping back, so I restarted on the gentler maintenance routine and it's stayed smooth.
Sleeveless again
Small thing but I wore a tank top this summer without thinking about it. Took about two months.
Who it's for
- Keratosis pilaris on arms, thighs or buttocks
- People whose OTC lotions stopped helping
Consider something else if…
- KP tends to return when treatment stops — plan for maintenance.
