Both dds have Keratosis Pilaris on their faces, dd2 (nearly 10) to a much greater extent than dd1.
I have read myself silly on the Internet but as most of the advice is for KP on the body, and for adults, I am pretty much trying to fix this with very careful trial and error at the moment.
It is starting to upset her, and as you can see from the photos is pretty noticeable.
For the last couple of weeks I have been using Cerave products on her face, the moisturising wash twice a day and the renewing lotion at night.
In the mornings I put the Body Shop Aloe Vera night cream on, and then LaRoche Posay anthelios factor 50 over the top.
Twice a week I very gently use the Olay facial swirly brush doohickey on her.
The only time in the past three year when it has completely cleared is a two week camping trip in Wales where she got lots of sun (didn't get burnt), sea, sand etc etc exposure.
Lots of sites suggest urea moisturising products. We have tried Eurcin 5% moisturiser to no effect. I have Aldi's 10% urea foot cream sitting here but am understandably nervous about sticking it on a child's face. I've been putting it on my hands for the past few days now and I do have the softest hands I've had in a very long time and no adverse skin irritation.
Anything else I can do?
