Flexitol is also very good for keratosis pilaris (red bumps on arms)

The hoof thread reminded me.

It basically contains a high percentage of urea which can dekeratinize the plugs.

A derm doctor friend told me this.

It's much cheaper and easier to get than lacHydrin, dermadoctor KP et al.

Kityan, the tube says to use it on adult skin only. Please don't use it on your children.

Have just bought myself some Flexitol having read this thread last week! Keen to see how quickly I'll see an improvement. My bumps aren't that noticeable but I can feel them. Love all the Mumsnet insider tips I seem to be picking up!

I've had KP on my neck for about 20 years. One little girl aged 3 told me it looked like houmus (houmous?) !!

I use an Avon exfoliator every day followed by a Scholl Heel Repair Cream & my skin has never felt less bumpy/unattractive/rough/pickable etc etc etc....

My confidence is up & my skin is glowing for the right reasons.

I tried Boots own version with 25% urea & whilst it worked, this new product is the best to date IME & I will be sticking to the Scholl one. Normally I refuse to go for brand names but this has won me over.
