Answer 1

keratosis pilaris is something that is sort of hard to treat. It doesn't usually happen in the face but more of the arms and legs. Are you sure it's not acne you are seeing n your face? Any hoo I would recommend exfoliating the area with a lactic acid or glycolic acid and then use a moisturizer on your face. Try Dermalogica products. I am an Facialist and iv'e found that Dermalogica is so gentle that it helps because it doesn't irritate the problem area.

If you have it on your arms and such I would try the body hydrating cream because the hydroxy acids will help exfoliate and the plant oils hydrate the skin.

For your face I would try the gentle cream exfoliant because it has Alpha hydroxy Lactic Acid, beta hydroxy Salicylic Acid.
