Obagi Medical Kèraphine Body Smoothing Lotion, 6.7 Fl Oz

I’m surprised that this doesn’t have all 5 star reviews. This product is super expensive, but in my experience, you get what you pay for. I have tried 4-5 kp creams and this is by far the best! It literally erased all of the bumps on my arms within just a few days. Totally worth the money in my opinion.

I had given up trying to get rid of the bumps on my arms but then saw a review for this and thought why not... and almost overnight the bumps almost completely went away! As soon as I stopped using it though, they came back so I’ll need to remind myself to use it a few times a week at least :)

I'm excited to try the Obagi KeraPhine Body Smoothing Lotion especially as we are fans of Obagi products and have used their facial cleansers and moisturizers in the past. However, it is VERY pricey, so I have purchased their products sparingly. As a teen, I suffered from keratosis pilaris. It is a very common condition which involves bumpy skin often along the back of both upper arms. My mom suffered from it too. And my tween has it. It's something that caused a great deal of self-consciousness and embarrassment and I stayed away from sleeveless shirts as a result. My high school prom photo had me wearing a very ugly bolero to cover up my arms since my spaghetti strap gown alone did not. But keratosis pilaris is something that you grow out of around the age of 30 and I thankfully no longer have this issue. The Obagi KeraPhine body lotion is supposed to address this very issue, and the glycolic acid and ammonium lactate ingredients in it are specifically the components recommended by dermatologist to combat the sandpapery skin condition. Some dermatologists also recommend using urea, salicylic acid, vitamin D, retinoids, or steroid creams. I like that the Obagi product doesn't contain steroids or retinoids as I (and many others) have had sensitivity and adverse reactions to these harsh additives and certainly wouldn't want to use it over a large swath of my body like both upper arms or on my daughter in large amounts for what essentially is a purely cosmetic issue.The Obagi lotion doesn't have much of a noticeable scent and goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly like most lotions, without the need for much rubbing in. However, a minute later, I did notice a slight tackiness or stickiness on the surface of my hand from the lotion. But I ignored it and within 10 minutes I've noticed that even that tackiness eventually absorbed and mostly disappeared. I've taken photos of the bumpy skin on the back of my daughter's arm.

I have dry, flakey skin on my legs, specifically my shins. This cream eliminates the flakes completely when used consistently.
