*Here it is: MY TOP 5 (well actually 6) products to treat KP.* Please watch the full video as I explain how to choose products that will work best for KP, the must have ingredient for all KP skincare routines and my top 5 recommended KP products. Also bare in mind these products are all drugstore or online products that you don't need a prescription for. (KP is a chronic condition and for severe or resistant cases you may require prescription medication). Thank you all for the views on my previous videos. I'm so pleased you found them educational. Let me know what products are you using and how you are getting on with them. The ingredients in the *CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser (UK)* and *CeraVe SA body wash (US)* are almost identical except for 2 ingredients. The US version also contains corn oil and cholecalciferol (vitamin D). You may use either for KP. :- *Any questions are welcome - as usual* 😊

[@cheyrollexcell953]

Good afternoon Doc Thank you for this information on Kp. Can I use all 3 CeraVe products at the same time?

[@DrSimiAdedeji]

Hi, You're welcome. Yes you can especially if you are using them on skin other than your face because the skin is generally thicker. I would start with the cleanser and SA cream and then add in the retinol if you are not seeing enough results after about 4 weeks. i would also introduce the retinol gradually using it 2-3 times a week initially to start with. If you start to get irritation such as flaking of the skin, dryness or redness from using the retinol, (this is an acclimatisation period) I would cut down to once or twice a week and gradually build up from there. On the face, I would start with the cleanser in the morning and the retinol at night.

@@DrSimiAdedeji thank you so much for responding, I have already started with the sa cream a few days ago after watching your first video on Kp,I will try the other products and update you on my results.

@@DrSimiAdedeji I'm not only enjoying your content, I'm learning a lot!!!

Stay strong and awesome

@@wassermelonification Thank you for your support! I'm so sorry to hear that you are also experiencing racism. It's terrible that even in this day and age, so many people continue to be discriminated against, not just because of race , colour ethnicity but also because of gender, sexual preferences, age, disability and more. It's important for us all to share stories to raise awareness and to support others who may not be brave enough to stand up and speak out against it.

[@fatimagerman2539]

You are a gift! I am 50. Struggled with eczema since senior year of high school. My mom never really spoke of such things and I found out much later in life that she struggled with it as well as many family members. Long story short we didn’t have the money or knowledge to do more than cover up and only see the doc for major flare ups. No discussion about triggers, or products to avoid in between. I don’t have a college ring because I was too embarrassed to stick out my hand to try rings on in public. People would flinch or look at my hands , arms and neck with pity. I was well in my 40s with good insurance and a thought to start self care. I am doing well but wish I had black women who were dermatologist to really see and understand. A slew or white men up until my 40s. I am actually still struggling to find one here that isn’t booked out months in advance. I want to focus on my face. You thrilled my by mentioning the light patches in another video. Everyone focuses on hyperpigmentation. I have some of the opposite that I want to stop covering. Anyway, SO happy you are in this space. Will share with my family. Your skin is gorgeous!

I definetly see a difference. The bumbs are gone and the dark spots also almost faded. ^^ For anyone who wants to know: I used the products every second day or third day (mostly in the evening) :) + I moisturized my legs everyday.

I'm new to your channel and I love it! Thank you for being so comprehensive and straightforward. This video is really helpful. Not sure if you already covered this in a different video, but I'd love to see a video on "black skin myths". Speaking from my own experience, I'm mixed race (black, indian, chinese) and primarily have African features. I usually get my eyebrows waxed (pre-COVID) and once after my skin turned red after waxing, my esthetician commented "You have such thin skin for a black person!" 🙄 What? I'm sure she was trying to cover her shoddy work, but it's not the first time I've heard that. I have combination to dry, sensitive skin and supposedly people think black people don't have that? Or our skin is "tougher"? Which of course is problematic. My esthetician is Indian, I live in the Caribbean, where POCs say racist statements all the time and not even realize it. So hoping you can address that. Looking forward to bingeing all your videos lol.

Same. Never knew it actually had a name. I always referred to it as butt rash.

I also dont go swimming or wear anything that will expose my butt. I'm in Ghana and I hope I get the rest of the products

Thank so much for your videos Dr Simi. I wish you were in Atlanta. I’d be your number one patient. I’ve suffered from KP for so long. I’m 35, African American and have hidden my legs from the world since I was a teenager. I dream of wearing certain fashions that I’ve never had the opportunity to wear such as a dress or even shorts. I also had chicken pox when I was 7. I’ve always thought it was old scars until recently when I found out I suffered from Hyperpigmentation and KP. The dermatologist wasn’t as near as detailed as you’ve been but I’m still appreciative. I’m going to purchase the items tomorrow and keep you posted on the out come. I’m thankful and blessed to have legs but I’m so ashamed of how they looked. This bothered me heavily for so many years. My self esteem isn’t near to the level it should be because of my legs. I’m not complaining though I just wish I could wear a dress and not feel self conscious about my legs. Thanks for all you do😀

[@DrSimiAdedeji]

Hi. Thank you for you lovely comment and also for sharing your experience! KP is classed as a cosmetic condition but the level of distress it can cause is significant. You shouldn't be ashamed of how your legs look. KP is often more noticeable to you than to other people. You can minimise the appearance of KP and hyperpigmentation and chicken pox scars are treatable too. Please do keep me posted on how you get on. Here is one way in which you could combine the products in your skincare routine. Note: you do not have to use all the products. If you are going for one product only, start with a leave-on product such as the SA smoothing cream which will be more effective than the cleanser because it remains in contact with your skin for longer. *AM* -CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser OR Touch KP Exfoliating body wash (you can swap out either of the above for Necessaire: The Body Exfoliator 1-2 times a week if you wish to) -CeraVe SA Smoothing cream -Sunscreen *PM* -CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum OR Paula's choice 1% retinol treatment (starting 2-3 times a week and building up slowly) Hope this helps!!

Can you please tell me in what order to apply ?! Because I don’t want to mess up my skin even more please! And love your videos ❤️

thank you so much!! i got a lotion with 12% lactic acid. i haven't really seen a BIG difference. Some days it looks good, some days they look horid. I'll definitely check out one of the cleansers you recommended. You're a bigger help than my physician, he just told me to srub it with my loofa and it'll go away but for me that just made it irritated. Thank you again!!

[@binxbugarin7022]

Oh gosh! Thank you so much for these advises. I have been trying to lessen my KP (I hve it on my upper arms and thighs as well a bit on my lower back). I’m gonna try this! Thnks again!

[@ondonaomie8672]

Can you please talk about the inner thighs (bump as well as hyperpigmentation ) especially for sensitive skin and heavy people after pregnancy

Omg yes, I am incredibly insecure about hyperpigmentation in between my thighs. And I've tried everything.

Weight has nothing to with it. I am in recovery from anorexia, when I was at 79.3 pounds (keep in mind I'm 5 foot 4) i still had hyper pigmentation.

[@Dithering_MK]

Hi Dr. Simi. Thank you for the wonderful explanation--it was very helpful. Unfortunately, these products are not available where I live. The closest product I have found which contains salicylic acid, and is available to me is the Innisfree Bija range. Do you have any opinions on that range?

[@koramarshall6842]

@@anmolsingh9283 for me it has helped with the dry skin. But the trick is to layer moisturiser with an oil. I still have the kp. I'm looking into having laser.

[@sashamalhotra5186]

Hi, your videos are really informative and safe us from chaos of understanding the problem in depth ! Thank you so much 😊 Just wanted to know if ordinary products like salicylic acid & glycolic acid 7% solution can be good options as you mentioned these ingredients in video . Video suggestion: ingrown hair & skincare regime for smoother skin

[@DrSimiAdedeji]

Hi Sasha, You're welcome! Really pleased that you find my video informative and thank you for the video suggestion! Yes, The Ordinary salicylic acid and glycolic acid can help with KP. If I had to choose one of these I would go with the Salicylic acid because it will exfoliate the skin's surface AND exfoliate inside the pore. Of course you can use them both but for KP, my preference is for one product that contains both an AHA and a BHA as well as moisturising agents.

[@jg-ts3pb]

another great video thank u! when using the cerave body cleanser and body washes in general do you recommend using body loofas/exfoliating gloves? even if you do it gently?

[@DrSimiAdedeji]

You're welcome! I usually don't recommend physical exfoliants in skin care especially for the face because of the risk of causing hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. Exfoliating gloves/loofahs when used incorrectly or even correctly but on sensitive or darker skin types can also cause hyperpigmentation. Of course, not every person who uses a loofah will have this problem and many people with darker skin tones use loofahs and exfoliating gloves with no problem. I general prefer the gentler action of chemical exfoliants to "dissolve" the glue that holds the dead skin cells in place, without irritating the skin. If you are going to use an exfoliating brush or loofah, use it gently and stop using it if you start to notice it is causing hyperpigmentation.

[@agnes8679]

I love this video and confirms that my new skin care routine will work. I always had amazingly soft skin in my teens and 20's, but in my 30's I've developed KP. For the past few weeks I've been using a salicylic acid serum with vitamin C, a salicylic acid exfoliating cream for the shower, and I've been mechanically exfoliating with a sponge. I mosturize daily, but I don't exfoliate daily, but a few times a week. I'm already noticing quite an improvement, although I still see little dots but they're not bumpy anymore but possibly more like a left over scar that hopefully will fade.

[@user-eu3op7or6v]

Love you & your Chanel so much! Thanks for all the info it’s so helpful!! 😃💗💗💗

[@anonymous6594]

This is the best KP video on KZbin. I was just watching a video by the ADA and they provided the following KP tips. 1. Keep baths and showers short 5-10 minutes. 2. Use a mild, fragrance- free cleanser 3. Gently exfoliate (AHA, BHA, Retinoid, or Urea) skin once a week 4. Use thick moisturizer on your skin. Look for moisturizers that have urea or lactic acid in them. I personally alternate between lactic, urea, and retinoid body lotions.
