I received this as a sample from Carekate. This had me cracking up since “chicken skin” in Hawai’i refers to ‘goosebumps’.
Anyway, I don’t have KP so I was at a loss of what to do with this. I did have some bumps on my temples (product irritation) so I figured why the hell not?
Oh my gosh … this stuff feels so silky going on I really thought it would make my skin break out.
The next day my bumps were gone! So, uh, I don’t have KP but this is a wonderful product for reducing skin irritation, period. |

Rjez, first of all, where in the world have you gone hiding? LOL I have really missed you a lot, girl. So glad to see you back.
OMG, this sounds great. I get these chicken skin on my legs all the time. I need it so bad.
Thank you for your review. |

I'm wondering the same too! Rjez, how are your bootiful lashes doing? Are you still using CKLL?  |

Hi Rjez,
I wonder if i have KP. I have bumps on my arms and when i squeeze them, little cysts come out. Not sure if that is KP but if Carrie's product can make them disappear, i am all in. I am currently treating them with DHC's body lotion called AHA body silker but want better results.
Thanks for the review!
Kristen~ |

Hi everyone - been uber-busy at work with a relaunch of a new product.
Cherisse - shoot me an email to my home addy.
Lisey - I just posted something on 'For those of you using CareKate's Lush ....' on DIY. I skipped using and now I have a bald spot.
Kristen - I'm not really sure what KP looks like. In all honestly, I get it confused with rosacea. I'm also not really sure why it works - it felt really creamy going on. Probably best to ask Carekate. All I know is, it made my irritation bumps go away (and I'd had them for a few days so it wasn't going away soon) |

| Thanks Rjez. I might do a little googling then. I coulda sworn I knew the answer a couple months ago! |

| Hi everybody, yes, this is for keratosis pilaris. Usually they are small rough bumps that appear on the upper arms or thighs. The idea was to generate a similar formula as Dermadoctor "KP Duty", wich contains a mix of AHAs and urea (for moisturizing very dry skin). I've tried CK's version and found it to be very moisturizing. It didn'totally cure my keratosis pilaris but I believe that with some slight tweaking, this version should be there. KP duty tingles when you put it on; CKs doesn't. I don't know if this is the difference but I thought that it might have to do with pH. CK's version is a TON more moisturizing than KP Duty. I'd definitely recommend this as a good body moisturizer. One thing I am not wild about though about this product is the scent - I like clean fresh scents (or rose!) and this one is too floral/powdery for me - but something very easily fixable by our goddess, Carekate. |

| Does anyone know the ingredients for this? I just hope it doesn't have anything like emu oil in it.. because I do have eczema and this sounds like it would help.. |

How do I find the link to purchase this product? I did searches on carekate and keratosis, and this thread is the only one I pull up for some reason. Just tonight, I was giving my 13 y/o son a facial, because his cheeks have been dryish and red, and tiny bumps that dont develop into anything and dont seem to go away either. I am sure that this is what he has...
I would love to try carekates product, if i can figure out how to buy it.
thanks! |

La Vie is correct: only my "Bruise Balm" contains emu oil, I've stopped using it in all of my other recipes because others have reported having "issues" with it. |

Lisey, I am constantly on the lookout for all-natural creams/oils that can be used for my baby's eczema. For future reference for myself, does emu oil make the eczema worse? |

Send Carekate or MermaidGirl a PM. I really have been offline for a while and I don't know if Carekate's hotmail account is working. |
