Get ready for your silkiest skin yet.

My best friend in middle school struggled with what she’d called “strawberry legs.” At the time, I hadn’t realized the pink pinpricks that speckled her skin, resemblant of strawberry seeds, were due to a condition officially known as keratosis pilaris (KP). In addition to redness, keratosis pilaris can result in excessive roughness, typically on the arms and legs, and tiny, raised bumps on the skin — hence its alternate nickname, “chicken skin.”

If you’ve struggled with the condition, this information is hardly news. Perhaps you’ve searched for a truly effective solution to no avail, as many others have, prior to discovering Kopari’s KP Bumps Be Gone Clarifying Body Scrub. According to numerous reviews from people with rough, bumpy skin, the $28 in-shower treatment is unparalleled in its effectiveness; even “life-changing,” according to one.

The Kopari KP Bumps Be Gone Clarifying Body Scrub is a smoothing, skin-sloughing formula that contains both chemical and physical exfoliators to render rough, bumpy skin significantly silkier. The twice-weekly treatment is formulated specifically to curb symptoms of keratosis pilaris, and targets underlying causes — key among them, “a buildup of keratin that blocks hair follicles,” dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman, MD, previously told InStyle.

Alpha hydroxy acids — specifically, glycolic and lactic acids — are the formula’s key chemical exfoliators, loosening dead and dull skin cells and excess keratin buildup from the skin’s surface. Included at relatively low concentrations, the ingredients pose little risk irritating sensitive skin or overdrying skin that’s already rough. Incidentally, lactic acid is also a humectant; in other words, it attracts moisture from the surrounding air and into the skin, where it imparts hydration. Fatty acid-rich jojoba oil, which imparts suppleness on contact, is also present in the formula.

Additionally, volcanic sand functions as the physical exfoliating component in Kopari’s scrub. A gentle yet effective skin resurfacer, it’s also known to clarify pores — and can, in turn, double down on smoother, more even-toned skin.

Shoppers, particularly those who’ve struggled with keratosis pilaris, swear Kopari’s scrub is a symptom-quelling superhero. According to one reviewer who has tried numerous products to treat bumpy skin, Kopari’s “magic” scrub smooths in a single use. Another reviewer says the scrub makes their skin “so soft,” and has eliminated “all bumps” on their arms and legs. Finally, another reviewer, who has dealt with keratosis pilaris for “over 30 years,” says Kopari’s scrub has rendered their skin “smooth” for “the first time ever.”

For velvety skin, fewer bumps, and overall improvement in keratosis pilaris symptoms, shop the Kopari KP Bumps Be Gone Clarifying Body Scrub for $28 — and snag similarly stellar skin-smoothers from Kopari, below.
