Bumpy Skin Breakthrough: Unexpected Help for Keratosis Pilaris

If you’ve ever run your hand over your upper arms, thighs or butt and felt tiny rough bumps, you’re not alone. Chances are, you’re one of the many people with Keratosis Pilaris (or KP). Often nicknamed “chicken skin,” KP is a common skin condition caused by a buildup of keratin — a protein that protects your skin — which ends up clogging hair follicles and creating that dry, bumpy texture.

It’s totally harmless, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. And if you’ve tried product after product with no real results, we get it — finding something that works can feel impossible.

So, how on earth can a heel cream help?

Here’s the secret: Dermelive 40% Urea Heel Cream was created to tackle some of the toughest, driest skin — like cracked heels. But the very ingredients that make it so effective on feet also make it a quiet achiever for Keratosis Pilaris.

Let’s break it down:

✔ Urea (40%) – A superstar ingredient that exfoliates dead skin cells and draws moisture into the skin
✔ Glycolic Acid – A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps renew the skin’s surface
✔ Glycerin – A powerful humectant that keeps the skin hydrated and soft
✔ Tea Tree Oil – Known for its calming, anti-inflammatory benefits, especially on irritated skin

Together, these ingredients help to smooth bumps, soften rough patches and support healthier skin texture over time.

And don’t just take our word for it — one of our customers, Nessa, shared:
“Your cream helped my keratosis pilaris improve after years of finding a treatment.”

We love that our cream, originally created for feet, is now helping people feel more confident in their own skin — wherever KP strikes.

If you’ve been struggling with rough, bumpy skin for years, give Dermelive a go. Your skin will thank you.
