I posted a picture of my leg a few weeks ago asking for keratosis advice. I bought a glycolic acid exfoliator stick (by the inkey list) and used it for about two weeks straight until it ran out. Didn't last long, but my skin tolerated it just fine.

I've now picked up their 10% urea moisturizer and started using that, and I'm seeing a noticeable improvement.

Thought I'd post a comparison pic for the community :)

Both pics taken are of the same leg, shaven, in the same exact same place, with flash. 2.5 weeks apart.

Always had crazy ass keratosis legs. Much more on my calves than thighs. Kind of bugs me as I hesitate to wear shorts even in warm weather.

I also bruise like an 85 year old and I'm pale enough that a concealer in the shade "cool ivory" was too dark for me. Old bug bites and small cuts and scrapes also leave very long lasting dark marks on me.

I've experimented with epilation for hair removal but read that shaving might be better for pores as it naturally exfoliates, so this is my shaven leg.

I've also used the Cerave SA Smoothing Cream and noticed no difference, and I've tried scrubbing.

So what would you recommend? What's my best bet?
