Has anyone improved arm bumps with glycolic acid?

I’ve had bad keratosis pilaris since puberty. My arms are the worst- my pores get so clogged with keratin and hair follicles and they get so red and bumpy. I also have a skin picking habit which is encouraged by the consistent bumps.

I’ve tried Amlactin (12% lactic acid) constantly for years and have been using the First Aid Beauty bump eraser scrub and AHA lotion for a few months. They might make my skin feel softer but the actual bumps never go away with anything I try :(

I’ve been getting lots of videos pop up on my fyp page on Tiktok praising the Glycolic Acid toner from The Ordinary for “curing” their kp bumps along with many supportive comments. Is the hype I’m seeing there earned? I’ve practically given up hope on getting rid of the bumps but if others have had great success with it I’m willing to try.

2024/5/4 Edited to

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common skin condition characterized by small, red bumps typically found on the arms, thighs, and cheeks. Various treatments are available, ranging from exfoliating agents to moisturizing creams. Glycolic acid, a popular alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), is known for its exfoliating properties, which can help remove dead skin cells and unclog hair follicles. Users have shared positive experiences with glycolic acid toners, leading many to wonder if this ingredient could be a game-changer for managing KP. Many dermatologists recommend combining glycolic acid with other gentle exfoliants for better results. Regular use of glycolic acid formulations may lead to smoother skin over time. Alongside an effective skincare routine, maintaining hydration and using sunscreen are also essential, as AHAs may increase sun sensitivity. If you're looking to try glycolic acid for treating KP, consider starting with a patch test and gradually introducing it into your skincare regimen for the best outcomes.
