keratosis pilaris

I have found that the best "treatment" for keratosis pilaris (see Wikipedia for details of this condition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratosis_pilaris) is washing with an exfoliating soap and moisturizing well, but not with too much think lotion. I really like Burt's Bees peppermint shower soap alternated with Burt's Bees citrus spice exfoliating soap (1 bar of one kind used up then use the other kind). Jergens skin renewal lotion is really good because it has a mild acid in it that helps slough off the dead skin that clogs up your pores. The redness is more difficult to get rid of but Jergens natural glow helps hide it by giving you a pretty good, subtle fake tan. I have tried the expensive, doctor prescribed creams and ointments and they did not help at all.
