Too strong for face
Potentially irritating citrus extracts

What the gurus are saying

This cream earns strong praise for treating keratosis pilaris and softening rough bumpy skin, especially on elbows, knees, hands and feet. However, it's considered too strong for facial use, and it does contain citrus and fruit extracts that may cause irritation for those with sensitive skin, so a patch test first is worth considering.

"Gold Bond's Rough and Bumpy Moisturizing Cream in that gold jar are so nice. I love that one a lot. That one really can soften up your arms. Don't go scrubbing and using a scrubber or brush or those harsh cloths to wipe away your KP. Just trust your moisturizers with those chemical exfoliants to help soften those bumps instead."

"Gold Bond's amazing for the body and for really thick skin on the elbows, the knees, the hands and feet, especially when it has urea in it or PHAs, AHAs, BHAs. The Rough and Bumpy Gold Bond is really good, but it's a little too strong for the face. From a lot of my patients with sensitive skin, it could cause too much of an effect in exfoliating and lead to irritant contact dermatitis."

"This rough and bumpy skin cream from Gold Bond has gluconolactone and urea. Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid that is very hydrating. It also has urea, which is another name for hydroxy Apple urea, and it has petrolatum, one of my favorite ingredients for reducing water loss and aiding in barrier recovery. Now this does have citrus extract and fruit extracts, which potentially could be irritating."
