What the gurus are saying

This scrub balances mechanical and chemical exfoliation in a hydrating base, earning praise for spreading easily with a gentle grit that does not strip the skin or leave it tight. The glycolic and lactic acids work together to smooth rough texture and improve dull, discolored skin on elbows, knees, and hands without overdrying. Gurus suggest starting with twice weekly use in the shower and adjusting down if you are also using a leave-on treatment, since combining actives may cause irritation in sensitive skin.

"I really enjoyed the KP body scrub surprisingly."
All 3 takes from Dr Dray
Dermatologist Reviews Remedy KP Body Scrub & Moisturizer
"This product contains 7% glycolic acid, 3% lactic acid, and fine sucrose particles. It's also got some very hydrating ingredients, 26% glycerin, along with hyaluronic acid, urea, and squalane, an emollient. What you have here is a product that offers a combination of both mechanical and chemical exfoliation, but in a very hydrating base. I'm quite impressed with the overall texture and performance of this particular product. A lot of body scrubs are either too abrasive, too oily, difficult to spread on the skin, or very heavily scented. I like that this one is fragrance-free, spreads on the skin easily, and has the perfect grit for very gentle mechanical exfoliation without overdoing it. Because the formula contains such a high concentration of glycerin along with other humectants, it does not leave the skin feeling dry and squeaky clean or tight, which is an indication that the product has stripped your moisture barrier. [...] The exfoliating acids are glycolic and lactic acid, which are alpha hydroxy acids. Glycolic acid is smaller than lactic acid, so it penetrates a little bit more deeply. Lactic acid also penetrates the skin very well and is very hydrating, meaning it helps to improve water content in the skin. Together, these ingredients work well not just for keratosis pilaris, but for those dry, rough, discolored elbows, dry, flaky skin texture, and dull skin."

"If you are struggling with something like KP or keratosis pilaris, that rough, bumpy skin, you can incorporate a body scrub gently, just in the areas you need. I don't love scrubs in general because sometimes we overdo it with them, but if you are able to gently use a scrub, the brand Remedy makes a KP glycolic acid scrub."
Yay
"The remedy KP scrub is a little revelation. It's basically a huge amount of sucralose alongside glycerin which smooths everything out but also has like a slightly grainy texture to give a manual exfoliation. It's also got exfoliating acids in so a couple of times a week in the shower, this will just take away all of that KP, the chicken skin, razor bumps, all gone. I absolutely love this, and I love the fact that Remedy are taking what were traditional products like exfoliating scrubs, but reformulating them to be super gentle, yet in some ways more effective than their older counterparts. That has been a little revelation for me and I'm somebody that suffered with a lot of texture on the body and these products have just sorted that."

GREATEST NEW SKINCARE 2026 - 10/10 Skincare Favorites
"I'd say 50% better. Yeah, I love it. One of the first videos that I filmed on the channel that went viral was about KP keratosis pilaris the old chicken skin. I made so many recommendations in that video around using exfoliating acids alongside manual scrubs and stuff. This is all of that in one product. You don't need three or four products. This is all of it in one. Genuinely special. So if you have the texture on the body and you want to treat it really quickly in time for summer, get the Remedy KP Exfoliating Body Scrub. So so good. So inexpensive. But what I would say is twice a week, work it in on damp skin for 30 seconds, step away from the water, let it sit for a minute, rinse it off. Perfection. Absolute perfection."
Yay
"I would recommend using this up to two times a week in the shower. That's basically how I've been using it. And what I've noticed [...] is that not only does it improve the texture immediately of the skin on my body, but I've also noticed that my hands are a lot smoother. They're like baby soft afterwards. This [...] will do double duty on elbows, knees, legs, hands as well. I will say, [...] if you do this and you do the Remedy for body bumps leave-on lotion, maybe you get a little irritation, you do it less frequently. Maybe you can do it more frequently, but just tailor this to your skin type. Everyone has different degrees of sensitive skin. Whatever you can be consistent with is how you're going to get the best results."
