5 Reasons You Can’t Get Rid of the Red Bumps on Your Arms and Legs

You've spent money on steroid creams, retinols, scrubs, and even pricey prescriptions. Yet the red bumps never go away. It's not your fault. Those products were never designed to fix keratosis pilaris (strawberry skin). Here's why every solution has failed and what finally clears it.
- You're using acne and anti-aging ingredients that aren't designed for keratin plugs
- Everything you try sits on the surface while KP forms deep inside follicles
- Physical scrubbing triggers your skin to produce even more keratin
1. Steroid Creams Only Mask the Problem
Topical steroids reduce inflammation temporarily, but they don't address the root cause of KP - keratin buildup in your hair follicles. The moment you stop using them, your bumps return exactly as they were before.
Strawberry targets the actual keratin plugs blocking your follicles with gentle enzymatic exfoliation that works 24/7, not just when applied.
2. Retinols Don't Fix KP
Maybe you tried retinol hoping it would smooth your bumps. But instead of clear skin, you got irritation — redness, dryness, and peeling. That's because retinols are made for wrinkles and acne, not for the keratin plugs that cause strawberry skin.
Instead of over-drying your skin, Strawberry gently clears keratin buildup while keeping your barrier healthy.
3. Surface Lotions Can't Penetrate Deep Enough
Those viral creams and drugstore lotions likeCeraVe SA Cream, AmLactin, or Eucerin Advanced Repairmight soften your skin temporarily, but KP bumps form deep within the hair follicle. Surface moisturizers can't reach where the problem actually starts.
Strawberry's triple-acid complex (glycolic, lactic, salicylic) penetrates into the follicle to break down keratin plugs. It works below the surface where ordinary lotions stop.
4. Prescriptions Don’t Fix KP
Dermatologists often prescribe tretinoin, ammonium lactate, or high-strength urea creams for strawberry skin. These treatments only work on the surface — softening skin or forcing turnover — but they never reach the keratin plugs clogging your follicles. That’s why the bumps always come back once treatment stops.
Strawberry restores your skin’s natural exfoliation rhythm so keratin clears out on its own. No forced turnover. No temporary results. Just smooth skin that lasts.
5. Scrubs Damage Skin and Make KP Worse
Scrubbing might feel like you're "buffing away" the bumps, but it only makes things worse. Harsh exfoliation causes micro-tears and irritation, which triggers your skin to produce even more keratin — making KP flare up instead of fade.
Instead of tearing at your skin, Strawberry combines a triple-acid complex with niacinamide (B3) to gently dissolve keratin plugs while soothing and hydrating your barrier. You get smooth, calm skin without the damage scrubs leave behind.
6. The Only Ingredients Clinically Proven to Clear KP
Every lotion, scrub, and prescription failed because they skipped the 3 ingredients science says actually work: glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. These acids dissolve keratin buildup, unclog follicles, and smooth your skin fast. Strawberry is built entirely on this research, which is why it works when everything else doesn’t.
