Keratosis pilaris

I have done quite a bit of research and came to know about AHA and BHA. Which products contain glycolic acids and lactic acids (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA). cheap alternatives would be appreciated. And if white sugar and coconut oil are mixed, can they do the job?

Greetings. Very frankly i haven't heard of use of white sugar and coconut oil for kp s. Use a good moisturiser in the day time and apply a topical retinoid cream- under prescription, at night. I guess this should help. In any case see a qualified dermatologist near you for further treatment. Warm regards.
