Keralyt 3% Salicylic Acid Gel - Exfoliating Moisturizing Skin Gel - Promotes Relief from Itchy, Redness, Dryness, Roughness, and Flakey Skin from Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, Dermatitis

I got this cream to combat ingrown hairs. I use an epilator, and no matter what hair removal method I’ve used, I always have gotten ingrown hairs and razor bumps between my waist and my knees, and a few here and there on my calves. I have tried numerous products and methods over the decades to exfoliate my skin to prevent this from happening, but most things don’t work except to use mineral oil first, then apply shaving cream (Art of Shaving or if you can’t afford that, then use Cremo). But I would still get some ingrown hairs and razor bumps. It would just be better than using no oil and cheap shaving cream or soap. So, I’ve never found a good solution. I also tried AmLactin lotion 12%. That helped, but still but enough. I also tried various acne products with 2% salicylic acid, but those were drying and ineffective. Tend Skin also didn’t work for ingrown hairs plus it’s expensive to use twice a day all over from my waist down. I saw this cream and decided to try it. This cream seems to be working!! I don’t even have to use it every day, and IT’S NOT DRYING!!!! About a year ago, I switched from shaving to epilating. This greatly reduced razor bumps, but the ingrown hairs got worse. I would pick them out, but I would damage my skin and leave scars. Over the last 43 years, I’ve accrued 5 large bumps that are scars from where I couldn’t get an ingrown hair out. They look like keloid scars to me. I’m only 52. I don’t want to keep putting these on my body, so I’ve stepped up my search for an exfoliation method that works for me. I don’t have the time to scrub my body from the waist down with a loofah or dry brush every other day. Plus, whenI tried that with a loofah, it didn’t seem to work irritated my skin, plus it kind of hurt while I did it. The loofah is too tough on that delicate skin. I’ve been epilating and using tweezers to pluck out hairs that are too short for the epilator over the last week or so while I have been using this cream. This cream seems very promising so far!!! I have experienced fewer ingrown hairs, and I haven’t used this cream every day. My only gripe is that while applying the cream to my body from the waist down, there is a strong offensive odor after a few minutes. It nauseates me just a little bit. However, the odor dissipates after applying the cream. It might need from having the jar open while I’m ailing the cream. The other thing is that this cream doesn’t seem to absorb super well. It absorbs. I don’t know how to explain it. Maybe I’m putting too much on my calves. I have very dry skin on my calves, and I’m wondering if this brand will help that. It’s funny… I’ve been using an epilator (Braun Silk-épil 9 Flex) for about a year, and while the hair hasn’t grown back finer, in many places, it’s much sparser! Or perhaps what’s happening is that phenomenon about how the hair grows in three cycles, so maybe I’m on point with my timing, finally, because my legs have been mostly hair-free for about five days. Usually, I would epilate twice a week. However, I’ve taken to running the epilator every other day to get stray hairs right away. All that to say I’m not sure what is causing this effect, but I’m pretty sure the cream is really preventing ingrown hairs. I still have some, but there are much fewer of them. Plus, a lot of them existed before I began using this cream this last week. In addition, since using this cream, I haven’t developed any new razor bumps!! I don’t know how well this works for exfoliating rough or scaly skin because I don’t suffer from that condition. However, I’ve been removing my hair for the last 43 years, and this is the best cream for preventing ingrown hairs and bumps as well as clarifying and softening the skin: my skin in my bikini area and upper thighs (that’s where I focus the application) is amazingly soft from using this cream!! My biggest challenge now is allowing the hair to grow out instead of trying to pluck out individual hairs that I can see under the skin growing in. I have very light skin, and I often can see the hair under the surface of the skin, and then I get tempted to try to dig out because I’m afraid it will turn into—or already is—an ingrown hair. I wonder if other people have experience with this. I really hope that other people will share their experiences with this cream and ingrown hairs. Bottom line: so far, it’s very promising. I’ll update in a month or two.

I can't say enough great things about this product. I was suffering from some sort of scalp rash that was both itchy and painful, with dandruff, likely from my Lupus but dermatologists were unable to give me a clear answer as to what was going on. I had tried ketoconazole shampoo and topical steroids for months with no relief. Finally a dermatologist recommended this shampoo to me. She told me to rub it into my scalp and let it sit for 30 minutes every single day before washing it out for 3 weeks. I am only on week 2 and I have already had a HUGE improvement in the rash and so much relief to my scalp. While I still have the dandruff and itching occasionally, it is a night and day difference from what I was previously suffering. This shampoo also does not appear to dry my hair out and actually leaves it feeling fairly soft and easy to comb through. It has a clean scent to it and does not leave my hair smelling bad or chemically like other shampoos. I am so thankful for this product and will always have it on hand.

Only thing I have found to work to get rid of pesky bumps from product build up

Good quality as described

Keralyt was recommended for my scalp when prescription shampoo wasn't completely effective. I was completely surprised with the results. After the first shampoo my scalp had completely stopped itching. I use Keralyt several times a week with great results.

I loved the process. The bottle comes with an applicator tip, so you can apply some to any special spots that are bugging you. You do that first, then get the water right for your shower and put out your towel and clean clothes and even start the coffee. This gives the time for the full strength medication to work on your special places. Then, wet your hair and shampoo. I shampoo twice and on the 2nd go round, when I have a full head of bubbly, I use my scalp brush to comb all my hair into a pile on my head. With wet hands be certain there is ZERO shampoo sliding down towards your eyes and proceed to wash the rest of yourself. When you are 1/2 way done with your body, rinse your hair thoroughly and comb through your conditioner and then proceed with the other half of your body. This should give you the conditioning time. Just remember, unless you are using a scalp treatment, apply conditioner to your hair and NOT your scalp. Comb through with a big tooth comb and rinse thoroughly. I use that big comb to gently detangle and apply conditioner and again when rinsing to gently finish detailing. Be patient & gentle with your hair and scalp.

I've been using this now for 6 days (5 consecutive) and this stuff WORKS! I've had sores on my scalp and beard and dandruff for months now and it has gotten much, much better already. I use as follows: 1. Wet my hair and beard. 2. Shake bottle. 3 Rub into wet hair and beard and then massage in for about 30 seconds each with one of those silicone scalp massagers. 4. Leave on 10 minutes and then rinse out in the shower. Will definitely buy this again!

I got the Keralyt 5 shampoo and it has been so nice to have relief from my scalp issues! I have folliculitis from my hair being broken down to the roots (horrible hair colorist), and for some reason also got thick dry scales on my scalp. This is the first relief I’ve had from these conditions in a year or more!
