My Keratosis Pilaris (Chicken Skin) Treatment

I've been a long-time sufferer of keratosis pilaris (KP) or commonly known as "chicken skin." It's quite ugly since it made me very conscious of my arms especially when I wear sleeveless or even short-sleeved tops. I tried all sorts of lotions and creams, but even though the bumps get smaller, they wouldn't go away. Here was a photo of my arm with the KP:

So I asked my dermatologist what treatment I can undergo so the KP will go away. She recommended nanotechnology peel with special components that will be suited for my very sensitive skin and at the same time slough off the excess skin that causes the bumps in my KP.

Like the other nanotechnology peels that I had before, there was no discomfort when I had the peel. There was no itchiness nor embarrassing stage of too much exfoliation days after the peel. I had 4 sessions of the peel every 2 weeks. My dermatologist also gave me Skin Perfecting Lotion as take home medicine. A week after the 4th session, this is a photo of my arm:

My dermatologist advised that to prevent recurrence of the keratosis pilaris, I should maintain on moisturizing soap, colloidal moisturizing lotion and Platinum SF700 capsules (my current glutathione capsules), and try to drink at least 8 glasses of water and refrain from drinking alcohol (since alcohol dries the skin which can worsen skin asthma and KP). I'm faithfully following her instructions and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my arms will continue to be this smooth. 

My verdict: Nanotechnology peel is an effective treatment for keratosis pilaris. Highly recommended!

Finally... An Oral Glutathione That Delivers Really Fast Skin Whitening Results!

So many oral glutathiones are out there in the market and the average person would probably be so confused on which one to try. Well, like them, I've tried so many and the latest one that I tried really took me by surprise. My cousin and I tried Platinum SF700 glutathione capsules last week. Let me tell you that I've had reservations on trying this out since it's not really cheap; my dermatologist sells this for PhP 2,500 and online sellers at sulit.com and multiply.com sell it for PhP 3,200 to PhP 3,500 pesos. Expensive, huh? But I went to several forums, inquired about it and had some positive feedback so I said, "What the heck, might as well try." And it was really worth it. After 1 week of starting my intake of Platinum SF700, there was significant glow and skin lightening. I read an article in my dermatologist's clinic FB page (CorDermSkinClinic), explaining why this Platinum SF700 is special - "nanotechnology delivery system." The glutathione particles in Platinum SF700 are able to get absorbed in the blood by 90% because of this nanotechnology delivery system. Oral glutathione with IV glutathione results! No needles, no pain! Yay! :)

My verdict: Will continue taking Platinum SF700. I highly recommend it especially to those who don't like needles and want faster skin lightening results.

Update: I just learned that my dermatologist's clinic sells this and her other products online (through FB and sulit.com) and delivers Free within Metro Manila. Now that's a good deal! No need for me to go to her clinic to get my gluta refill. Yay! :)
