Keratosis pilaris is a very common dermatological disease. The ethiopathogenesis of the above genodermatosis is not fully understood. Currently, there are few ef f ective treatment options. Material and methods: The study presents a case of keratosis pilaris. A 30 years old female came to the beauty salon for advice on how to effectively alleviate the symptoms of keratosis pilaris. The patient compared the Dead Sea salt and mud peeling with addition of argan oil and linseed oil ointment, enzyme peeling and cream for sensitive and very dry skin, dry brushing and soothing gel with aloe, dry brushing and natural wax, cream with 10% urea.Results: The survey showed that the most ef f ective method of alleviating the symptoms of keratosis pilaris is the regular use of enzyme peeling and a cream for sensitive and very dry skin. Corneometric measurement conf i rmed the ef f ectiveness of this method. According to corneometric measurements, the best ef f ect of improving skin hydration was achieved after applying the cream with 10% urea.Conclusion: Systematic use of enzyme peeling and cream for sensitive and very dry skin is a non-invasive, safe method that can be done at home. Presumably, it can be used interchangeably with cream with 10% urea.
