Discover smoother, softer skin with CETAPHIL Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream, specially formulated to gently exfoliate and intensely hydrate dry, textured, and uneven skin. Whether you struggle with keratosis pilaris, dry patches, or bumpy skin on your arms, legs, or body, this clinically tested, dermatologist-recommended formula provides visible results — even after just one use.
This rich, non-greasy cream contains 20% Urea, a powerful yet gentle exfoliant that dissolves excess keratin buildup — the root cause of rough, bumpy skin. It works by clearing away dead surface cells to refine skin texture, reduce the appearance of bumps and diminish redness or discoloration, revealing skin that looks and feels smoother and more even-toned.
Infused with Glycerin and deeply hydrating agents, the formula boosts moisture levels for up to 48 hours of long-lasting hydration, while reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier to prevent future dryness and irritation.
Perfect for daily use, the formula is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and clinically tested on sensitive skin — making it safe and effective for even the most reactive skin types.

I use this for KP on my shoulders and to keep my feet soft. It’s also great for dry patches (elbows, knees, etc). It’s doesn’t sting or smell.

I’ve tried numerous exfoliating lotions to clear up discolored abrasions & rough patches on arms & legs – but my skin is sensitive & easily irritated. I could never apply an exfoliant cream more than a few times without causing redness & irritation. This Cetaphil cream is the best I’ve tried. It’s gentle yet effective at smoothing rough, dry skin. I think the difference is that it contains urea, which dissolves dead skin cells. I’ve applied this cream once daily (x4) and have had no sensitive reaction, yet my skin is definitely smoother and more even-toned. This is what I wanted. I will definitely purchase again!

This cream leaves a white film on my skin after application. The smell does not bother me, but I am not a fan of the film it leaves behind. It is still too soon to tell if it really works for me, but my dermatologist recommended it for keratosis pilaris on my arms.
I will keep using it for now and see if there is improvement. Overall, it seems gentle and easy to apply.

Bought 2 one is okay but the other one was opened and dirty.

Great product. It’s loaded with urea which is great for KP, rough elbows, etc, but gentle enough to use everywhere. And like other urea lotions I’ve tried this one doesn’t smell like pee. 😁 As you would expect from a cetaphil product it absorbs very well and lasts a long time on the skin without being greasy. I live in the desert so I can’t speak to how this lotion behaves in humidity as, well, we don’t have any. 😉

The lotion is a great product, just don’t buy it in the summer, I received the product completely melted.

I’ve been dealing with KP for forever and I’ve tried so many different (and expensive) products and nothing has ever helped. I saw a video recommending Cetaphil 20% urea for KP and I had never even heard of urea before. The bottle is not expensive and I figured it’s worth a try. I’m glad I did and wish I had learned about this product earlier. Within 2 days I could already see a difference and after a few weeks I feel like my legs are the smoothest they have ever been with KP. For once I’m not completely dreading wearing shorts this upcoming summer. The texture can feel a tad chalky but it’s worth it for how much it helps with KP.

This cream really works on rough, bumpy skin. It’s easy to use, absorbs well, and has no strong smell. The 20% urea gently exfoliates while keeping skin soft. Great for daily use—no setup, just apply and go. Highly recommended for keratosis pilaris!

I appreciate Cetaphil for coming out with their Rough and Bumpy Cream because it has 20% Urea which sloughs off bumpy skin so fast, removes self tanner…if you want a new safe method to doing so, chemically exfoliates your skin in a gentle manner, while being soothing! I suggest not applying this on your face but on your legs it brightens them right up from dull to bright right away! Arms too especially if you have eczema or just bumps in general such as chicken skin! Ask your Dr as always!!! But if you know your skin, this is such a beautiful cream and at such a value! $11 OMG! So affordable! I will rebuy THIS again as it works but in a comfortable manner! I slather it on my arms and legs! That’s where I need it and it’s effective! Urea is such an underrated ingredient which has skin soothing properties as well! I never thought I’d see this from Cetephil! Nice!
