Best Body Lotions for Body Acne & KP (Keratosis Pilaris) in India

When we think of acne, most of us picture breakouts on the face. But in reality, body acne and Keratosis Pilaris (KP) — also called “chicken skin” (tiny bumps on arms, thighs, or back) — are just as common, especially in India’s humid weather.

The good news? Skincare science has evolved beyond harsh scrubs. The best solution today is a body lotion formulated with active ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide — hydrating, exfoliating, and clarifying in one.

In this blog, we’ll explore why body acne and KP happen, what to look for in a treatment lotion, and why Perenne Clarifying Body Lotion (2% Salicylic Acid + Niacinamide) is the best body lotion for acne & KP in India.

 

Why Does Body Acne & KP Happen?

Body Acne Causes

• Sweat & Heat: Common in Indian weather → clogs pores on back, chest, arms.
• Friction (Gymwear, Tight Clothes): Leads to “backne” and inflamed breakouts.
• Oil & Dead Skin Build-Up: Blocks pores and causes acne lesions.
  
  

Keratosis Pilaris Causes

• KP is caused by keratin build-up around hair follicles.
• Appears as rough, small bumps (like permanent goosebumps).
• Not harmful, but many seek smooth skin solutions.
