BASE LABORATORIES Ingrown Hair KP Bump Exfoliating Body Scrub — 3 oz AHA+BHA sea salt formula for razor bumps & strawberry skin

Base Laboratories Ingrown Hair KP Bump Exfoliating Body Scrub is a triple-acid AHA+BHA body scrub that combines sea salt physical exfoliation with lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids to help clear ingrown hairs, keratosis pilaris, razor bumps and strawberry skin.

This concentrated 3 oz clinical-style scrub is formulated for friction-prone and sensitive areas where ingrowns and follicular congestion happen most — bikini line, underarms, legs, and the neck/beard area. It pairs mechanical exfoliation from fine sea salt with a chemical peel blend (lactic and glycolic AHAs plus salicylic BHA) and soothing botanicals to refine texture while calming redness and irritation.

How does this scrub work on keratosis pilaris and rough, bumpy skin?

The scrub uses a two-pronged approach: surface-smoothing AHAs loosen dead skin cells, while salicylic acid penetrates pores to clear trapped oil and debris. Regular use helps reduce the keratin plugs and rough follicular bumps that characterize KP, leaving skin softer and more even in appearance.

• Triple-acid blend: lactic + glycolic + salicylic acids for layered exfoliation.
• Physical exfoliant: fine sea salt sloughs away surface buildup.
• Targets follicular keratinization to reduce visible bumps over time.

Will this product help prevent and remove ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing?

Yes — used as a pre- or post-shave/wax step, the formula helps free hairs trapped beneath the skin and reduces the inflammation that leads to razor bumps. Salicylic acid helps clear the pore while the mechanical action lifts debris and loosened skin, improving hair emergence.

• Use before shaving to reduce trapped hairs and after shaving to exfoliate regrowing hair.
• Helps minimize post-shave redness, razor burn, and folliculitis-associated bumps.
• Safe for delicate areas thanks to added calming botanicals.

Is this safe for sensitive areas and skin types prone to irritation?

The formula balances potent acids with soothing extracts — Centella Asiatica (CICA), green tea and chamomile — plus niacinamide and licorice root to help calm inflammation and support barrier recovery. Start with 2–3 uses per week and patch-test if you have very reactive skin.

• Formulated for bikini line, underarms, neck/beard and other delicate zones.
• Soothing botanicals help reduce redness and irritation during exfoliation.
• Recommended frequency: 2–3 times weekly, followed by moisturizer and SPF when exposed.

How quickly will I see results and how should I use it?

Some users notice smoother texture after the first few applications, while sustained improvement in KP and ingrown hair frequency may take several weeks of consistent use. Apply in the shower to damp skin, massage gently over target areas, rinse thoroughly, and follow with a hydrating lotion.

• Apply to damp skin, massage gently, then rinse; use 2–3 times weekly.
• Best used as a pre-shave/pre-wax step or part of a weekly body-care rotation.
• Follow with moisturizer and daily SPF on treated areas when exposed to sun.

Who is this for: This body scrub is designed for men and women dealing with keratosis pilaris, stubborn ingrown hairs, razor bumps, strawberry legs, or bumpy textured skin who want a clinical-strength but thoughtfully balanced exfoliant. It suits all skin types but is especially helpful for people with follicular congestion in friction-prone zones; sensitive-skin users should patch-test and begin with less frequent use. Cruelty-free and formulated to calm as it exfoliates, it works well as a targeted treatment in a complete body-care routine.
