Is chicken skin shower gel effective

Jan 24,2025

1. The direct therapeutic effect of shower gel on improving chicken skin (i.e. follicular keratosis) is limited.

2. Choosing shower gel containing mild moisturizing ingredients, such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, etc., can help maintain skin moisture, reduce skin dryness, and indirectly alleviate symptoms of chicken skin.

3. Specific shower gels containing exfoliating ingredients (such as fruit acids, salicylic acid, etc.) may help soften and remove the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin to some extent, but caution should be exercised when using them to avoid excessive exfoliation that can worsen skin sensitivity or dryness. Shower gel is more of an auxiliary effect rather than a direct treatment for chicken skin.
