This First Aid Beauty bump eraser exfoliant apparently works wonders. "A little goes a long way," one review suggests. "No, seriously. Use a little, about pea size for each arm. I got this beginning of summer, it's now fall and I still have plenty left. I use it about 3x a week and wow. The redness is totally gone. I can confidently say that I love my arms now. I can still feel bumps, but paired with Cerave SA lotion for rough and bumpy skin, they just keep improving. I've also used this on my legs and they're improving as well.
