AmLactin Daily Nourish Therapeutic Body Lotion for Dry Skin - No-Scrub Exfoliator and Moisturizer 12% Lactic Acid Lotion, 14.1 oz (Packaging May Vary)

Starting with the good, I am really pleased. I (61f) had been using The Ordinary 5% lactic acid drops on my face, and saw subtle improvement in surface texture. I thought, ok, I don't have any irritation with this, so let's try amping up the percentage. Test patching with this 12% product was ok. Some mild pinprickling - not burning -which is what I expected, and only lasts about a half hour. No rash, no roughness, and the faint pinpricks tell me it's penetrating to do the work. After about a week using it, I'm really liking what I see, and the price doesn't hurt at all. Having said that... I am not what anyone would call "scent sensitive". I wear perfumes, don't have any allergies, headaches, or reactions. But man, this has a smell all its own. It's just, ugh. Like you left yogurt rotting in a rubber glove. And you can't get any closer to the source of the smell than on your own face. It doesn't seem to fade much, either. I could still smell it quite clearly by the end of the day when I put it on in the morning. I actually had my friend sniff me. Closer. Ok, now closer... She practically had her nose pressed up against my cheek when she said, "Oh, ok, now I think I'm smelling it." So it's not like it's stinky to anyone else. But again, nobody smells your own face more clearly than you do, and even at the end of the day it was very noticeable to me. So I do have to knock a star off for that. Having said all that? Still gonna keep using it, because it really does seem to be doing a nice job smoothing out fine surface crepeyness on my face, and plumping/hydrating. Maybe at some point that particular receptor will burn out in my nose and I'll stop noticing that smell. I really hope so, because I rarely see such nice results in such an inexpensive product. (edit) Had to come back and edit this to give it that last star. I'm calling this User Error. More is not better here, and when I used a little less and massaged that in thoroughly, the smell was much, much less, and then really did fade away to nothing in about an hour. I guess applying too much to absorb easily on your face would naturally make it sit there all day on the surface.

I’m honestly impressed with this lotion. Within just a couple of days of using it, my skin felt noticeably softer and smoother. It really helped with rough, bumpy texture (especially on my arms), and my skin looks healthier overall. The formula is lightweight but still very moisturizing, and it absorbs pretty quickly without feeling greasy. It does have a slight scent (kind of clinical), but it fades after application and isn’t a dealbreaker for me considering how well it works. If you struggle with dry or textured skin, this is definitely worth trying. It works fast and actually delivers results.

I personally use it once a week as a facial moisturizer for gentle exfoliation. It works great as my skin looks moisturized and glowy the next day. However there is a faint smell present-almost like a diluted Nairs smell. Then again I’m using it on my face, if you just strictly use it as a body moisturizer you probably won’t smell it.

I bought this lotion because of a TikTok video from a dermatologist who recommended this for aging skin. I'm a senior and have lost weight recently and to my appalled surprise I now have crepey skin on my face that shows when I smile. It's horrifying! I've tried so many products geared to my age and for this particular problem to no avail. Today's skincare culture has us using a dozen products for our face and I haven't had much success with all the recommendations. Now I'm back to simplicity. I use a gentle cleanser and this lotion now. It's a moisturizing exfoliating lotion with 12% lactic acid that is supposed to renew the surface of the skin and even has shown to increase skin thickness with continued use. It is unscented but has a very, very, very slight smell that is almost non-existent and doesn't bother me at all and I am very sensitive to scents. The lotion is of a medium thickness and a little goes a long way. My skin felt instantly moisturized and I could feel a very, very, very slight tingle effect which the dermatologist said would happen because of the lactic acid. Of course extra care needs to be used when going outside and one needs to make sure they wear a sunscreen (but we should be doing that anyway, right?) This moisturizer can be used all over the body and face and will smooth rough skin and increase skin tone. I've only been using it for a few days but I really like how my skin feels. I can't claim yet that it decreased the crepey skin on my face but I feel if anything is going to work, it will be this lotion. Now my skincare routine consists of a gentle cleanser, Amlactin lotion, and Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (IFYKYK ; )

I have keratosis pilaris (those annoying, non-painful bumps on the backs of arms and down the sides of legs due to abnormal skin exfoliation). I never had the good fortune of outgrowing it as someone people do. For years I used prescription LacHydrin (12% lactic acid), which was costly even when I bought the generic formulations. This product costs half as much as what I paid even at the lowest generic price, and it works every bit as well as the prescription formulations I used. I'm not a fan of the smell, but to be completely fair, the generic prescription lotion I used years ago smelled the same way-in fact stronger. I'm not a fan of the texture either, but I've definitely used formulations that feel even worse than this product. What I am a fan of is the results I get and the low cost. This is a great product, and I highly recommend it as a good exfoliator lotion.

I started using this for KP. Works like a charm. My skin is moisturized and smooth. I will also say that, more importantly, I have psoriasis and I have observed that I do not get any flare ups where I apply this lotion. Once I realized that, I started using it as my face moisturizer as well. It tingles a little bit right when I put it on, but the results have been SO great for me.

Incredible at getting rid of bumpy skin on the backs of your arms and legs. It’s been a regular addition to my skin care routine and will continue to buy. Highly recommend :)

Finding this harder to source - but super skin treatment.

Excelente crema hidratante! Después de una investigación en internet buscando una buena crema hidratante me topé que muchas personas recomendaban esta crema y también. La empezaré a recomendar. Es muy buena, realmente hidrata y ayuda mucho a la piel, es muy fácil de manipular y el cuerpo la absorbe muy rápido, dejando la piel muy sueca e hidratada. El único detalle que veo es que su olor no es del todo agradable, pero es una crema principalmente para cuerpo por lo que no le veo tanto problema e igual solo la utilizo por las noches. Esta crema es difícil de encontrar en México por lo que encontrarla en Amazon y vendida también por Amazon fue un gran alivio ya que así me aseguro que es original y llegara rápido. La recomiendo mucho.

Si tienes queratosis pilaris, funciona muy bien.

This has totally changed the skin on my body for the better, no lumps and bumps left at all. Thanks Dr Dray for the recommendation.
