"Moisture Seal"2009-08-25 By W. Easley (Colorado Rocky Mountains)
Medicines that I take for my disabilities severely drys my skin. My physician suggested two actions: a non soap body wash, and ammonium lactate lotion. After a very long search I found this ammonium lactate, alpha hydrate lotion by Amlactin. The physician approved this choice.
This lotion is not a typical lotion as it contains cetyl alcohol, which instead of a dying agent actually protects the skin from moisture loss, and lactic acid (or milk acid) which increases the amount of water in the skin, making the skin softer and more pliable.
This product applies smoothly and is easy to work into the skin. When applied it does not clog the pores. With steady use it even softens calluses and eliminates dry scaly skin.
My skin is no longer dry and rough. Most of my calluses are gone. I am seldom bothered by skin that itches. I highly recommend this product.

"Best acne treatment I've found"2010-01-05 By AHH (Utah) I've tried tons of acne treatments, and I stumbled upon this. I use it at night, and I've had the best improvement in my skin yet! I'm super excited about it. Works great on my hands, too! yeah it's mildly smelly, but I can handle it!
"The only thing that works for my eczema, but it stinks."2005-08-08 By Michael Pangerl (Princeton, MN USA) I have tried many other things, but this is the only one that softens my hands eczema. It does stink but not for long. It also burns when I first put it on, but that goes away in a couple of minutes. Cetaphil works the next best, but is very temporary. Amlactin is what I will be using from now on. It now comes in a 14oz. bottle also.
"This product improved my dry skin. I noticed ..."2000-03-18 By This product improved my dry skin. I noticed a reduction of dryness almost immediately. Outside of that quality, frankly, I didn't care much for it. The lotion left my skin feeling very waxy. Its fragrance reminded me of the odor of Elmer's glue. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless getting rid of dry skin was his sole concern.
"Very effective for dry, flaky skin. Absorbs well ..."2000-03-12 By Very effective for dry, flaky skin. Absorbs well and keeps working most of the day. Better than most brands we've tried. Would recommend to family and friends.
"I have mixed feelings about this lotion. It's ..."2000-03-09 By I have mixed feelings about this lotion. It's fragrance free, but it has a kind of chemical smell. It also left my skin feeling sticky for a few hours after I used it. My legs were really dry from the winter weather and this lotion softened my skin. It also didn't require more than one application each day and it didn't irritate my skin. The price is kind of high for me, but it worked well.

Customer Review : AmLactin 12 Moisturizing Lotion
"In Progress"2009-04-06 By T. Laing (Atlanta, Ga) just got a few days ago and some thoughts... I notice no smell at all. I have seem improvement in my dry skin in just a few days... I haven't seen a hughe improvement in the KP bumps but then again has only been a few days.... Was hoping this would help ingrown hair bumps as well... i think just having the mosturized skin has helped there. My sone has eczema and i can put this lotion directly on those spots and it doesn't burn which has been a problem with other lotions.. Some improvement but wil follow up in a few weeks after continued use....
"Works well"2009-03-16 By DB (Houston, Texas USA) I like this product. It really does great for my skin. The only thing that bothers me is the smell, I think it kind of smells like crayons. Instead of using it twice a day, I just use it once at night after showering and the smell usually goes away by the time I leave for work in the morning.
"Chemical smell and sticky"2008-10-22 By Zoe Batten I have tried this product on my arms and legs to help my Keritosis Pilaris, the product has worked some what but the chemical smell put me off. Also when I first put the cream on it dries sticky and made my skin tingle. It didn't get rid of the KP (I'm still using it as I can't afford anything else) but a combination of using this cream and exfoliating has made it slightly better....not the miracle I was hoping for though :0(
"Solved my itchy skin problem"2008-04-01 By Laure Chipman (Tucson, AZ United States) Had itchy skin for years and moisturizers didn't seem very effective. AmLactin took several days to build up its effect, but then eliminated the itching. Been using it five years now. Does have a slight ammonia smell.
"Effective Overnight Exfoliant; Less Than Ideal for Daytime Use"2007-12-11 By Leo Jay (Jersey City, USA) Very effective exfoliant, but as others have said the ammonium scent and the slightly tacky residue it leaves on the skin make it somewhat less than ideal for use during day. I find it best to apply it at night, then shower it off in the morning and use Cetaphil as my daytime moisturizer.
