AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Cream

After decades with dry skin, thick callouses and 'chicken skin' (aka hyperkeratosis pillars), I learned about this fabulous lotion in medical school. Hallelujah! Even intermittent use makes my skin so moist and soft. It has helped my hang nails, the chicken skin on my arms and thighs, the thick skin I get on elbows and feet, the dry ragged skin around my nails, and the dry flakey skin on my shins. I even use it on my face at night and it gives this 66yo the skin of a baby when I wake! This powerful lactic acid cream makes excess keratin melt away. I strongly recommend it to my patients, my family and my friends who have any such problems. A few characteristics to be aware of: 1) It smells 'tangy' when applying but that dissipates. 2) I don't use it on my body at bedtime because then I stick to the sheets (except on my face) 3) If you have any breaks in the skin it will sting when applying. That dissipates too. This product is so worth the money. I find I use about one tub per month.

I absolutely love this body cream. I've struggled with dry skin for years, especially during Minnesota winters, and this has made a noticeable difference in how my skin looks and feels. What I appreciate most is that it helps smooth rough, dry areas without needing to physically scrub my skin. After just a few uses, my skin felt softer, smoother, and much more hydrated. It absorbs well and doesn't leave behind a greasy or sticky feeling. I've been using it regularly on my arms, legs, and other dry spots, and my skin feels noticeably healthier and more comfortable throughout the day. Pros: ✔ Deeply moisturizing for very dry skin ✔ Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth ✔ Helps improve rough, dry patches ✔ No greasy residue ✔ Easy to apply and absorbs well ✔ Great for daily use Cons: ✘ None for me Final Thoughts: If you deal with dry, rough skin and want something that actually makes your skin feel better, this cream is worth trying. My skin feels amazing after using it, and it's become a regular part of my skincare routine.

★★★★★ Living in Arizona, dry skin can become a year-round battle rather than just a seasonal issue. Between the heat, dry air, and constantly being active, I’ve tried plenty of products that promised relief but mostly delivered temporary results. What stood out with this product was that it felt different from a standard lotion. It seemed to do more than simply sit on the surface of the skin. After using it consistently, I noticed my skin felt smoother, more hydrated, and much less rough over time. I also appreciated that it seemed to help without requiring constant exfoliating or additional steps. The texture took a little getting used to at first, but the results made that adjustment easy. Sometimes products aimed at very dry skin either feel overly greasy or too light to actually help, and this found a good middle ground. Five stars. Effective, long-lasting, and one of the better products I’ve used for extremely dry skin.

My dermatologist recommended this product due to very dry skin patches that I have. It does keep my shoulders, arms and legs more moisturized better than other lotions I have used. I use it in this form, plus the pump bottle. This 15% version is thicker and doesn't spread out as thinly as the lotion in the pump bottle. The only odd thing is that this has a beef bouillon odor which the pump bottle lotion version doesn't have. It doesn't stink on my skin, although I guess smelling like beef isn't totally bad as I imagine I would be attractive to dogs. I like dogs. I will continue to use both the lotion and this cream as some areas just need a light coating and other areas need this thicker application. I will reorder this again when needed. I'm 73 and live in western Oregon (definitely not a dry area for 6 months) so my dry skin is probably more age related rather than environmental. I'm updating my review after using it a while. It does smell on my skin. The smell is really getting to me. It lingers for approx. a half day and starts to make me nauseous after an hour or so. I still like how it works, but I've switched to using the lotion in the pump bottle which doesn't have any scent, but it's a 12% solution rather than a 15% mix. I'm going to try to cover the scent (of the UNscented product!) with an essential oil as another reviewer has done. I ordered a tropical oil pack from Amazon and added less than 50 drops of pineapple and the same of coconut. I didn't add enough that it smells of coconut-pineapple, but it now has a fresh scent. Much better! I have this cream on a subscription order and can now fix that bouillion odor.

Love this lotion. It's helped my skin in a lot of ways I didn't know I needed it! Bought it for ingrown hairs on my legs that randomly started happening the last few years. My legs were getting wrecked because of the ingrown hair cycle, picking them, scarring and subsequent even more difficult ingrown hairs. This lotion has helped reduce the ingrowns tremendously. The lotion feels a little like I just got out of saltwater, and I don't love that, but the benefits are worth it. And to get around that feeling I use this lotion in a light coat then I'll moisturize with one of my favorite scented lotions over top. Works perfectly! My skin everywhere is so much softer, more hydrated, the tone and texture is more even. I really wish I would have found this sooner. If anyone has an issue with lactic acid there's also other lotions with urea and that works really well too.

I have had severely dry skin all of my life but this cream is fantastic. I get it now on auto ship. It's not greasy and makes my skin baby soft. It's worth every penny. So glad I can finally quit wasting money on products that promise to work and then don't. I'm an actual customer and not paid for this review.

This has been my go-to for many years, ever since it was recommended to me by my dermatologist. Helps dry, scaling/cracking skin better than anything else I've tried. Not the best smell, but that's not what it's for. It might seem on the pricy side, but it's worth every penny.

I bought this product because I saw someone post it on Reddit as a "cure" for saggy skin due to rapid weight loss. The label makes no such claim, but I saw no harm in taking a random strangers advice off the internet. It's not like it's someone trying to lure me into a panel van with a promise of candy (again). So I bought and added this to my ever growing shelf o' stuff that makes dramatic promises. I've lost over 100 lbs in a bit over a year, so I've got saggy skin at my arms, legs and belly. Arms are my priority because people see them when I wear a t-shirt. Belly is secondary because I see that in the mirror. Legs least important because I hardly look down. Anyway, It's only been a week and I can see improvement in my arms. A lot really. I don't know if it's a permanent thing, or only as long as I use it, but I don't care: I know on T-shirt wearing days I can slather this stuff on and my arms wont make me look like a dried up prune. The Price is fair, a lot cheaper than the other "Quick Fix" stuff, even the stuff that comes from China. It's silky smooth, has not caused me any irritation, and it washes off really easily.

Maravilla de crema! La compre para mejorar mi queratosis. No le tenía mucha fe porque utilice por AÑOS la de Cera Ve y jamás vi resultados. Con esta crema vi muchísimo avance, tengo la piel más lisa y suave. Vi resultados claros hasta el segundo frasco (sí, es un proceso LENTO) pero no me importa, mientras haya mejora. Ya voy por mi tercer bote y no creo cambiarla. Soy de tez morena, piel sensible pero grasa. La crema se siente mucho más ligera que la de CERAVE y a mí me dura como 1 mes aplicando una vez al día a diario.

Crema muy densa y untuosa pero de rápida absorción. La compré para cuidar la zona del pecho y he notado mucha mejoría. Ahora la uso para todo el cuerpo. La recomiendo

Picked it up 1 day ago and immediately used it and again today and the flaky ashy scaly skin on my legs is gone .. like gone, legs are smooth and its only the start .. can’t wait to see what my legs are like after a few weeks of using this cream. Slight smell but goes away after drying, no irritation so far

Good cream
