AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Lotion for Dry Skin - 14.1 oz and 7.9 oz Pump Bottles - 2-in-1 Exfoliator & Moisturizer with Ceramides & 15% Lactic Acid

I do not know what I did before discovering this moisturizer. I have dry, sensitive skin and my legs used to be super dry and scaly. So upsetting! I tried so many body creams, body products etc until I saw someone mention this on social media somewhere. I've been using it for several years now and will never stop. It has saved my dry legs and it is all I need, including during cold, dry NYC winters. It is the only body moisturizer that has worked for me. For context, I am now 50 years old. The only negative is that it smells terrible! Like a chemical-y medicine. But that is a small, tiny price to pay for smooth, moisturized legs. The smell usually goes away within an hour and you can layer on other perfumed oils or moisturizers to further mask. I use this in the mornings after a shower and it keeps legs moisturized all day.

This product is the most amazing, underrated body care. People shy away from it because it has a chemical smell in the beginning ( Which is the active ingredient, lactic acid) but it totally dissipates within five minutes if not quicker. I don’t think it stinks, It’s simply not masked by a bunch of fragrances and perfumes. I add my perfume when the cream is absorbed. It may tingle a little bit in the beginning. That’s the active ingredient working. The other problem is it takes a month to work. At least for it did for me. You’ll see differences within a week though. But it is so worth the wait. People get too impatient. I have no idea how I stumbled upon this product, but I am so glad I did. Pictures below and I promise I used no filters. (I’m 56). I’m certainly not saying my skin is perfect, because it’s not. But I am saying the improvement is astonishing. I wish I had before pictures but I don’t. I didn’t realize it was gonna work so well. My advice, be patient. Btw, all the bumps on my arms are gone.

This Amalactin product is clearly recognized as a high-quality skin lotion - our experience with the cream has been good. However, when purchasing this regularly, we find (now twice out of a half dozen recent orders) that Amazon packages the product irresponsibly, tossed into a shipping box with no cushioning and carelessly not placed in a sealed container so the cream has leaked on other products in the same box. This is ridiculous for such an expensive hand cream.

I have Hashimoto’s and get super dry, flaky skin—especially in the fall and winter—and honestly, this is the only lotion that keeps it under control. I’ve tried so many moisturizers over the years, but nothing works quite like this one. I stay hydrated for a full 24 hours, no problem.I found it thanks to Dr. Dray on YouTube (bless her), and I’m so glad I gave it a shot. It does have a bit of a scent—not perfumey, just kind of “clinical”—but I’ll take that any day if it means my skin doesn’t feel like sandpaper. Total game-changer for dry skin warriors. I use with a body oil to cut the scent, but honestly, I don't even smell it anymore since i've used this for so long.

Incredibly Moisturizing and Effective!This lightweight lotion has been a game-changer for my dry skin. While the scent isn’t my favorite, it’s perfect as a base layer—especially before events—since I can easily apply a more fragrant lotion on top. What really sets it apart is how deeply it hydrates: it’s the only product I’ve found that provides lasting relief for over 24 hours. My skin not only feels more comfortable, but it actually looks healthier too. It’s especially amazing on problem areas like dry feet, elbows, and knees. Highly recommend if you're looking for serious, long-lasting moisture!

I saw this on TikTok and decided to see if it actually works. I’m 42 and have “old lady wrinkly skin” that drives me crazy. My skin has always looked very dry and porous even though I moisturize all the time. Well this is a game changer!!! It feels amazing, goes on smooth, and has hardly any scent. After just 2 days of use I can already see the difference and my legs are so tooth and soft! Now I did see somewhere that if you use it to not be directly in the sun as you can get burnt easier. Not sure if that’s just after you apply it or an every day thing once you start using it. I will test it out and repost my findings for you guys when I have a chance.

I'm leaving 3 stars due to the scent alone. I purchased this for extremely dry skin. I can't speak on how it works for that yet, as I just used it for the first time, after my shower, getting ready for work. It smells like the type of sweet antifreeze or urine is. I've had it on for about an hour, it's still all I smell so I don't anticipate it going away. Lesson learned not to apply new products before work. This wasn't supposed to be scented. I'm looking for an effective lotion that won't interfere with my purfumes. This isn't it. It might be okay to use at night and shower in the morning but that's about it. It's so gross.

My husband and i both have very dry skin but my husband’s arms tend to flake from being so dry . Our dermatologist recommended this for us and we both love it. It is not thick or greasy & goes on light and airy. We use it daily . We have noticed much better skin change I will continue to purchase this product.
