Pros:

The best thing for dry skin

Cons:

Stings

If you have dry skin, apply AmLactin at bedtime and use sunscreen during the day. Exfoliate gently 2-3 times a week. Watch your skin become smooth!

Pros:

It does an INCREDIBLE job of moisturizing; a little goes a long way. The lactic acid burns a bit but it is a good feeling; it makes your skin glow very well.

Cons:

I am not for sure if it is oil-free and non-comedogenic. I went through the ingredients and they looked fairly safe for acne.

I would definitely try it; it is very cheap and a little goes a long way.

Pros:

It might moisturize your skin, but that's nothing to distinguish this product from any other lotions out there.

Cons:

Expensive & it didn't work. Stings a little bit on initial application, and it feels like it's just sitting on top of your skin afterwards.

On a recommendation, I was actually using this for some mild-to-moderate Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms. I was originally looking for LacHydrin, though I heard from others that no real results were achieved with LacHydrin for KP. Too date, I have not seen any change whatsoever. I have also applied to my legs when they get dry & I didn't notice anything miraculous about AmLactin in comparison to other lotions I have used. If you are seeking a lotion for dry skin, you may want to experiment with other lotions or see Paula Begoun's reviews of body lotions and body washes. I am still looking for a good remedy for KP at the present time.

If you think it doesn’t work, what do you think the “sting” is?  Hint: It’s the acid working.
