Pros:

doesn't break me out
makes skin smooth
helps with fading scars

Cons:

expensive
doesn't provided enough hydration

I bought this because I had really bad KP on my legs, or severely dry skin bumps. They got really red and started spreading...they started to look like mild psoriasis or something. NO moisturizers/lotions worked until I decided to get this. About a week or two on this and so much difference! It reduced the amount of bumps and the redness. However, my legs are not super hydrated or anything--less bumpy, but still a little dry. I guess I'll just give it time. Anyway, this has AHA in it, which I heard works wonders for the face, so I decided to try it. It actually works really well! So far, so good. My skin feels smoother (which I love!) and it is non-greasy. I think it's also helped my acne and acne scars. I notice they go away faster. For a little background on my skin, I have an oily T zone, dry cheeks, and am pretty sensitive. This dried my T zone (just enough) and hydrating my cheeks. It balanced out my skin and made it even. Also, it didn't irritate it. Yay!! For a few seconds, though, it does sting, but it doesn't last long. A few tips... 1. Don't put this on while your face is still wet. I heard if you moisturize when your skin is wet, it helps retain the water, but I found this is more effective when my face is dried off after washing. Really rub it in, too, so it doesn't just stay on the surface. 2. BUY THIS AT COSTCO. I got this at a drugstore, $17 for 7oz. Costco has it $16 for 17 oz. I really wish I did that haha. All in all, I really like this :)

Pros:

A little goes a long way. I have a very oily Tzone with super dry skin every where else. This product is perfect for my combination skin. It has already improved the look and texture of my skin.

Cons:

It does sting a little, which makes it seem like it would actually be drying out your skin instead of moisturizing it. This is not the case! Also, the packaging is a little off-putting. Because well, you can use this stuff on your feet AND your face!

I absolutely trust my dermatologist that this product is the best choice for my acne prone skin. It is a little pricey, but I have used products much more expensive and AmLactin get the job done!

Pros:

Makes your skin super smooth.

Cons:

Stays sticky for a long time

If you are having a dry skin problem it's the only thing that works. Other moisturizers are just for fun. This stuff is serious.

Pros:

great moisturizer, lactic acid stimulates collagen development, a little goes a long way, didn't make me break out

Cons:

burns with application, MUST use sunscreen with product, a little harsh for the face

Its a catch 22 if used on the face, while it moisturizes well, and keeps face clear. You have to wear sunscreen and I don't know of any sunscreens that will not clog pores.

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.
