Pros:

reduces breakouts
reduces dry flaky skin
reduces razor bumps
can be used everywhere on your body

Cons:

expensive

I love this stuff. It's like the only lotion I can use on my face without fear of breakouts! In fact, it REDUCES them. It's an exfoliant, so it actually purges your pores of gross junk, and unclogs them, instead of clogging them. Within a week or two of using this on my face, my acne had reduced a good deal. My T-zone is really oily, and that's where I get breakouts. But my cheeks and nostrils are normally really dry and flakey with weird dry patches. Couldn't wear makeup without it emphasizing the dryness and flakes. BUT I use the AmLactin on my dry skin too, and the dryness/flakiness is completely gone too! It's amazing. Also, you can use this stuff for your chest, back, bottom, and other places you get breakouts, and it reduces them there too! And you have nice soft smooth skin. Also, It's great for anywhere on your body you have dryness or flakey skin. Definitely improved the icky skin on my feet. And of course gets rid of the weird red bumpls ppl get on the side of their arms. And another thing. It's amazing to use after shaving "down there." Slather a bunch of this on after you shave. and It will prevent razor bumps, and get rid of the ones you already have. It like pops the little hair out of the infected follicle, and it clears right up. And leaves the whole area very soft and smooth. So all around, it's a miracle lotion. Idk what I would do without it. Just a note, you may not need to use it on your face too frequently, incase of over-exfoliating. Especially if you already use harsh acne products that also exfoliate. Once a day at most.

Pros:

easy to find
clears skin
makes skin very smooth

Cons:

smells...interesting lol but you get used to it

I started putting AmLactin on every night for the past couple of weeks and I can really tell the difference, my skin is so smooth. The acne on my chest has cleared up. I have had a KP rash on my neck ever since I could remember, and once I started applying this lotion it cleared up completely and made it so smooth it doesn't even feel like my skin anymore and it's kind of scary. LOL I would totally recommend this lotion for everyone, it's great!

Pros:

It works perfectly with the regimen, I put it on after BP is totally absorved by my skin. You just need to use very little. Although, it doesn't say anything about acne, this moisturizer is the only one my acne-prone skin stands

I recommend it!

Pros:

contains 12% AHA for exfoliation, smooths skins and helps with dry flaky skin due to treating acne

Cons:

it can be pricey for a drugstore product

I have a mild to moderate acne, this helps my skin and I can notice a difference if I don't use it on a daily basis.

Pros:

AmLactin!!! You can buy this 12% lactic acid moisturizer at WalMart and [link removed], 8 ounces for around $14. Once available only by dermatologist prescription, AmLactin saved my skin from adult acne, acne scarring, having to poke at my face, making acne worse. If the AmLactin tingles or irritates, use it 3 times a week instead of every day. Consistent use is the key. AmLactin is not a fancy product, but it works as well or better than any high end or prescription skin treatment I have tri

Cons:

Can sting slightly - apply to DRY skin for best results.

How anyone can say AmLactin 12% lactic acid moisturizer is expensive when you compare it to high end or prescription products is beyond me. AmLactin is CHEAP, buy it at Wal-Mart or [link removed] for $14 for 8 ounces.

Pros:

Works very well with my skin and manages to make it smooth. Haven't used it long enough to see if it has cleared my face up any..We'll see :)

Cons:

Very greasy, kinda pricey

I recommend it, even if it doesn't clear your skin. It's a very good moisturizer!

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!
