19 May Review, Before/After Photos, Ingredients: AmLactin Alpha Hydroxy Therapy – Body Lotion, Foot Cream: How To Treat, Heal Severe Dry Skin, Eczema
AmLactin body lotion has been used in my home for many years. My mother suffers from severe eczema and dry skin — so much so, she does not grow hair on her legs. I recall her going to the dermatologist and being prescribed a medicated lotion called Lac-Hydrin. Lac-Hydrin (also known as Ammonium Lactate) definitely healed, exfoliated the dead skin and moisturized my mother’s skin.
Old Look
She began looking for an over-the-counter, lotion-type product that was comparable to the Lac-Hydrin prescribed to her. Her dermatologist recommended AmLactin. This was over 10 years ago and this is still the lotion of choice for my entire family.
New Look
About a year ago, I went into my local drugstore and I literally stood by the lotion section, looking for a forest-green and white bottle of AmLactin… for about 15-minutes. Finally, frustrated, I decided to drive to another drugstore to see if AmLactin was available elsewhere. To my surprise AmLactin totally revamped its packaging (and yes, they left their formula and ingredients the same!).
Of course, then I realized how dependent consumers are on the packaging of their favorite products, and how depressed and down-in-the-dumps we feel when our favorite product “disappears” off the shelves… And what a great feeling it is when we rediscover our favorite product wasn’t discontinued, it just received a makeover!
AmLactin is an EXTREMELY moisturizing, fragrance-free lotion. It leaves your skin moisturized all day. Although I don’t suffer from severe dry, rough skin, I do use AmLactin Moisturizing Body Lotion to keep my skin hydrated and lightly exfoliated.
AmLactin is a bit pricey (I pay $20.00 for a 20 ounce bottle from Costco), however, AmLactin is DEFINITELY worth every penny. Not only did AmLactin give their packaging a new and improved look, they added these new products to their line:
• AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion – available in four sizes:
7.9 ounce bottle with press-cap
14.1 ounce bottle with pump
17.6 ounce bonus bottle with pump (seasonal)
20 ounce bonus size only available at Costco
• AmLactin Foot Cream
• AmLactin Ultra Hydrating Body Cream (formally AmLactin XL)
• AmLactin Cerapeutic Restoring Body Lotion
I will be using EVERYTHING from the AmLactin line — there is no need for me to ever use another lotion. Two thumbs up, AmLactin!

Posted at 00:53h, 27 AugustAmLactin was recommended to my husband by our dermatologist. He’s in his late 70’s and his arms look like a battle field! His skin is so thin, he bairly bumps his arms and he gets these awful dark spots, he wears arm guards for protection but often forgets to put them on. We understand Amlactin will help to thicken the skin. Sure hope it works, it certainly has wonderful reviews. I’m looking forward to trying it myself!

Posted at 00:01h, 13 Septemberwhat is the difference between the regular lotion and the new Amlactin cerapeutic lotion, which is more expensive. Also the Ammonium Lactate Lotion 12% by Perrigo seems to have the same ingredients as the regular Amlactin lotion. I am new to this treatment recommended by my dermatologist.
Can anyone help me, after using the lotion, my skin feels so sticky and I can’t tolerate any clothing at night, or even if I touch my skin, I stick to myself. Just rubbing it off under a shower??? Any help for a new user is appreciated .
