AmLactin Ultra Smoothing Alpha Hydroxy Therapy Intensely Hydrating Cream 4.9 oz.

Very good cream did the job would buy again

it smells not good ! And not so efficient, indeed, I don't know if i take some ine the future.

My husband is a podiatrist and was writing prescriptions for Amlactin for his patients with severely dry skin before it was available over-the-counter. Since then it can be purchased without a prescription, but he still recommends it highly and gives samples of it to his patients. I LOVE this stuff personally and so does he. We have a ton of it and never run out. it's great for people with vascular disease, diabetes, and other disorders which cause dry skin, including disorders such as hypothyroidism and just plain dry skin due to weather, sun exposure or whatever. I like this version better than the Amlactin XL because it absorbs into the skin quicker and it is not as thick. It seems a little more creamy than the XL. ALL Amlactin products are fantastic.....just depends on what you are wanting or using it for. The lotion, of course, absorbs the fastest. My husband & I especially like to use Amlactin on our hands. It keeps my fingernails from being brittle, as I do have hypothyroidism. Its a great after sun lotion too, to prevent the peeling you often get. I just can't say enough good things about this stuff. I am a nurse & my husband & I are both members of the American Professional Wound Care Association. When we go to wound care conferences, we often go to the Amlactin booth and pick up as many samples as we can get our hands on. They have many products. All of their lotions are available over-the-counter. No.....we are not paid endorsers.....just big fans of this lotion.

I have keratosis pilaris and have been trying to find a solution for years. I had tried countless moisturizing products and exfoliation products. I even tried Korea Italy towels after reading so many great things about them from others with KP - nothing groundbreaking. After about 3-4 days of using AmLactin, the results were drastic. This is the FIRST product I have found that actually works on my condition. This is the first time in my life since the age of 12 that my arms and legs are silky smooth. It's worth noting that the smell of this product is not attractive. It isn't losing a star for smelling like ammonia since that is one of the active ingredients, and clearly it works. It is not a miracle cure, but it is effective treatment for extremely dry and bumpy skin. After using this consistently for 1-2 weeks, I enjoyed the benefits for another 1-2 weeks before I really had to reapply.

A sample of this was given to me by an MD. It works! Every winter, I don’t know why, I live in Texas and I don’t use a lot of dry, forced air heat, but the backs of my hands get so dry the skin covering them will crack and bleed. I’ve tried a bunch of different hand lotions. The only thing which helped was Vaseline! I applied that at bedtime. But this is better. It soaks in and is not as greasy as petroleum jelly so when it touches bedsheets or whatever, it’s really no issue. There seems to be some ingredient in it which makes the skin it’s applied to... stretchable! Not just soft and smooth. Yes, I have to occasionally reapply but right from my first application I achieved lasting results within hours! It costs a couple bucks more than most other hand creams (crèmes?) but Amlactin works and for me those others don’t. This company has another product with that name. It comes in the usual upright hand lotion container. It’s not the same; it’s not as thick, it’s not as strong. I recommend the Ultra in the tube. I keep it in my nightstand.

I have been using Amlactin lotion for over 10 years, back in the day with it was only available by prescription. Saw the cream advertised and thought I would try it. I have severe eczema and trying to keep it under control, especially in the winter is a daily battle. When triggered, it feels like my skin has gotten tight as shoe leather, inflamed and with a mighty burning fire! Amlactin lotion is one product that I know of that can put out the burning fire. I was hoping the cream would do the same and it does. It is thick and soothing so it works good on the tight shoe leather feeling also. I will still buy the lotion because you get so much more of it. I think the cream is a little pricey for the quantity but it does put out the fire and it definitely stays on longer... okay so that makes it worth it! Just use it in moderation!

This worked ok, but I can't quite tell if it really helped get rid of my KP on its own, because I used this in combination with a shower scrub, pure coconut oil and sun exposure (all of which seem to help my KP be less obvious. I think it's worth a shot if you're running out of options, but I am slightly bothered by the smell. I have stopped using it since the KP became less obvious, and have continued to use LUSH buffy body butter (as a scrub) and pure coconut oil after a shower. I would probably try these first before the amlactin, since it's a more health conscious option.
