AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Cream

After decades with dry skin, thick callouses and 'chicken skin' (aka hyperkeratosis pillars), I learned about this fabulous lotion in medical school. Hallelujah! Even intermittent use makes my skin so moist and soft. It has helped my hang nails, the chicken skin on my arms and thighs, the thick skin I get on elbows and feet, the dry ragged skin around my nails, and the dry flakey skin on my shins. I even use it on my face at night and it gives this 66yo the skin of a baby when I wake! This powerful lactic acid cream makes excess keratin melt away. I strongly recommend it to my patients, my family and my friends who have any such problems. A few characteristics to be aware of: 1) It smells 'tangy' when applying but that dissipates. 2) I don't use it on my body at bedtime because then I stick to the sheets (except on my face) 3) If you have any breaks in the skin it will sting when applying. That dissipates too. This product is so worth the money. I find I use about one tub per month.

I absolutely love this body cream. I've struggled with dry skin for years, especially during Minnesota winters, and this has made a noticeable difference in how my skin looks and feels. What I appreciate most is that it helps smooth rough, dry areas without needing to physically scrub my skin. After just a few uses, my skin felt softer, smoother, and much more hydrated. It absorbs well and doesn't leave behind a greasy or sticky feeling. I've been using it regularly on my arms, legs, and other dry spots, and my skin feels noticeably healthier and more comfortable throughout the day. Pros: ✔ Deeply moisturizing for very dry skin ✔ Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth ✔ Helps improve rough, dry patches ✔ No greasy residue ✔ Easy to apply and absorbs well ✔ Great for daily use Cons: ✘ None for me Final Thoughts: If you deal with dry, rough skin and want something that actually makes your skin feel better, this cream is worth trying. My skin feels amazing after using it, and it's become a regular part of my skincare routine.

This actually hydrates your skin and leaves it feeling smooth. It has no scent and is not greasy at all. Works great!

Summary: Keeps my feet perfectly smooth (along with other products), the smell is bad but improved in my second jar. The cream is a wonderful thick, moisturizing consistency and the label sticker on the jar removes cleanly and easily. Before this product I had dry feet that were mildly cracked and needed constant upkeep to be just okay. My feet would often scratch my skin in bed at night. I'm a barefoot/sandals person when the environment is appropriate so keeping my feet looking smooth is high priory in my grooming routine. I have always applied body creams from head to toe daily but even that plus heavy duty foot stones, scrapers, electric devices, pedicures, chemical peels, kerasol, urea cream, etc the dryness would always come back. I tried the babyfoot chemical peel and that makes my feet perfect but only temporarily and with a lot of time, hassle and money. I wanted my feet to stay PERFECTLY SMOOTH with MINIMAL EFFORT. In an attempt to prolong the results of babyfoot peel I purchased AmLactin and my feet have been perfect ever since. I have NEVER had to do any scrubbing or soaking to keep my feet smooth in the past 8 months. At first, I had some dead skin on my heel that peeled off after a few days of using the cream and since then I haven't had any big dead skin patches. When I do it's because I have skipped a few nights of application or I’ve done a lot of walking. To clarify, this cream works for me in conjunction with other products. - I started off with a baby foot chemical peel - a few nights a week I use the Freeman Flirty Feet instant foot peel spray (or whenever I remember/notice any dead skin buildup.) - I use AmLactin 5-7 nights a week. Usually with socks. Your results may vary depending on the initial condition of your feet and your routine. Notes on the smell: I first purchased this about 8 months ago and the jar had the ammonia smell plus that strong syrupy smell, it was not great. I almost switched to a different brand when I ran out but I didn’t want to risk the results. I just opened my new jar and the syrup smell is gone! At first sniff you can’t smell anything but once I rubbed it in I noticed the light ammonia smell on my hands. But it’s no big deal and this is a massive improvement. And I noticed my feet tingling after applying my new jar so I wonder if the effectiveness is different.

Love this lotion. It's helped my skin in a lot of ways I didn't know I needed it! Bought it for ingrown hairs on my legs that randomly started happening the last few years. My legs were getting wrecked because of the ingrown hair cycle, picking them, scarring and subsequent even more difficult ingrown hairs. This lotion has helped reduce the ingrowns tremendously. The lotion feels a little like I just got out of saltwater, and I don't love that, but the benefits are worth it. And to get around that feeling I use this lotion in a light coat then I'll moisturize with one of my favorite scented lotions over top. Works perfectly! My skin everywhere is so much softer, more hydrated, the tone and texture is more even. I really wish I would have found this sooner. If anyone has an issue with lactic acid there's also other lotions with urea and that works really well too.

★★★★★ Living in Arizona, dry skin can become a year-round battle rather than just a seasonal issue. Between the heat, dry air, and constantly being active, I’ve tried plenty of products that promised relief but mostly delivered temporary results. What stood out with this product was that it felt different from a standard lotion. It seemed to do more than simply sit on the surface of the skin. After using it consistently, I noticed my skin felt smoother, more hydrated, and much less rough over time. I also appreciated that it seemed to help without requiring constant exfoliating or additional steps. The texture took a little getting used to at first, but the results made that adjustment easy. Sometimes products aimed at very dry skin either feel overly greasy or too light to actually help, and this found a good middle ground. Five stars. Effective, long-lasting, and one of the better products I’ve used for extremely dry skin.

I have had severely dry skin all of my life but this cream is fantastic. I get it now on auto ship. It's not greasy and makes my skin baby soft. It's worth every penny. So glad I can finally quit wasting money on products that promise to work and then don't. I'm an actual customer and not paid for this review.

Best thing for dry, cracking feet. It takes very little to get the job done and smooth you skin in days. Tub size is great and it's easy to apply.

Maravilla de crema! La compre para mejorar mi queratosis. No le tenía mucha fe porque utilice por AÑOS la de Cera Ve y jamás vi resultados. Con esta crema vi muchísimo avance, tengo la piel más lisa y suave. Vi resultados claros hasta el segundo frasco (sí, es un proceso LENTO) pero no me importa, mientras haya mejora. Ya voy por mi tercer bote y no creo cambiarla. Soy de tez morena, piel sensible pero grasa. La crema se siente mucho más ligera que la de CERAVE y a mí me dura como 1 mes aplicando una vez al día a diario.

Efficient delivery and great product. Very moisturising and makes skin soft

Crema muy densa y untuosa pero de rápida absorción. La compré para cuidar la zona del pecho y he notado mucha mejoría. Ahora la uso para todo el cuerpo. La recomiendo

Good cream
