AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Cream, 12 oz Tub, 2-in-1 Exfoliator and Moisturizer for Dry Skin with 15% Lactic Acid and Ceramides for 24-Hour Moisturization

T.H.I.S. S.T.U.F.F. W.O.R.K.S.!!!My dermatologist recommended Amlactin for seborrheic kerotoses. It takes a few weeks of dedicated and continuous daily application, but dryness disappeared after the first application. Amlactin has an unusual scent, akin to celery, but that disappears after a few minutes. And yes, it's on the pricey side, but well worth it. After the skin issues are under control, applying Amlactin twice a week should do the trick, and regular lotion can be used on off days.

I bought this product after using their 12% lactic acid lotion because I wanted a thicker cream and it’s the higher concentration. The lotion says it’s fragrance free/no scent but while it may not have any fragrance added, it most definitely has a strong medicinal scent. I have asthma and couldn’t wear it on my arms or even at night on my legs. I thought I’d try this product to see if it was any better, and it is definitely an improvement. There is still a similar smell just not as intense. The higher concentration and cream form totally offset this. It works really well on my KP. KP causes a build up of protein around each hair follicle that makes my skin super bumpy and rough. No regular lotion can penetrate it. For my whole life I’ve never been able to shave my legs without pain because I’d get lots of razor burns. But after using this product for a few weeks, it’s dissolved the protein which gives me smoother skin that I have no problem shaving. I actually use an epilator so combined with the cream I’m getting the smoothest skin I’ve ever had! This product also exfoliates well. I discovered on my skin it sometimes causes dryness but I solved that by switching it off every other day with hydrocortisone cream. That also works well on KP and is gentle with no scent, but it is slower to dissolve the protein. It works great at nighttime as an alternative product. I bought a large jar of it here on Amazon, as it’s more cost effective than buying those little tubes over the counter. This product is a life changer!

AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Cream is highly effective for dry skin. As someone who washes their hands many times a day, I struggled to find a moisturizer that would truly absorb and hydrate. I even resorted to petroleum jelly with gloves overnight, but nothing worked as well as this cream.That said, the smell was overpowering when I first opened it. I double-checked the label to confirm it was "unscented," and it was—but the odor was still noticeable. Despite this, the cream works so well that I found ways to make it more pleasant. I transferred some to another container and added a few drops of high-quality essential oils to mask the scent. I’ve also applied it and followed up with a favorite scented lotion, which worked just as well.If you can get past the initial smell, this cream is incredibly effective and worth it!

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 product. I have used many creams. My skin is very dry. This has been the best over the counter cream I have used
