Amlactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion, 12% Lactic Acid, 7.9 oz, 2 Pack

I've been using AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion (12% Lactic Acid) for a few weeks, and it has made a noticeable difference in my skin. My dry, rough areas, especially on my arms and legs, feel much softer and smoother after regular use.The lotion is rich and moisturizing without feeling overly greasy. The 12% lactic acid provides gentle exfoliation while helping to lock in moisture, which has improved my skin's texture significantly. It absorbs reasonably well and provides long-lasting hydration throughout the day.One thing to note is that there is a slight medicinal scent when first applied, but it fades quickly and is a small trade-off for the results.Overall, if you're struggling with dry, flaky, or rough skin and want a lotion that both exfoliates and hydrates, I highly recommend giving this product a try. Great value for the size and very effective for daily skincare.

Starting with the good, I am really pleased. I (61f) had been using The Ordinary 5% lactic acid drops on my face, and saw subtle improvement in surface texture. I thought, ok, I don't have any irritation with this, so let's try amping up the percentage. Test patching with this 12% product was ok. Some mild pinprickling - not burning -which is what I expected, and only lasts about a half hour. No rash, no roughness, and the faint pinpricks tell me it's penetrating to do the work. After about a week using it, I'm really liking what I see, and the price doesn't hurt at all.Having said that...I am not what anyone would call "scent sensitive". I wear perfumes, don't have any allergies, headaches, or reactions. But man, this has a smell all its own. It's just, ugh. Like you left yogurt rotting in a rubber glove. And you can't get any closer to the source of the smell than on your own face. It doesn't seem to fade much, either. I could still smell it quite clearly by the end of the day when I put it on in the morning.I actually had my friend sniff me. Closer.Ok, now closer...She practically had her nose pressed up against my cheek when she said, "Oh, ok, now I think I'm smelling it." So it's not like it's stinky to anyone else. But again, nobody smells your own face more clearly than you do, and even at the end of the day it was very noticeable to me. So I do have to knock a star off for that.Having said all that? Still gonna keep using it, because it really does seem to be doing a nice job smoothing out fine surface crepeyness on my face, and plumping/hydrating. Maybe at some point that particular receptor will burn out in my nose and I'll stop noticing that smell. I really hope so, because I rarely see such nice results in such an inexpensive product.(edit)Had to come back and edit this to give it that last star. I'm calling this User Error. More is not better here, and when I used a little less and massaged that in thoroughly, the smell was much, much less, and then really did fade away to nothing in about an hour. I guess applying too much to absorb easily on your face would naturally make it sit there all day on the surface.

I have really dry and really sensitive skin. I’ve tried so many lotions and potions but never found anything that really worked, until now. I’ve only used this lotion for a week and my flaky skin is gone! I wear black leggings a lot and usually when I pull them off the inside is covered with flakes of skin. No more! Not one single flake! I honestly can’t believe it.I use this immediately after showering and toweling off. I keep it in my shower but away from the water. I have a large glass shower with a built in seat and all of my products are on the seat. Shake it well before using. It is not greasy AT ALL. The smell isn’t bad, it isn’t completely fragrance free but what little you smell dissipates after you rub it in. I will continue buying this lotion and hope the formula doesn’t change or they stop making it.

Seems to be really good! It’s not greasy and absorbs into my skill very well. I have sensitive skin and eczema, and even tho my skin right now is very dry it didnt burn. The only downside is that it doesn’t have the most pleasant smell. If you want you can put a scented lotion over to cover the smell. For me the smell it’s not bad but it’s not good

I used to get a lot of peeling with tretinoin, even at the lowest 0.025% concentration. My makeup would cling to the flakes and look awful by the end of the day. I tried so many moisturizers, but none made enough of a difference, so I eventually stepped down to a gentler retinoid (retinal 0.2%) because the flaking from tret was so frustrating.Then someone recommended using this product alongside tretinoin to help with dryness and flaking. I eased my way back into tretinoin slowly while using this product at night. During the first few weeks, I experienced some mild stinging, prickling, and itchiness right after application, but my skin never became red or inflamed.Within the first few nights, I noticed a real difference. At the time, I was using tretinoin once per week and retinal 0.2% on the other nights. By morning, my skin looked so smooth and glowy. My makeup applied beautifully, like I finally had a smooth, hydrated canvas instead of dry patches for foundation to cling to.Since I had no visible irritation, I eventually started using it in the morning too. After about a month of consistent morning-and-night use, the stinging sensation went away completely. I have now added a second tretinoin night each week and still have not experienced the peeling or irritation I used to get.I am very happy with how soft and comfortable my skin feels, but the biggest difference has been in how much better my foundation looks throughout the day. Another unexpected benefit: I have not had a pimple or breakout in over a month, including around my cycle. I normally get hormonal breakouts around my chin before my period, but I did not experience that this past cycle. It may be the combination of this product and tretinoin, but either way, I am thrilled.I have also cautiously started using it on my neck and chest a few times per week. So far, I have had no irritation, and the skin there looks softer and smoother as well. I was tempted to try the 15% version, but this formula is working so well for me that I plan to stick with it. The bottle also lasts a long time because I only use a small amount on my face and use a separate lotion for my body.As for the scent, I use only about one-third of a pump to a dime-sized amount for my face. I can smell it during application, but the scent fades quickly and does not linger. I also love the lightweight, thin consistency. It spreads very easily, absorbs well, and does not leave behind a sticky feeling.Overall: This has been a game-changer for helping me tolerate tretinoin without the usual flaking. My skin looks smoother, more hydrated, and more even, and my makeup has never looked better.

To the people complaining the bottle isn't filled to the rim:It's measured by weight, not volume. More importantly, they intentionally leave space because you need to shake it. It states so directly on the bottle.This lotion has been working out great for me. The areas I apply it are feeling so soft & supple. It has a slight scent that I'm not sure how to describe (sorry), but it's light enough not to bother me.I specifically bought this for it's gentle exfoliation. One problem area is my neck; where, in recent years, I've gotten bumpy skin. Almost like a chicken skin. I saw some derms recommend this for that & I do think it may be helping some.I recommend giving this a try. Don't forget to shake!

I’ve been using this for years, it’s always been effective, had the typical lactic acid smell (faint plain Greek yogurt) that not everyone vibes with and a regular lotion feel like Cerave moisturizing lotion or Vanicream moisturizing lotion. This most recent purchase is different. There’s no lactic acid smell that I can tell BUT the lotion now looks and feels runny, like a skin serum fluid/emulsion. This makes me paranoid that my product is counterfeit/watered down so I’ll be purchasing my next one from the actual store to compare.

Ive used cetaphil for a long time and really like it. I started using this and I like it as well. Before using I noticed some areas on my skin that were crepey and sort of felt like my skin was rough and this has helped. I have purchased a second one and will continue to purchase again.It does have an odor but it doesn't last long. It's not greasy and does absorb well into the skin. It doesn't irritate the skin.

Fantastic moisturiser! Is lightweight and not remotely greasy m, yet provides incredible hydration and leaves skin with a glass like appearance.

V. Good for moisturising your skin

I bought this as it was recommended by a dermatologist. It really is gentle, active and good value as a little goes a long way. I noticed my skin, smoother, hydrated and glowing after a very short time. I use it twice a week and use tretinoin twice a week.

Love this body lotion! It moisturises without being greasy and leaves your body super soft. It has no fragrance so it is suitable for my extremely sensitive skin . I've tried other body lotions from the pharmacy but either they had fragrance or they were too greasy . It has been only a month but I can already see a remarkable improvement in my skin condition.

I have dry skin and this lotion greatly helps me. Its very moisturizing but it doesn’t have a pleasant scent. Aside from the scent its a very good moisturizer.
