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

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’ve been using AmLactin Daily Nourish Therapeutic Body Lotion, and I can definitely see why it’s so highly recommended. I first heard about it from a dermatologist I follow on Instagram, who speaks very highly of it, so I decided to give it a try. The 12% lactic acid gently exfoliates dead skin while deeply moisturizing, and the results have been amazing. After just a short time, my arms and legs look noticeably smoother, softer, and have a healthy glow that I wasn’t getting from regular body lotion. I love that it exfoliates without any scrubbing, making it easy to incorporate into my routine. The only downside is the scent. It has a strong ammonia-like smell when you first apply it, which isn’t pleasant. Thankfully, the odor fades once the lotion dries and a little time has passed, so it hasn’t been a dealbreaker for me. Overall, the results far outweigh the temporary smell. My skin has never looked or felt better, and I’ll definitely be adding this to my daily skincare routine. If you’re dealing with dry, rough skin and want smoother, glowing skin, this lotion is absolutely worth trying.

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.

I was interested in trying AmLactin mainly for the exfoliating factor. My skin is always prone to ingrown hairs, so I wanted something that could help me out with that. After using it for some time, I would say that this product is not bad. In my opinion, it's a bit greasy and there's a slight chemical smell that you can't ignore. But it definitely does the job. Before buying this product, I was super nervous about the smell that people were claiming ruined it for them...I think people are just super sensitive. Yes, it's there but I let my skin air dry and it quickly goes away. Don't let people trick you into thinking it smells like expired yogurt...that's insane lol I don't believe I've used this lotion long enough to decide if I'll buy it again. But so far my skin feels soft and moisturized!

I love this lotion!!! As I've aged my skin has become dry and flaky, including my face and this lotion is a god send. I apply it after I shower and have discovered that a little goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. I read precautions about applying to the face after shaving and yes, it lightly stings but only for a few seconds and then feels great. I also don't notice any offensive odor...it's just unscented. It quickly absorbs into the skin giving it a fresh glow. I'm a fan for life.

Its got a strong smell, but it fades after a few minutes. Smells kind of like a perm. The smell doesn't bother me too much but it is there. I still give it 5 stars because of how great my skin looks after regular use. Its night and day. Its smoother and has less darks spots, and looks younger. I've had one too many sunburns but this has taken years off the appearance of my arms, and completely erased my KP as well. Layer it with Gold Bond Retinol body lotion and you'll get amazing results FAST.

I honestly do you like this solution I was doing some research when I came across it and it does say number one dermatologist recommended so of course I had to try nonetheless I’ve been liking the results so far it’s very moisturizing and honestly that’s what I’m looking for the most and I did research that it helps with your skin barrier as a proteins to smoothing out your skin and boot skin cells as well I’d honestly take a try on it

Pros: ACTUALLY WORKS! Doesn't sting my skin (some others may have more sensitive skin, though). Cons: Smell is "eh" at best and sometimes there's a hint of an ammonia type smell, but it dissipates pretty quick. Takes a bit to rub in. I figured I would give this a try and wasn't disappointed. I've struggled with dry skin for my whole life (super flaky and scaly skin at the worst, like no amount of scrubbing would get the flakes off - I believe it's a mild form of ichthyosis). I've tried the oatmeal lotions, the daily moisturizer lotions, the bulk (I'll drown you in moisture), Aveeno, Lubriderm, Aquaphor, Suave, etc. Nothing helped get rid of it. There would be relief (less itching after showers, temporary appearance improvement), but it wouldn't actually get the scales or flakes to LEAVE. I saw another review (I think for the intensive version rather than the daily) that showed the same kind of skin flakiness I have and an actual improvement. Same active ingredients (didn't want to pay THAT price), and I figured I would try to actually apply each day to REALLY give it a chance. Tried it on my arms every day and the flakes really started lifting up after a few days, and there were fewer and fewer as it went on. I moved to my legs and other parts of my body after that and I'm telling you, it's crazy how the right tool for the job is true here. It is a bit oily or greasy in a way, but if you take the time to rub it in, it's not really an issue - I haven't seen any effects on my clothes. My skin has never felt so soft and like regular skin, I finally get to feel normal! Everyone's skin is different, so your mileage may vary, but this is going on subscribe and save for me.

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

BEST OFF ! Peau éclatante, hydratée, lisse et belle ! Teint unifié !! Ravie ravie d’avoir découvert ce merveilleux produit ! Il n’a pas de parfum donc sent un peu le défrisant pour cheveux (à faible dose). Mais qu’importe, le produit est trop bon. !

V. Good for moisturising your skin

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.
