AmLactin Daily Nourish 12%

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.

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 jokingly call this my "pedicure in a bottle," but honestly... it has earned the nickname. I love that I can simply apply it like a regular body lotion at bedtime and let it do the work. With consistent use, it keeps my feet, heels, elbows, and other rough areas feeling much smoother without having to constantly reach for a foot file or body scrub. It absorbs well, provides lasting hydration, and gently exfoliates over time. I appreciate that it improves my skin gradually instead of feeling harsh or abrasive. If you're looking for an easy way to keep rough, dry skin under control, this is absolutely worth trying. It's become one of those body care products I never like to be without.

This lotion is a nice size for the price making it a good value for the money. It is very moisturizing on the skin. It helps keep my legs from looking scaly and shiny. It absorbs quickly and is not greasy. The consistency is great, not too thin or too thick. I do not, however, care for the smell. I wash my hands after applying it. The smell on the skin goes away quickly though.

My favorite lotion! I wax my legs so I tend to get ingrowns but this lotion prevents me from getting them, has also gotten rid of all the marks I have on my legs. Even though it says free of fragrance it does leave a smell but nothing too bad

These ugly strawberry legs still exist, even tried the 15%. I had some not so visible bumps on my back which this did smooth out but soon as I stopped using it, bumps returned. This lotion is too expensive for continuous use. This lotion has smoothed my facial skin and the barrier feels restored. It's also smoothed out my elbows and chicken skin. I stopped using it on my arms because the keratosis was not going away but the elbows are still smooth. Lightened my inner thighs, not so much the labia majora.

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.

This lotion does an excellent job of keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day. It absorbs well and helps improve dry, rough areas over time. My skin feels softer and smoother after regular use. The large bottle lasts a long time, making it a great value. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable moisturizer.

Finding this harder to source - but super skin treatment.

This has totally changed the skin on my body for the better, no lumps and bumps left at all. Thanks Dr Dray for the recommendation.

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.
