AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion, 12% Lactic Acid, 14.1 oz

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 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.

This lotion is very effective and delivers noticeable results. After about three weeks of consistent use, my skin felt significantly softer, smoother and well nourished thanks to the 12% lactic acid formula. It absorbs well and works great as an overnight moisturizer, especially for dry areas. The only downside is the slightly sour, medicinal odor that lingers after application, which may not be for everyone. Because of that, I prefer using it at night. Overall, the performance is strong and the results are visible with continued use, making it a solid option for dry skin despite the scent.

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.

Got this because I heard it helps with “crepey” skin. I honestly haven’t noticed any difference when it comes to that. It seems like a good standard moisturizing hand cream. I just can’t get over the urine-like smell it leaves. At first, there is no after smell and it seems like a normal lotion. I’m not sure if it reacts with something on the skin or what, but it ends up turning into a strong urine smell. I am a nurse and I have a very keen sense of smell - and that is exactly what it smells like. I wouldn’t buy this again because of the smell…even if it does work on crepey skin.

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’ve been using this lotion to help with rough, bumpy skin, and I’m very happy with the results. After using it consistently, the bumps have improved a lot and my skin feels much smoother. I also really like that it has no strong fragrance, which makes it comfortable to use every day. The lotion absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky. Overall, this has worked really well for me, and I’m very pleased with the results.

This stuff is amazing.

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.
