Daily Nourish Therapeutic Body Lotion for Dry Skin - No-Scrub Exfoliator and Moisturizer - AmLactin 12% Lactic Acid Lotion, 7.9 oz (Packaging May Vary)

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 started using this lotion because my skin was feeling really dry and rough, especially on my arms and legs, and this made a noticeable difference after about a week of consistent use. It feels richer than a regular lotion but still absorbs pretty quickly and doesn’t leave me feeling sticky. The biggest thing I noticed was how much smoother my skin felt. It helped with those dry, bumpy areas that regular moisturizer never seemed to fix. I also like that a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts awhile. The scent is mild and kind of clinical, which may not be everyone’s favorite, but it fades pretty fast. Overall, this has become one of my go-to lotions when my skin needs extra help, especially during colder weather or after shaving.

I’m honestly impressed with this lotion. Within just a couple of days of using it, my skin felt noticeably softer and smoother. It really helped with rough, bumpy texture (especially on my arms), and my skin looks healthier overall. The formula is lightweight but still very moisturizing, and it absorbs pretty quickly without feeling greasy. It does have a slight scent (kind of clinical), but it fades after application and isn’t a dealbreaker for me considering how well it works. If you struggle with dry or textured skin, this is definitely worth trying. It works fast and actually delivers results.

If you can get past the fact that you’ll smell slightly like a cup of Greek yogurt for a few minutes, this stuff is a lifesaver. I have sensitive skin and struggle with eczema, so skin compatibility is usually a nightmare for me, but this caused zero irritation. The absorption is impressive—it sinks in quickly and leaves absolutely no greasiness, which is rare for something this moisturizing. The skin feel afterward is incredibly smooth, but I will say the quantity feels a bit stingy given the price point. You’re definitely paying for the "therapeutic" results rather than a bulk supply, so use it sparingly. 10/10 for the results, 1 star knock off because my wallet is crying a little.

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.

AmLactin 12% moisturizer now comes in "new & improved" packaging, however it is no longer stated anywhere on the bottle what the percentage of Lactic Acid is that consumers are purchasing. I feel that this is misleading and confusing, as there is no way to trust what I am buying or putting on my skin. I am not willing to take this risk, especially since I use it on my face, and will no longer purchase AmLactin. There are other brands that clearly state the percentage on the packaging, so my money will be spent elsewhere.

I’m giving this product five stars for now. I just got it today. I put some on my arms when I opened it and, for me, there was absolutely no smell. I discovered that you dont need much because it’s thin and goes on easily. I would say it feels greasy but it did sink in fairly quick. Once on, it was dry and not sticky. The amazing thing is that my arms feel smoother already. I have those dry bumps on my arms and regular moisturizer does nothing. So far I’m really happy with this product.

This feels a little sticky when. Initially applied but it definitely keeps my skin hydrated and I love it for that. It has a weird scent initially kinda like paste but then it quickly goes away so in the long run you could say it is fragrance free.

Amazing lotion. The softness lasts. Diminishes wrinkes

Finding this harder to source - but super skin treatment.

Excelente crema hidratante! Después de una investigación en internet buscando una buena crema hidratante me topé que muchas personas recomendaban esta crema y también. La empezaré a recomendar. Es muy buena, realmente hidrata y ayuda mucho a la piel, es muy fácil de manipular y el cuerpo la absorbe muy rápido, dejando la piel muy sueca e hidratada. El único detalle que veo es que su olor no es del todo agradable, pero es una crema principalmente para cuerpo por lo que no le veo tanto problema e igual solo la utilizo por las noches. Esta crema es difícil de encontrar en México por lo que encontrarla en Amazon y vendida también por Amazon fue un gran alivio ya que así me aseguro que es original y llegara rápido. La recomiendo mucho.

Si tienes queratosis pilaris, funciona muy bien.

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.
