AmLactin Ultra Smoothing

I love this & have been using it for over 10 yrs. It's great for very dry skin. It is very rich so I don't need much for each application & it makes my skin feel very smooth. I usually use it at night on my hands, since I wash them so often throughout the day. I have used it on other areas, but it gets expensive if I use it as a whole body lotion. It does last quite awhile. I've used other forms of Amlactin that don't smell too good, but as concentrated as this is, it doesn't have a strong odor. I'm very happy with the quality & results.

I battle eczema on my palms and feet, and use a high level cortisone topical from my dermatologist, and alone that was not enough. Amlactin 15% used daily (especially following hand washing) has been so effective. I use the cortisone cream much less frequently, and when I do, it penetrates better because there is no build up of dried, flaky skin. Yes, this has a slight odor on application (not bad in my opinion) but it dissipates quickly; not sticky when applied sparingly. The key is to use Amlactin products routinely; if you are sensitive, try the lower percentage products first, and move to the 15% products later. Great products that are effective, accessible and affordable.

Embarrassed to admit, but I struggle with folliculitis, particularly on the back of my thighs. If I get a big bump, I will put Teatree oil on it and follow it up with this lotion. The oil doesn’t burn, but this lotion packs a sting so if you have a low pain tolerance, be warned. But it doesn’t linger for very long. I must say, within just a couple of days, I noticed itching around the wound (encouraging timely healing) and it definitely balanced out the dryness that the tea tree oil caused. Everything is healing nicely. This is my second time purchasing, and will keep it in my routine for sure!

I like majority of the Amlactin lotions for tackling my KP bumps, but this one would be my least favorite. It gets the job done, but the isnt anything “ultra” about the results. I would suggest getting the daily instead if you hate feeling sticky/greasy after application. This one leaves me greasy until the following day, but I’m still giving it 4 stars because it gets the job done.

My spouse and I both work with our hands, including wet work (primarily studio art, woodwork, gardening). Many other hand creams are not effective enough and also leave hands feeling greasy and slippery. I am particularly sensitive to the greasy feeling of moisturizer (as in I will not use a product that leaves me feeling clogged and slimy). Sure, it takes a moment, but the cream absorbs well. It is enough to put it on in the evening when I have time to rub it in well. It does have a funky smell, so my children will not use it. I do not sniff my hands so it does not bother me. Once it is absorbed there is little smell. Also I wash my hands a lot so that might help with that issue. (even with all the hand washing, the moisturizing impact remains)

The only reason I bought this product is because I stumbled upon a thread from an esthetician about controlling the smell of your armpits. I learned that the cause of the smelly armpits is the bacteria in sweat and I know you’re probably wondering what does this have to do with this product... lactic acid has antibacterial properties and is very gentle on the skin + using this every day can actually help with dark armpits. I am blessed to not have dark armpits however I was not blessed to have horrific onion/Doritos smelling sweat. The day this product arrived, I was quickly getting ready for an errand and I’m not gonna lie, my armpits smelled horrific even though I took a shower last night. I was hauling a** to go run my errands so on a whim… What I did was I got a cotton pad, squeezed out a pea size amount, rubbed it on my smelly armpit and let it dry... What happened next was completely unexpected once I let it dry and I sniffed my armpit there was absolutely no smell. For a quick second I thought I had COVID-19 cause I thought I lost my sense of smell but no that wasn’t the case I smelled my coffee after just to make sure. However I had no time to see how this would last during the day so I dabbed some on my other arm pit let it dry put deodorant on top of it and went about my day. By the end of the day I smelled like nothing with just a tinge of my usual deodorant smell and it was awesome. This product isn’t really intended or marketed as an anti-perspirant (it is NOT gonna stop making you sweat) but the lactic acid in this product is gentle enough to use on your under arm area once a day or twice however my recommendation is to start three times a week and then regularly use it . I am so serious when I say this is the holy Grail of under arm care because using this in the morning before applying my deodorant has changed my life this is my holy grail.

it says fragrance-free, but the moment i squeeze out even just a tiny bit of cream, it stank so bad... the smell reminds me of rice wine (specifically shaoxing wine lol), a bit sour and yeasty smelling. in the picture you can see that it is only 2/3 full, but maybe that's normal? the texture feels fine and is moisturizing just like any other lotion, nothing special so far. however, if this cream works according to its claims, i might be able to put up with its smell and use it only at home. time will tell, i shall return with an edit later on. 10/11/23 edit + second pic: this product definitely moisturizes better than most moisturizer i've tried. overtime it has made my hands softer, and has also helped diminsh dry/dead skin around my nails. i work as a waitress and wash my hands very often, without skincare they can look and feel a bit rough. though the weird scent still lingers, it is worth trying if you aren't sensitive to smell.

I cannot believe how good this works!!! Nothing ever works on my dry skin. This is thick so I mix it with some other moisturizer so it spreads easier. My skin stays soft the entire day!! No more flakey legs! I am so impressed.

This product is remarkable. I swear by it. Clear up my baby skin in 2 days

I only received one bottle, not six!

This is misleading / fraudulent to me. The website says pack of six, why did I get one only??? Please I think it's better to update the website so you don't keep disappointing people expectations.

My daughter had a patch of allergy bumps on her leg and it helped soften and smoothen the patch
