AmLactin Intensive Healing Lotion

5/21 Update: The product is still working very well for me and I use it pretty much daily. It has made such a difference for my feet. Originally purchased 3/21 - I used this lotion 2x a day for about 2 weeks and now I am down to 1x a day or even every other day. My feet were rough and peeling like crazy as they do all the time. I had a Dr prescribe me something years ago that kind of worked on the peeling, but the cost of continued use and the small amount prescribed at a time made it a pain to use. The AmLactin just worked so much better and the size of this bottle will last for a while so the value is much better. I couldn't be happier. It seemed to absorb just fine. The only caution would be that when I was using it 2x a day and put it on at night and then showered in the morning, the bottoms of my feet were very slick getting into the shower for a couple minutes. As the title of my review suggest my feet went from somewhat of an embarrassment to something I have no problem having out in the open. The skin looks so much better and feels so much softer now. I will definitely keep using it. As far as the smell people are reporting, I can smell a slight odor when I apply it, but it's on my feet so the only time I smell it is when I apply it. I wash my hands after applying it so I never smell it again. For me, it's not a strong smell even when applying it. I know others have said it's like cat pee and ammonia and it's real strong. It's a unique smell, I don't own cats so I have no idea if that's the same or not, but again, I don't think it's that strong. Maybe if I had to use it on my arms or something like that I may smell it more and be more self-conscious about it, but the results for me I'm pretty sure I'd still use it either way.

Look, I won't lie—this lotion smells kind of weird, almost like Elmer's glue. But it is the ONLY thing that has ever helped my ichthyosis and scaly skin. I’ve used it for years after my showers, and my skin is smooth. 10/10 will keep buying.

My skin feels amazing after this lotion. I really don’t felt that strong smell that everyone says about it. If your skin is wet it smells more but goes away really quickly. So I use after shower and dry myself really good and almost can’t smell a thing. The results are amazing with your first day of use. I liked so much Thai order another one. I got the pump on dark blue.

This is probably a quality lotion but I cannot get past the smell. Goes on thick and a bit “oily” which isn't too bad bc skin looks shiny. Very medicinal smell which is not great when i take a nice shower and want to feel clean and fresh. Cant use it in mornings when going anywhere bc of smell, and don't want to use it at night bc makes clothes and covers smelly. Only use if really need it.

I have struggled with extremely dry, itchy, flaky skin for as long as I can remember, and after 36 years, I can honestly say this is the softest my skin has ever felt. Most lotions either sit on top of my skin or only provide temporary relief, but this one actually absorbs well and keeps my skin moisturized all day. My skin is also soft the next day! It’s best to put it on damp skin after you shower. It is unscented which I love! My rough, flaky patches have improved so much, and my skin feels smooth and comfortable instead of tight and itchy. If you deal with stubborn dry skin, I highly recommend giving this lotion a try. It has definitely earned a permanent spot in my routine!

Works wonders. I have skin that falls off in scales if I do not moisturize on a regular basis. Most lotions don't do anything at all for me, but make it look better for the 1st hour after application. I typically apply this right out of the shower onto almost wet skin and see a huge difference in my skin. Since starting this routine, my scales have gone away. On occasion when I don't use it, my skin seems overall better than prior to the start of using it. Although, I do apply after each shower regularly. I do not like the feel of ANY moisturizer, hence the scales to go with my overly dry skin. This one is no different in how I feel with it on, especially in warm weather. To help this, I typically avoid applying it on the inside of my elbows & backs of my knees as these are the most annoying places for it to be applied. And applying it to wet or damp skin does help it absorb. Some people's reviews say it has a bad smell. Either my nose does not work or they have updated that issue. Smells fine to me.

Used to only use the daily. I got this one because I needed a stronger version to hopefully aid in reducing dark scaring. It is very thick and a bit stronger smelling than the daily. I’m not sure it’s helping a lot with the scars but this product has always helped with skin bumps and this bottle will last me a long time.

I have used this lotion and it is as the name says, an intesive healing body lotion. I had just about finished one bottle so I ordered another. Unfortunately the bottle I ordered came with a broken pump...pieces were missing so it could not be pumped. Fortunately I was able to transfer the pump out of the bottle I had been using and placed onto the new bottle. It should not have been mailed with a damaged pump.

I don’t know if it works

Amazing! Skin felt so much better afterwards and more like my skin should feel. Can cause irritation if you have any sensitive spots. Ie from shaving etc so do be careful with that.

Great Product! The smell is not so much off-putting anymore.

Inmiddels gebruik ik deze lotion ruim een week nu voor mijn door de jaren heen beschadigde, schilferige, droge en vooral dunne huid. Zoals ik al las staat deze lotion bekend om weer volume terug te kunnen brengen in de huid. Het hydraterende van deze lotion werkt vanaf dag één, en dit tweede effect wacht ik de komende tijd af. Twee flessen is prima om het lang genoeg te proberen in ieder geval. De lotion is mild, zowel in het gezicht als op het lichaam, trekt compleet in in een redelijke tijd en gemakkelijk te gebruiken.

Only problem is the smell!
