December 28, 2007, 11:27 pm this product resolves annoying beauty issues such as 'chicken skin' (keratosis pilaris) by using a nicely formulated lactic acid. it keeps those annoying bumps on my arms and thighs at bay as well as to help with any ingrown hairs. the product is also a great moisturizer -- i use it on my feet at night and cover with cotton socks to rid myself of dry, cracked heels. i even use it in a foot soak with epsom salts as part of my in-home pedicure process. it is very efficient at removing built up calluses without any chance of over-sloughing. this is a staple in my lotion collection and the price point is significantly better than the high priced gimmicky products which make the same claims,4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

No Bumps
by GoddessB (2 reviews)This is well worth the price,about $12, but it is the ONLY treatment that worked for me when it came to getting rif of those ugly red bumps on my upper arms.

May 20, 2008, 4:02 pm This is well worth the price,about $12, but it is the ONLY treatment that worked for me when it came to getting rif of those ugly red bumps on my upper arms. I thought they were pimples, yuck!! With summer approaching, I wear a lot of sleeveless tops and I was so embarrassed by the bumps on my arms. I never had acne, ANYWHERE and I did not know what this was, so I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked until I tried AMLACTIN.Within a couple of days it was gone and now the scarring is clearing up, too. I stopped using the AMLACTIN for a few days to try another AHA lotion by Dove and it all came crashing back, ugh!!! So it's AMLACTIN all the way for me. It doesn't smell that great, but the scent vanishes within a minbute or 2 and it is the best for getting rifd of those ugly bumps.3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Reall need to use it consistently
by elizabasti (76 reviews)
This stuff stings my skin when I first apply it, and if I go several days without using it? then my KP comes back sometimes even worse! I've also discovered that it makes the skin on my arms actually "breakout" because of the mineral oil in the ingredients. And, it smells so unbecoming, and the odor stays in my sh... March 26, 2008, 11:35 am This stuff stings my skin when I first apply it, and if I go several days without using it? then my KP comes back sometimes even worse! I've also discovered that it makes the skin on my arms actually "breakout" because of the mineral oil in the ingredients. And, it smells so unbecoming, and the odor stays in my sheets until I wash them.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Ineffective for moderate KP and smells bad
by Jenner (24 reviews)If your KP is moderate or worse (thankfully mine isn't) you have to use this every morning and every night to get even minimal results. Plus, as another reviewer stated, it smells pretty bad even though it claims to be fragrance free - not true, it has a nasty medicinal smell.

Doesnt work so fast..
by Seaglassgirl (40 reviews)
While my derm told me to try this cream, for dry rough chicken skin on my upper arms, it literally took weeks, and i didnt notice much of a difference. The product also sticks to your nails, and if you wear polish, it literally mixes with the polish and can cause it to become sticky. June 2, 2008, 7:57 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Great Product
by girlwomanbeautybrainsblog (208 reviews)

I originally bought this for my husband's ashen legs. This cream contains 12 percent lactic acid, which is an alpha-hydroxy acid, which acts as a humectant for the skin. This cream worked so well on my husband's legs, that I now sneak a squeeze of AmLactin for my legs, too. May 25, 2008, 2:07 pm1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
