AmLactin Ultra Smoothing Alpha Hydroxy Therapy Intensely Hydrating Cream 4.9 oz.

Very good cream did the job would buy again

it smells not good ! And not so efficient, indeed, I don't know if i take some ine the future.

My husband is a podiatrist and was writing prescriptions for Amlactin for his patients with severely dry skin before it was available over-the-counter. Since then it can be purchased without a prescription, but he still recommends it highly and gives samples of it to his patients. I LOVE this stuff personally and so does he. We have a ton of it and never run out. it's great for people with vascular disease, diabetes, and other disorders which cause dry skin, including disorders such as hypothyroidism and just plain dry skin due to weather, sun exposure or whatever. I like this version better than the Amlactin XL because it absorbs into the skin quicker and it is not as thick. It seems a little more creamy than the XL. ALL Amlactin products are fantastic.....just depends on what you are wanting or using it for. The lotion, of course, absorbs the fastest. My husband & I especially like to use Amlactin on our hands. It keeps my fingernails from being brittle, as I do have hypothyroidism. Its a great after sun lotion too, to prevent the peeling you often get. I just can't say enough good things about this stuff. I am a nurse & my husband & I are both members of the American Professional Wound Care Association. When we go to wound care conferences, we often go to the Amlactin booth and pick up as many samples as we can get our hands on. They have many products. All of their lotions are available over-the-counter. No.....we are not paid endorsers.....just big fans of this lotion.

A sample of this was given to me by an MD. It works! Every winter, I don’t know why, I live in Texas and I don’t use a lot of dry, forced air heat, but the backs of my hands get so dry the skin covering them will crack and bleed. I’ve tried a bunch of different hand lotions. The only thing which helped was Vaseline! I applied that at bedtime. But this is better. It soaks in and is not as greasy as petroleum jelly so when it touches bedsheets or whatever, it’s really no issue. There seems to be some ingredient in it which makes the skin it’s applied to... stretchable! Not just soft and smooth. Yes, I have to occasionally reapply but right from my first application I achieved lasting results within hours! It costs a couple bucks more than most other hand creams (crèmes?) but Amlactin works and for me those others don’t. This company has another product with that name. It comes in the usual upright hand lotion container. It’s not the same; it’s not as thick, it’s not as strong. I recommend the Ultra in the tube. I keep it in my nightstand.

Pricey but worth it. Didn't expect much, but nearly cleared up keratosis in like 3 days. I had a prescription to treat it that didn't work as well as this. I used it at night and sometimes in the morning. Works the best if you exfoliate in the shower then put it on. It says it makes you more sun sensitive and I'm sure it does, but if I put it on in the morning and wait a few hours, I have no problem at the beach - I'm fair skinned. Doesn't smell bad. Maybe a little odd when you first put it on - not a flowery lotion so no lingering smell good or bad. There is a subscribe and save option for this bottle that saves you a little if you plan on using it to treat keratosis - you have to keep putting it on, not like a permanent treatment. NOTE: this is a very thick version, I got the non-ultra in the green bottle that is a bit cheaper and just alternate the two - same results.

I don't know how the exfoliating properties of this cream will compare to 2 others I have from Amlactin and two from another major brand all used for body and feet. I was immediately impressed with the texture, absorbance and Very long - lasting moisturizing effects of this cream on my hands. The moisturizer seems completely absorbed into the skin, with no greasy or waxy residual feel. It doesn't just wash off the first time you wash your hands, like so many. With my perpetually dry hands, where the thickened skin on my fingers and thumbs regularly splits open...the quest for an effective and long-lasting moisturizer, for my hands, at least, may be over.

I have keratosis pilaris and have been trying to find a solution for years. I had tried countless moisturizing products and exfoliation products. I even tried Korea Italy towels after reading so many great things about them from others with KP - nothing groundbreaking. After about 3-4 days of using AmLactin, the results were drastic. This is the FIRST product I have found that actually works on my condition. This is the first time in my life since the age of 12 that my arms and legs are silky smooth. It's worth noting that the smell of this product is not attractive. It isn't losing a star for smelling like ammonia since that is one of the active ingredients, and clearly it works. It is not a miracle cure, but it is effective treatment for extremely dry and bumpy skin. After using this consistently for 1-2 weeks, I enjoyed the benefits for another 1-2 weeks before I really had to reapply.
