Customer Reviews of AmLactin Moisturizing Body Lotion, 14.1-Ounces
Customer Review: This lotion mositurizes - PERIOD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have severely dry skin and suffer from "Winter Itch." I've tried humidifiers; quick, lukewarm showers; allergy medicine; staying hydrated, etc...all with varying degrees of success. I tried a few other lotions but came across this one, having read that it has a couple of different active ingredients that are better for moisturizing your skin. The reviews are not lying about this lotion; it works - period. The lotion itself feels different from other lotions, not as creamy, and yet once you rub it on, your skin immediately gets a nice shine and just feels moisturized. I rub this on right after a shower and never have to re-apply again until my next shower; seriously, I've worked out and done strenuous activities and this lotion doesn't quit (Won't survive constant hand sanitizer use but what can?). And you don't need too much of it, unlike other lotions. I'm done with other lotions, and strongly recommend that, if you have severely dry skin, don't bother with anything but this lotion.
Customer Review: Pretty darn good!
Summary: 3 Stars
I tried this lotion after reading about it in an article on msnbc. I have a form of ichthyosis (specifically, X-linked ichthyosis) and the girl in the article had another type. Nevertheless, I still wanted to try it. Now I have already found a MIRACLE lotion, but it is a little pricey ($30 a bottle) and you have to SPECIAL order it. When I got this lotion, I thought I had ordered the souped-up, 12% version, but I guess I didn't. I used it for a few days and it seemed to peel the top layer of my skin, which is exactly what I wanted. But recently I picked up a tube of Gold Bond Ultimate Skin Therapy Lotion, Healing, Aloe, 6.875 oz , (Pack of 3)(from Walmart, no less!) for $5! Did as good a job if not better! But I still give the AmLactin purchase from Walmart an A!Customer Review: Very odd....

Someone gave me a bottle of this lotion before, and it was like a miracle on my ultra-dry skin. It stung a little upon application but worked almost instantly to give me baby soft, glowing skin. It smelled bad, but I assumed it was due to the fact that the product was almost expired according to the date. I threw it away shortly thereafter.
A year later, I bought this from Costco. It smells a lot better (hardly any smell), and expiration date is a long way off, but the lotion seems more watery, and doesn't seem to work at all! In fact, it seems no better than any other watery lotion without any alpha hydroxy. It also doesn't sting at all. Perplexed. Wondering if they changed the formula, or if this is some knock-off. May try buying from elsewhere just to compare, or else will ask my dermatologist. Disappointed.
Customer Review: So far So good
Summary: 4 Stars
My esthetician recommended this for me to deal with an acne-like condition on my arms. I've been using it for a couple of months and it gets the job done. It also has helped slightly with stretch marks. I notice if I use it a lot it softens my skin, but I have to be regular which would take a lot of the product (like everyday after a shower) and since this product is expensive I don't use it as much as I would a regular body lotion. I am acne prone and can only use this product on my arms and places I don't get acne. Not on face, back or chest. Still good product for the $ and my arm skin is smooth. This stuff does what coco butter should. One downside is the weird amonia smell but it goes away pretty quickly.Customer Review: Doesn't work for Keratosis Pilaris
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used this product for Keratosis Pilaris Rubra (KPR - the type of KP that involves reddish bumps) all over my arms. Unfortunately, it makes the inflammation worse. While it (perhaps) may be good for Keratosis Pilaris Alba (the type of KP that doesn't have redness on/around the bumps), it worsens my type of KP since it inflames the skin. Produced a rash on my arms that put me through itchy, painful, burning hell for a week. It hurt my skin so bad.
On a positive note: Good moisturizer though. Just worthless treatment for KP.
What a waste of much needed money and hope for a cure for this darned skin ailment! :o(
