AmLactin XL Lotion Review
This is primarily a lotion and does work on dry skin. It contains a lot of different elements that make other lotions effective, and contains ingredients that make other lotions much more expensive, however this one is set at a lower price than others. It is comparatively expensive to other lotions, but supposedly the company says it is worth the price.
Product Details:
The main important ingredient that this product advertises is lactic acid, which has been shown to help heal dry and scaly skin and improve the health of skin in general.
Pros:
– Good moisturizer
Cons:
– Expensive
– Small amount
– Does not target eczema as well as other products
Overall Impression:
This is a lotion for the rich. It really is. Standard lotions such as Lubriderm run around the same price and offer about four times the amount over this one. While it does have certain ingredients in it that other lotions do not contain, such as lactic acid, it does not work any better than other products. Lactic acid may have been shown to work well on healing damaged skin, but this lotion has not been shown by dermatologists or any kind of skin specialists to work any better than other lotions. In addition to that, this lotion is primarily a moisturizer and does not get rid of the swelling and redness that comes along with more serious skin conditions such as eczema. Finally, for its inadequacy as a treatment, it really is too expensive for most people for the amount offered. Only order if you have plenty of money to burn.

I’ve tried using this product in the past to help fade the scarring of my eczema when I was in remission- and it flared my eczema right back up again.
Lac-Hydrin 5 is much more gentle if you want to use a lactic acid to fade your scarring, and better still is using Palmer’s Skin Success Fading Cream- which has a nasty smell, but does the job wonderfully in regaining an even skin tone ONCE your eczema flare up is healed ad you’re ready to try to fix the brown spots left behind.
