Product Overview
The manufacturer of this product claims it is formulated as a body lotion that can be used daily to relieve rough and dry skin, making it a good option for those suffering from keratosis pilaris. This lotion is supposed to exfoliate as well as hydrate your skin intensely all in one go.
The product claims to encourage the renewal of skin cells naturally due to the exfoliating action of the active ingredient, namely 12% lactic acid, which has been pH-balanced for the skin. Thus, the lactic acid removes a layer of the stratum corneum, thereby encouraging the production of new skin cells. The creamy emollients the product contains help to make skin feel soft and smooth According to the company, this product works deep within your skin and ensures moisture retention for the long-term so that you’ll get the results you want and maintain them.
In terms of keratosis pilaris, the manufacturer claims lactic acid-based moisturizers are often recommended by experts because lactic acid doesn’t just slough away dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. They claim it can also penetrate into the pores and loosen the dead skin cells that form the plugs causing the bumps we are all so familiar with, thereby “melting” the plug.
Since dry skin is a symptom of keratosis pilaris, the moisturizing aspect of the treatment that attracts water molecules into the skin leads to skin that appears softer and smoother.
AmLactin 12% Moisturizing Body Lotion is available in 7.9 oz, 14.1 oz, 17.6 oz and 20 oz bottles with pumps.
