About the AmLactin® Family of Moisturizers

The AmLactin® family of moisturizers is ideal for managing a variety of dry skin conditions including dry skin associated with Keratosis Pilaris (KP). Every AmLactin® product is formulated with emollient and humectant ingredients plus potent alpha-hydroxy therapy to exfoliate and hydrate skin, leaving it soft and smooth. The line includes AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion, AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Cream, AmLactin XL® Moisturizing Lotion for severe, dry skin and AmLactin® Foot Cream Therapy.

AmLactin XL® contains the unique (patent-pending) ULTRAPLEX® formula, which is an extra-strength blend of three moisturizing compounds that are derived from lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy moisturizer. AmLactin XL® is a clinically proven, superior moisturizer to 40% urea cream and 12% ammonium lactate lotion for severe dry skin.
