**Full Disclosure: I received AmLactin products for review purposes. No other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I am so picky about all sorts or things – lotion & creams are one of them. I don’t like a lotion that’s TOO “lotion-y.” I want something that’s thick and absorbs well without being leaving that just-lotioned feeling. In the past, I’ve found it’s hard to find something that fits my criteria. I got to test out the entire line of AmLactin, but before I tell you what I thought, let me give you a little info about the product(s).
About:
AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion – has a special formula with clinically proven 12% lactic acid that’s pH-balanced for the skin. Don’t let the word “acid” concern you. Especially since lactic acid is a naturally occurring humectant for the skin with a certain affinity for water molecules to help keep skin hydrated. And the more moisture that can be retained deep within the skin, the softer and smoother your skin feels.
AmLactin® Cerapeutic™ Restoring Body Lotion – combines our clinically proven, intensely hydrating, triple action, patented ULTRAPLEX®formula to gently exfoliate, and three essential ceramides to quickly strengthen the skin’s protective moisture barrier. So what’s in it for you? Noticeably softer, more resilient skin. With regular use, long-lasting locked-in moisture helps prevent dry skin from returning.
AmLactin® Ultra Hydrating Body Cream – is specifically formulated for severe, persistently dry skin areas needing extra attention. With our patented ULTRAPLEX® formula, this clinically proven cream gently exfoliates and intensely hydrates for long-lasting moisture and serious relief.
AmLactin® Foot Cream – Recognized as the ultimate dry skin treatment, our triple-action alpha-hydroxy therapy works to transform extraordinarily dry skin into the smooth, soft skin of movie stars. All by promoting natural skin cell renewal through exfoliation. AmLactin® Foot Cream utilizes our ULTRAPLEX® formulation to create one of the best dry skin creams available.
After reading a little about AmLactin, does it sound like something you’d like to try?
What I Thought:
- AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion – The first thing I notice about the body lotion is that I don’t love the bottle – I really had to shake the lotion to get it to move. This lotion is thinner, but easy to rub it. It has a little of that oily feel that lotions can leave, but it’s not nearly as bad as some other lotions and I could really only feel it on my hand. Once my skin absorbed the lotion, I couldn’t really tell it was there.
- AmLactin® Cerapeutic™ Restoring Body Lotion – I love that this lotion has a pump on it. This one is my least favorite – it has a definite oily-lotion feeling to it and smells kind of funny. And, a little goes a long way – I used half a pump and managed to lotion up my entire arm! I could feel this lotion on my skin for quite awhile after I applied it.
- AmLactin® Ultra Hydrating Body Cream – This cream is VERY thick – it feels a lot like butter. A little goes a LONG way, and you’ll probably look a little like a ghost when you first apply it! But, it’s nice! Very smooth and not too “lotion-y.” I like to use this one on my legs when I get out of the shower. You’ll have to squeeze quite hard before you see the body cream. I like the container the body cream comes in.
- AmLactin® Foot Cream – Another very thick cream, but it leaves your feet feeling silky smooth without the oily lotion feel of other brands. The foot cream rubs in easily. I like the bottle the foot cream comes in.
- Most AmLactin products have a safety seal under the lid (the exception is the Restoring Body Lotion). Make sure you remove that before you try to apply your lotion/cream!
- Would I recommend AmLactin? YES!

Sara, when I was in the hospital with my leg infection a nurse recommended this brand to me. She is diabetic and says it works really well for diabetic people who need to keep their lower extremities (legs and feet) healthy.
That’s great to know! Have you tried it?
I’ve never heard of it before either. But this is such a wonderful and honest review, thank you! I am checking out their site right now!
The body cream sounds like it would be perfect for my son’s eczema! I will have to give it a try and thanks for the tip on the coupon!
