As an African-American that has suffered with extremely dry skin, eczema, keratosis pilaris and dark discolorations since childhood, I have tried every cleanser and moisturizer you can think of and nothing has helped me the way Amlactin has. NOTHING! This is the only product that has ever significantly softened my skin, faded my dark patches and got those ugly bumps off of my elbows. I have only used it twice a day for six months now and I've seen a huge difference! For the first time in my life I feel comfortable enough to wear short sleeves. It is well worth the price.

This is the most effective lotion I've found for dry skin in our desert climate. This was recommended to me by the Skin Cancer & Dermatology Center. It's difficult to find here. Costco used to be the only place I could find it, so I'm excited to find it on the drugstore.com website!

This is the best lotion I have ever used. I am a nurse and I wash my hands a lot. It is one of the few products the keeps my hands from chapping and seems to stay on in between washings. I recommend this to anyone with a problem with dry skin.

The company says this product is #1 recommended moisturizer by Dermatologists & Podiatrists, and I believe it. AmLactin smoothed my rough heels, and the bumpy skin patches caused by keratosis pilaris. It has also been an excellent hand moisturizer for me. It prevents the flaking and cracking if I use it everyday. Worked much better for me than Eucerin, Lubriderm and others. A little goes a long way so it's an excellent value

I too use this for bumps on my upper arms. It works great when I can bring myself to use it regularly. But it smells horrible (I tried adding a few drops of lavender essential oil to the bottle; it helped a little, but not much). It is also very greasy feeling and takes a long time to fully absorb. Lac-Hydrin 5 seems to work not quite as well, but with slightly less offensive scent and slightly less greasiness. It's kind of a no-win situation. I have found that exfoliating like crazy helps me be able to use this less often - I alternate days using this lotion or using a pumice scrub on my bumpy arms in the shower (don't do both, AmLactin stings like crazy if applied right after a serious exfoliating)

This is the only thing that has taken care of the bumps on my upper arms. The instructions call for twice-daily usage, but I use it once every day or two. A little goes a long way. Some have commented on the smell, but honestly I have not noticed any perceptible scent at all. Looking forward to some sleeveless shirts this summer, whoo hoo!!!

I purchased this to help with the Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms. It was okay, but Lac-hydrin Five works much better. Would recommend that over AmLactin.

Aside from the smell, this stuff is great. It works great on KP (keratosis pilaris), otherwise known as those little red bumps on the back of your arms, or in my case, thighs. This really smooths my skin out...but like the other user said...if I stop using it, they come back in a few weeks. Great product, just wished it smelled a bit better.

Along with LacHydrin 12, this is the best moisturizer I have ever used. My skin is hydrated, even toned and exceptionally soft. My stretch marks are less visible and the skin on my knees, elbows and buttocks is no longer dark, rough and discolored. My skin just glows. For someone who grew up with ugly dry skin, I now get non-stop compliments. This is a fabulous product, especially for ethnic skin. The cream version is even better.

This is the only product that has worked for the KP on my arms and thighs. With consistent use, the little red bumps disappeared. I've had this condition since childhood and Amlactin is the only product that has worked for me. I'm really happy that finally, I, too, could have smooth skin on my arms. Although, once stopped, the bumps will return.
