I have very dry skin, especially on my legs. I have used Amlactin lotion. It didn't work for me; after few hours my skin was dry again. It also smells awful, it is sticky, and it does not absorb quickly. I wouldn't recommend it!

This is the best lotion in the world for dry feet and elbows. It doesn't smell nice and it's not for anywhere else. If you want something that is a good moisturizer and smells nice, try anything from the Ahava line. That works great too.

The worst part of this lotion is the smell. It is the non-prescription strength equivalent to LacHydrin, which was recommend to me by a doctor for dry skin. Nothing (Aveeno, Eurecin, Nivea, Jergens, etc) sold in a store has had the effects on my skin that this lotion has. My legs used to be cracked from dryness, now they are hydrated and supple. My arms used to have large dry patches, no more. If you are looking to alleviate dry skin, Amlactin and Cetaphil will leave your skin soft, hydrated and feeling 100% better, with no prescriptions necessary.

I use this (alternating) with Carmol 20 on my feet--no more calluses, cracks, etc. Apply it and then wear cotton socks. Also, apply it a few hours or the night before you shave your legs. No more itchy, bumpy legs. A great exfoliator.

This is the most wonderful moisturizer I have ever used. My dermatologist recommended it to me for my very dry skin. It is the only thing that has softened my feet and elbows. If your skin becomes sticky, it is because you used too much. I use it sparingly, and have never experienced a sticky feeling. Unlike those 'other' lotions in the store, you don't have to bathe in it to get the benefit of moisture.

I have used this product for KP on my arms and legs. But, it is very sticky and the results weren't as desirable. I like the Neutrogena Smooth Skin Lotion much better.

This is the best lotion I've ever used. I have had painfully dry skin since childhood. I had an oncologist recommend this to me at the age of 12. I welcome what others call the sticky, non-absorbing affect because my skin is so dry that using this lotion is the only time my skin feels truly moist. It totally removes the bumps from the back of my arms.

I have dry skin and those common bumps on the back of my arms. This is the only product that has alleviated these two problems. I agree that the smell and greasy nature of the product are unfortunate, but if you want a product that really works, this is it. One thing I noticed is that if you miss one or two days of using this product, the bumps return.

I have moderate eczema that flares up during cold weather. AmLactin (plus a humidifier running 24/7) have gone a long way towards relieving my dry skin. The lotion does take a while to absorb, but not as long as other waxy dry skin potions like Eucerin. The ammonia smell goes away after a bit, too--or can be covered by a reasonable dose of perfume or other scented product. AmLactin is worth the cost and the minor nuisance of scent and stickiness because it has staying power--you can wash your hands multiple times and they will still be soft.

This product is great for getting rid of those small bumps on the back of your arms. It is the only thing (including prescription stuff) that has worked for me. It does take awhile to absorb. However, I think it is worth it in order to have soft smooth skin.
