It's true what the other reviews have said about the scent. This is not aromatherapy (which I'd prefer), but it really is very effective. I used this on the recommendation of my podiatrist. I didn't expect that a thin lotion would have made such a difference on my feet. I put it on at night with socks and actually saw a difference overnight. I use regularly on my feet and it makes for pretty "sandal feet." It's good for elbows too.

This is THE best thing that I have found for the treatment of keratosis pilaris, the common skin condition that typically causes colorless bumps on the backs of the upper arms, etc. I have found that using the combo of 1/2 Amlactin 12% cream along with 1/2 of Cetaphil dry/sensitive skin cream works best. I went to the dermatologist and he couldn't believe how soft my arms were! He said he recommends Amlactin cream for keratosis pilaris sufferers. This is a great product.

This should NOT be confused with a fancy, pretty smelling, overpriced, desinger lotion sold at the department store cosmetic counter. If you have a dry and/or itchy skin problem, then your dermatologist might just recommend this product. This is the OTC version of one of the most commonly prescribed lotions used for long list of skin conditions causing dry and or itchy skin. The bottle is ugly, it doesn't smell pretty, and it might take longer to absorb than other brands. BUT, who cares since this product is a medical breakthrough in skin care.

I have extremely dry skin and also have eczema. While this product did, in fact, help my skin by giving it more moisture, it also helped my eczema. I don't know if it will have the same effect on anyone else -- I'm certainly no doctor.

I use a lotion daily on my legs and arms for dry skin. This product moistened my skin. However, if I applied it after a hot bath there was a strong ammonia smell that stayed on my skin. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend using it after bathing.

This product improved my dry skin. I noticed a reduction of dryness almost immediately. Outside of that quality, frankly, I didn't care much for it. The lotion left my skin feeling very waxy. Its fragrance reminded me of the odor of Elmer's glue. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless getting rid of dry skin was his or her sole concern.

Very effective for dry, flaky skin. Absorbs well and keeps working most of the day. Better than most brands we've tried. Would recommend to family and friends.

I've been using the AmLactin 12% Ammonium Lactate lotion for about seven days. I find that one of the lotion's good points is that it has little or no odor. On the negative side, however, it takes forever to be absorbed into my skin, and leaves an oily feeling like that of suntan oil. This lasted for at least 10 minutes until I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed to get it to absorb into my skin. I don't feel that the product helped my dry skin and even made it feel dryer, as opposed to other products I've been using for severe dry skin. I wouldn't recommend this product.

I have mixed feelings about this lotion. It's fragrance free, but it has a kind of chemical smell. It also left my skin feeling sticky for a few hours after I used it. My legs were really dry from the winter weather and this lotion softened my skin. It also didn't require more than one application each day and it didn't irritate my skin. The price is kind of high for me, but it worked well.
