THIS LOTION HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! (Eczema)

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014

Size: 1.25 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

The sounds like a giant hyperbole, I know. But this is really the most accurate way I can describe this product and what it's done for me, so as far as I'm concerned, it's true!

I've had pretty terrible eczema all my life. I've tried all sorts of medicine including herbal remedies to little or no effect. As I grew up I just learned to live with it and accept it as a part of my life. Winters in the northeast were terrible - itching, dry flaky skin, redness, etc. My skin would get so dry and red it would crack and bleed. On any given day in January I would almost always have some sort of open or healing wound on my skin. My face and scalp is constantly flaking and shedding. Not only was this painful, this did a number of my self esteem as people would constantly assume that I didn't shower or I was just gross. I became very ashamed of my skin and simply didn't talk about it even to my regular doctors.

Fast forward to my late twenties when I got a good job and I paid for great health insurance. I took it upon myself to see a dermatologist and among many other creams and topical ointments, she recommended me Amlactin as a daily moisturizer. At first I was extremely skeptical as I have literally tried every lotion and cream worth its salt on the market. I've paid ridiculous amounts of money for tiny jars of expensive exotic creams with promises of eczema and psoriasis relief only to be left with dozens of partially used bottles of useless crap lying around the house. Literally everything felt great being lathered on after a shower but within a few hours even the thickest creams rubbed off or evaporated to the point as if I've put no lotion on at all.

Imagine my surprise when after a long day, I come home and realized my skin was as soft and smooth as the morning when I put this lotion on. This was a real winner. My skin has never been this soft or smooth. I've never had a winter where I wasn't a walking scab! No more blisters or cracked skin! I could actually take off my clothes in a pool or hot tub and not feel the staring eyes of people! This stuff is AMAZING! I literally bought another bottle two weeks into my first bottle for fear of the company discontinuing this stuff! (It did not).

This lotion works by having a small amount of lactic acid. It will dissolve the top layer of dead skin and work its way DEEP INTO your skin, not just cover it up. Once you put it on, it gets in there - really REALLY gets in there and stays there. The acid does burn a little but it's not terrible pain but a slight tingling sensation and wayyyy more tolerable than blisters or bleeding cracks. The result is smoothness - like butter in the hot sun smoothness. I will touch my skin hours after treatment and wonder if it belongs to me because it feels so foreign!

The lotion is fairly pricey, around $22-25 a bottle, but you get a BIG 20z bottle! Not some dinky two squirt bottle. This thing will last me about two months in the winter (I use it about 2x every day for full body coverage) and 3-4 months in other seasons. For around $100 a year, I can deal with the price.

There is some slight burning/tingling sensation when you use it. Some people report burning, I don't find it bothersome or painful. Whatever sensations I get with this usually subsides within a few minutes anyways. If you use this on an open cut though, it will sting.

As mentioned above, AMLACTIN does eat away a a layer of dead skin so it is helpful for keratosis pilaris (KP), which I also have as a result of the eczema. My arm and legs which have the most KP are a lot clearer since I started using Amlactin due to the dead skin cells being dissolved away. I'm still working on the rest of my body but I feel like I have new skins!

While they don't recommend using this, I have when I didn't have my face ointment available and the results are usually better than my RX facial ointment. The tingling/burning sensation is a bit worse on your face than body as your face is more sensitive.

The smell does take some time to get used to. It has an acidic smell to it. It's not terribly strong, but given the alternatives I'll take it. It usually subsides within a few minutes anyways.

In short, BUY THIS LOTION!

Miracle product for eczema

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2016

Size: 1.25 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This product has been a miracle- although it's one of several components to my 5 month journey with eczema.

End of Aug 2015- I got poison ivy- which I am extremely allergic to. 5 weeks later- it didn't go away- I went to dr and she gave me 9 day dose of prednisone. Total cost including visit- $135. The steroids helped. But the moment I stopped- I got itchy all over and scratched around my armpits - in front and back- while asleep.

4-6 weeks later -I was on vacation in Shanghai- so went to the dr- and he gave me a steroid creme to apply. Costs- Unknown. It helped a lot- but didn't heal- and now my rashes were getting bigger.

One weekend of scratching made them ooze- and two dr. Visits later- I was covered head to toe in 100 rashes/spots- and about 20 of them were oozing. 8 of them were larger than 3 inch ovals. This was partially due to the fact that one visit- the dr eyeballed my rash and incorrectly diagnosed me with ringworm (without doing a biopsy)- and gave me an oral antifungal- fluconozale - which made me break out all over my body and gave me the 100+ itchy spots. Now I was about $500 in with visits and meds.

Finally I make an appt with the derm- but it was a two week wait. I read about natural remedies. So I took a bath- every other day and soaked for 45 minutes- in water plus 3 cups of Epsom salt. This naturally drew out the bacteria that my oozing patches were infected with.

2 weeks later- my rashes no longer oozed yellow (staph)- and a visit to my derm confirmed- I had nummular eczema. I was spending an hour a day- changing my bandages ($20 for total supply)- and moisturizing with bag balm ($10/8oz). However they still took a biopsy to make sure it wasn't ringworm- since the two are often confused for each other.

2 weeks into my salt baths- my rashes no longer looked infected- and they weren't gaping open- they were more closed up- and looked red and porous. Weeping still and required bandages. My derm prescribed me a $40 one lb tub of corticosteroid called triam- something. I didn't use a single ounce of it. They needed to wait for biopsy results before they would prescribe anything else.

at that point - since my rashes had closed up much more- I started doing bleach bathes every other day. 30 gal water plus 1/2 cup of a 6.25% bleach. 20 mins. After 5 of these bathes- my rashes- all but two- had stopped oozing. I made sure to put bag balm all over my body and rashes after these bathes. When the oozing stopped- I was still left with these big red bumpy rashes.

Now enters amlactin. Since my rashes were no longer "open" and oozing- I felt safe to use amlactin. What a difference!! Within 3 days- all my bumps are smooth-and much less red. Some of the bumps are just red along the edges and skin tones in the center- as if the center is healed/more healed.

The texture of the skin toned parts of my eczema rashes- feel weird tho- they're smooth/flat-yet look wrinkled and feel slightly rough. I'm guessing this is just a process of the exfoliation? Because I doubt this is a scar.... Scars are smooth, shiny and some are slightly raised??

In addition to all this- amlactin has sealed in moisture- and eliminated itchiness. It's eliminated itchiness more effectively than aquaphor bag balm- and just as effective as corticosteroids. I will use this until my eczema is healed (as I've never had eczema until this past several months- I'm imagining that it will stay away?)

I hope it doesn't come back- and I hope I'm not dependent on amlactin to keep it away.

I quoted the price of my Drs- because i paid out of pocket. And including that biopsy- I was well into this over $1000.

However - my two bags of Epsom salt - bottle of bleach, aquaphor, bag balm, gauze, tape, and amlactin- cost about $75. They have done more wonders than all the dr. Visits put together.

Mind you - I also chose to take this battle against eczema from within my body - by eating healthy. I was taking vitamins, esp. C, omega-3, making broths from bones (beef or chicken), doing green smoothies (leafy greens with fruit plus matcha- matcha is green tea that's been powderized), and no alcohol.

I'm still fighting this the natural way. I stopped doing the bleach bathes the moment my rashes stopped weeping- eliminating the need for bandages.

Without amlactin- I would still be left with hundreds of raised red bumps that itch incessantly at night. I've always been a healthy eater but never someone who was against prescription meds. Now- I trust my body and less invasive methods - bc I've seen the life changing effects they've had with healing me- where pharmaceutical meds couldn't. Puts a lot of things into perspective!

Update- one week later** - my skin has noticeably changed. All the bright red parts of my skin- some - where I was fearful even of scarring- have turned over. They've lightened and created these wrinkly patches all over my body. Now- those patches are peeling/shedding- and those that have shedded- have exposed new, untainted and unscarred skin.

I can't wait for this nightmare to be over. Thanks to this product- I'm going to be able to work out again and not worry about sweat irritating my rashes which are now gone. Thanks to this product- I can look forward to wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts in the summer---

One of my favourite KP products

Reviewed in India on May 30, 2021

Size: 1.25 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I first came across this brand 5 years ago when researching KP solutions and it was among a dozen KP related products (lotions, soaps, creams etc.) I've tried over the years. One thing I've learnt is that there is no magic product that will miraculously clear KP - for example, I currently manage mine through a combination of diet and skin care. This one is really good for moisturising my extremely dry skin and has lactic acid in it which is effective in managing KP. I'm quite happy it's available for purchase in India!
