AmLactin Lotion (Lactic Acid)

There is no reason you should have to deal with xerosis cutis or ichthyosis vulgaris, both are dry, itchy skin problems that cause you to scratch until you break the skin and could result in an infection. Stop scratching and start applying AmLactin Lotion, being careful to avoid your eyes, lips, inside your mouth and nose, and the vaginal area.

Xerosis cutis simply means dry skin. Ichthyosis vulgaris is an inherited skin disorder that causes dry, scaly skin that can appear during childhood and is a result of your dead skin cells not falling or sloughing off as they should. This causes dry patches of skin to build up and can cover large areas of your body. Your symptoms can worsen during winter when the air is drier and colder.

Lactic Acid has an extra benefit compared to most moisturizers with alpha hydroxy acids, and that is its ability to improve your skin’s own moisture factor so your skin remains hydrated and less dry as your skin cell cycle is sped up so old skin cells will slough off faster and allow new cells to surface.

You may notice your skin is more sensitive to sunlight while using AmLactin Lotion, so remember to apply at least a 30 SPF sunscreen after AmLactin Lotion has been fully absorbed to avoid skin damage from sunburn. If daily use starts to irritate your skin, reduce the number of times per week you apply AmLactin Lotion until your skin becomes accustomed to it.
