Ammonium Lactate Lotion 12% C-P, Fliptop - (400grams/14oz) - Pack of 2

I have ichthyosis on my legs. After googling a bit, I found this term (also used by another reviewer here.. which is accurate!) and noticed that the google images of ichthyosis look like flaky fish type of skin which was my condition also. The recommended cream was Ammonium Lactate so I bought this bottle and finished the whole thing. It definitely takes a few months but after religiously applying everyday after shower for few months (I think about 5 months), I saw the decrease in the look of ichthyosis on my skin :) This thing WORKS and it's cheaper than going to a dermatologist or having to cover my legs for rest of my life (Im a 30 year old girl). TRY IT! btw.. I still have a bit of ichthyosis left so I still use this cream and now its been almost a year (onto bottle number 2). I dont think I will stop using this until its completely gone.

I have used this product for the last 10 years great product specially those suffering with skin conditions

This lotion, smells funny and burns. It’s supposed to. It works really well. I have ichthyosis and used to have to get a prescription for this lotion. I found it here and was worried it wasn’t the real thing. It seems like it is legit. It smells the same and works the same as the old Rx lotion I used to get from the pharmacy. Do not use this cream if you have normal skin. It’s not necessary. If you have bad skin like mine, it will work. It isn't pleasant, which is why I mix it with Aveeno, but it works and my skin looks and feels more normal than it does when I don’t use it. I will be buying again.

Great lotion to soften dry skin. After just 1 use my fingertips were no longer like sandpaper. In spite of the fact that it's not thick, and creamy it works incredibly well. By far the best I've used. The only drawback is the scent. I'm sure that the smell has to do with the ingredients that make it work so well. I wish they'd come up with a way to mask the ammonia smell.

Works great for my condition!

My son suffers from a genetic skin condition that scales the dry skin and does not allow the skin to flake off as normally. I can't remember exactly what the condition is. The Dermatologist that diagnosed him suggested that we use Amalactin cream with Ammonium Lactate. That product never really worked I am assuming that it is so to the lower percentage of Ammounium Lactate. That product is also much much more expensive. All I have to say is this product is extemely good. My son's skin has cleared up dramatically. His skin begin to clear up noticeably within the first 10 days of daily use and the price can't be beat. Highly recommend this product.

Have been using this product since early 1990’s, when it still required a prescription. It was recommended to me by my dermatologist for eczema, which flares in winter with use of constant central heat. Other than its somewhat off-putting ammonia smell on application (which quickly fades), I recommend it without reservation. I’m also very allergic to artificial perfumes, and do not have any problem with this lotion. My husband also uses it all winter long for his dry hands and arms.

This product is great for dry skin. It is actually the best product I have used for that condition. I liked it so much I bought more to give to my grandkids. Excellent product.
