"AmLactin was a lifesaver for me. I had tried everything under the sun. Couldn't stand to take a bath, couldn't stand not to. When I took off my clothes, skin flew everywhere. Big scales, cracked, red skin. Anyway, I use it all over my whole body, and it works. It stinks, but it works. It is too strong for my face. I haven't found a product for a face regimen. I am trying some stuff on my scalp. I have 'cradle cap'. My head always smells funky, and lately I have lost lots of hair. So, no solution yet for face or scalp."

"I have had ichthyosis for over 70 years. I have used AmLactin for the past 20 or so years after trying wearing rubber suits, other skin creams, etc. It works wonders. I live outdoors in the summer in New England and the winter months in FL and am outside and inside with shorts and short-sleeve shirts. My skin is clear, but I must shower and immediately smooth AmLactin on my arms, face, and legs. Thank you, AmLactin!"

"I have ichthyosis, and I have been using ammonium lactate 12% for years. I'm 27 now and was recommended it in high school. I wish I had it sooner! My hands no longer crack and bleed, and my feet rarely do. My skin looks so much better: less flaking and softer. If you have severely dry skin, you need this. I do put it lightly on my face, but away from my eyes. I also layer it over the top of a regular lotion on my face. Note: Don't put ammonium lactate on your hands first if you will be rubbing other creams around your eyes. Start with the eye products, finish with Am-Lac! This is a great product and really changed my life. I just wish it came in 15% or even higher."

"Not strong enough for me. Had to use the Lac-Hydrin 12%. Some states require a prescription, and some don't."
