FAQS
Most Amlactin products, such as the Amlactin Rapid Relief Restoring Lotion and the AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion, are designed to be used daily and can even be applied to the skin once or twice a day.
All AmLactin products contain 12% AHA for exfoliating and, as a result lightening the skin in certain areas like dark knuckles and feet. These products also help fade body scars, KP, and acne marks. However, skin lightening isn't the focus of these products.
The time it takes for Amlactin products to work will depend on the specific product and the individual's skin type and condition. AmLactin products are designed to exfoliate and moisturize the skin, and the effects may be noticeable within a few days to several weeks of regular use.
AmLactin products address various skin concerns, including dry, rough, flaky skin, Keratosis Pilaris, uneven skin tone, and aging skin.
AmLactin products are not certified by organizations such as PETA or Leaping Bunny as vegan or cruelty-free. However, the brand claims that Amlactin is cruelty-free, and its products are formulated with vegan lactic acid.
AmLactin products are primarily formulated for body use and are not explicitly designed for use on the face. If you use ammonium lactate (Amlactin) on your face, you might experience burning or stinging, especially if you use it right after shaving or if the skin is cut or damaged.
AmLactin products containing a higher concentration of Lactic Acid might not suit facial skin.
The frequency of use for Amlactin products depends on the specific product and the individual's skin type and needs. It is recommended to follow the instructions on the product label and to start with a lower frequency of use and gradually increase as tolerated.
AmLactin products are not advertised as non-comedogenic. Some formulations, such as the Amlactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion, may be less likely to cause acne breakouts due to their lightweight texture and fast absorption.
Amlactin products contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as lactic acid, which can have a sour or acidic odour. In addition to the natural scent of AHAs, Amlactin products contain other ingredients, such as emollients and humectants, which can contribute to the overall smell of the product.
However, AmLactin has several fragrance-free products, like the AmLactin Rapid Relief Restoring Lotion and the AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion, that can be used easily.
