Just a heads up for people with red, dry, itchy or irritated skin- this will feel like a chemical burn. I bought this for dry skin on my neck and chest and it felt like it was on fire. I couldn’t believe the burning pain. I had to hop in the shower and wash off but was left with severe redness. Definitely only use if your skin is healthy already or not showing signs of irritation. I used the bottle on my feet and it felt fine on that area!
Makes sense because lactic acid is an exfoliant and it should not be used on compromised skin. If you want to exfoliate try mandelic acid. It is super gentle,still use it only thrice in a month.
Yeah, I didn’t know at the time. It was labeled for “rough or bumpy” skin and my skin was flaking off and bumpy so I assumed it was okay. I guess it depends on your skin type. I use Neutrogena Hydroboost now and am obsessed!! Super gentle and not sticky/stinky like Amlactin.
Yeah, Lactic acid is a strong chemical exfoliant. It's great but not the first option for sensitive skin at all(i also have sensitive skin) only use it if your skin can handle it, in very small concentrations at first. Never use exfoliants daily 🥺❤
I had that chemical burn feeling too the first time I used it. I washed it off as well. Then I tried it again the next day and the burning and redness was less. Eventually, my skin got used to it and I use it twice a day all over my body and my skin feels so soft and it faded a lot of dark marks. I love it now.
I've been using Amlactin, in the blue bottle, on my face, neck and chest for years. I truly believe that this lotion, along with sunscreen, has kept my skin young and supple. I am 53 and people are always surprised to find out my age.
Not for sure, but I have read that you are not suppose to mix the two, that you can incorporate it into your routine on alternate nights. I have done lactic acid days and retinol at night as long as I could tolerate it
@suzannesteele1275 I use it mainly on my body. I've used 12% on my face a few times usually at night with no issues but I believe it's recommended for the body.
A cream is a great way to go! I am a professional triathlete and former college swimmer, now working in the dermatology field. I would recommend the cetaphil or cerave cream.
I love your videos! But the bottle says not for facial use and you are showing us your beautiful smooth skin...what product can I use on my face? Thank you!!
Unless there’s a sex-specific skin issue, it’s fine to use skin care labeled for men, women, or both. Skincare for men is usually just for marketing and oftentimes little to nothing is actually different between men’s and women’s skin care
It doesn't matter at all :) If you have dry skin though, consider using a more gental cleanser (no stripping or tightening feeling after using it) as well as eating more healthy fats. I like the Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin cleanser and night cream/moisturizer, as well as eating chia seeds and avocado (fish is good to, if you eat meat). You can also try using some jojoba oil in addition to whatever moisturizer you want to use, as its composition is more similar to that of human sebum. If you live in a dry or cold area, also try getting a humidifier. Apply moisturizer immediately after showering/contact with water onto damp (but not dripping) skin. Weird, but you can also top it off with a thin layer of plain unscented vasaline, which will prevent moisturize loss (use as the last step only because anything you apply afterwards won't have skin contact/will just sit on top of the vasaline).
It’s not like women and men are two different species. The same ingredients that benefit the skin in women also do the same for men. The only difference in skincare marketed towards men is that those products tend to be loaded with irritating fragrances and/or menthol.
I've had the Amlactin RAPID RELIEF for 10 days, and it has made SUCH a difference on my Keratosis Pilaris bumps! And dry flaky skin. However, it's sticky, and makes the paper toilet seat liners stick to your Butt. LOL
Wow 12% lactic acid. That’s strong! I’m using TO 10% once a week. It can burn, especially if there’s a small cut. I use especially soothing serums after.
It CAN be used on the face. That’s what she’s saying. I’m an esthetician and I’ve DEFINITELY recommended it for the face. Just keep it away from the eye area like you would any AHA/BHA. And use at night. Good to go!
I get contact dermatitis if I use on the neck. Proceed with caution if you want to use this product on face, neck, and/or chest. I suggest a trying a product with 5% AHA product first to see how you tolerate it.
Hi Dr Dray, since it's the summer, could you please address how to treat hyperpigmentation and dryness of the bikini area. Will be helpful for so many of us!!! thank you!
She’s a queen , but how can she deal with all of this and at the same time work as a doctor. You’re a hardworking princess , please give us some tips with how u deal with that , as I want to become a doctor too .
Have to say what others have said…the AmLactin smell is not appealing BUT IT GOES AWAY fairly quickly! And my dermatologist commented at my last encounter how much smoother my skin was. She asked ME what I had been using!
That is my FAVORITE body cream. My skin is always so smooth and is great on damp skin after the shower. I’ve tried similar products from Eucerin and another big brand I can’t remember now…. no contest, the Gold Bond works the best.
Heii Brianna! Do you prefer Cerave SA cream or the Gold bond for KP? The second one is more expensive and the Cerave one is working good on me, so I don't know if I should try them both
I bought the blue one for KP on my arms and it gave me pimples 😭 I had never had pimples on my arms until then and they went away after I stopped using it. I’m not sure if it was a purge or what
Hi dr dray,my 4 yr toddler has very dry skin, can i apply this one to him, I just started cere ve salicyclic acid cream for him,is this safe for him?Thank you
Hi Dr Dray, can you use this for pigmentation caused by dryness and irritation in the Bikini area especially outer parts like the mono pubis and outer labia area? (pigmentation not caused by genetics, but by over-washing the area with fragrance body washes, sweating, and shaving)

Yup. Amlactin is awesome but I despise the smell.
Oh my...can you describe it or compare it to something familiar before I buy it....
@@sanr6816 smells rancid...almost a spoiled scent
@@ccMomOfJays oh wow....I won't be able to stand that. Thanks for responding
I have purchased this twice hoping I would be able to deal with the smell and I can’t stand it. And I was only using it on my arms
Yes! It smells awful 😷

Is the lotion smelly?
Many of us would love to know if WE CAN USE THIS ON OUR FACE AS WELL AS WHILE USING RETINOL????
Thank you!
♥️
Not for sure, but I have read that you are not suppose to mix the two, that you can incorporate it into your routine on alternate nights. I have done lactic acid days and retinol at night as long as I could tolerate it
No. Don’t. Absolutely not in the same routine.
Is this for body and face? Do you have to avoid other creams and treatments if you use this?
Can we use 10% lactic everyday? Isn't harmful?...please reply dr dray... ❤
I just started using this a week ago and notice a huge difference. My skin is so soft and smooth. The smell takes time getting use to for sure
Do you use this on your body or face? Thx 😊
@suzannesteele1275 I use it mainly on my body. I've used 12% on my face a few times usually at night with no issues but I believe it's recommended for the body.
🥳🤗 I just bought this 2 weeks ago! Glad my skincare studies with Dr Dray have paid off 🙌
How is it can u update some people
And wht type is ur skin
Please, Dr Dray, please!!!!! How should the skin be protected from chlorine from pools if you swim a lot? Please 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
A cream is a great way to go! I am a professional triathlete and former college swimmer, now working in the dermatology field. I would recommend the cetaphil or cerave cream.
Vaseline. 😊

Thank you for mentioning that. I almost went out to buy it today. She should have mentioned not for facial use!
Yes,this was irresponsible,this should have been made clear,and not shown on a short video, with few instructions.
@@LRLC1123when she talks about in her videos it’s for the body
I've been using Dermalac (formely LacHydrin) 12% lactic acid lotion on my face for 25 years. Amazing, incredible stuff! 👏
Where can I get those? Thanks
Can we use this on our face too??
Hi. I'm a 49 year old male. When choosing a moisturiser for dry skin does it have to be specifically for men or does it matter that much ?
Nope
Unless there’s a sex-specific skin issue, it’s fine to use skin care labeled for men, women, or both. Skincare for men is usually just for marketing and oftentimes little to nothing is actually different between men’s and women’s skin care
It doesn't matter at all :)

Can the 10-20%+ urea body creams also be used on the face?
I use a 5% urea eucerin moisturiser on my face I doubt a higher percentage is advisable that's usually for really rough skin on feet etc
can this be used on face ..? Or just other body parts
Can I use it with tretinoin?
I've had the Amlactin RAPID RELIEF for 10 days, and it has made SUCH a difference on my Keratosis Pilaris bumps! And dry flaky skin. However, it's sticky, and makes the paper toilet seat liners stick to your Butt. LOL
😂
😅😂😅
This is the kind of skincare knowledge that needs to be on tiktok.
Dr.Dray showed it at a Costco but you kind find it almost anywhere- Target, Walmart, Walgreens etc.
Can it be used on the face? Also, there is a 15 percent Amlactin. Can that be better for ingrown hairs on legs. The 12 percent does nothing for me.
No, the back of the bottle says do not use on face
Yes it can actually my Derm told me to use it on my face
@@MeLaLa6979I know many ppl have great results on face.. did u use the 12 percent or 15?
Where do you buy these products
I got mine at Costco
You can use this on your face?😮
Dr Dray, you are a working machine! Now you're doing shorts! Appreciate all of your hard work! Thank you!! 💕
Thanks!
@@DrDrayzdayis it safe for acne prone skin? Thanks in advance
Will this be too much if used daily? Also, can we use this in the AM?
Wow 12% lactic acid. That’s strong! I’m using TO 10% once a week. It can burn, especially if there’s a small cut. I use especially soothing serums after.
Awesome! However, it says not for facial use. Could you elaborate how it can be used?
It’s a body lotion. Good for people with skin conditions like keratosis pilaris
I think it's only for the body.

@@mouses_HK you can use it on the face as well.
@@AuntBethanys Oh thank you
For face or only body? Thx 😊❤
Can I use this product on my face? Even though it says on the bottle not intended for face use can it possibly still be used on the face?
You can use it on your face?
I get contact dermatitis if I use on the neck. Proceed with caution if you want to use this product on face, neck, and/or chest. I suggest a trying a product with 5% AHA product first to see how you tolerate it.
Can you use it more than 3 months?
Can you use Amlactin on your face?!
Can I use it on my face?I have dry sensitive rosessa prone
Twice a day.. With my job I sometimes have to be in the sun.. will it cause damage to my skin?
So could this be a replacement for tretinoin during pregnancy??
Can I use it on my face?
Can’t I just use lactic acid serum…? Or glycolic acid
Is this safe to use on your face?? Not sure if she meant for body use only
Hi Dr Dray, since it's the summer, could you please address how to treat hyperpigmentation and dryness of the bikini area. Will be helpful for so many of us!!! thank you!
yes pls
is it safe during pregnancy?
Isn’t this for the body not face? They advertise as a body moisturizer. Can you put this on the face safely?
I can agree 100%. Amlactin had been amazing for my skin
hello philippines here ,can u use ds for face? pls reply
Thank you for sharing such an amazing video😍
Can we use if we have oily skin ?
She’s a queen , but how can she deal with all of this and at the same time work as a doctor. You’re a hardworking princess , please give us some tips with how u deal with that , as I want to become a doctor too .
Can i use this on my neck to improve the thickness?
This can be used twice DAILY?? Wouldn't it be considered as over exfoliation????
This is only for the body?
Is that a body lotion?
Can this be used and dark skin?
This works great on dark skin. I have dark skin and it really helped fade dark marks.
What happens after the 3 month mark?
Superpowers
Can you use this on face ?
We cant use this on the face??
Yes I would like this.
Is this for face or the body?
What is this Lotion? Any kind of 12% lactic acid lotion? We dont have it in Europe
would this be useful for dry heels?
Have to say what others have said…the AmLactin smell is not appealing BUT IT GOES AWAY fairly quickly! And my dermatologist commented at my last encounter how much smoother my skin was. She asked ME what I had been using!
Hello my beautiful dr.dray,I try yo find this product here ,italy,romania,but i don't find any of it ...
Can you use this if you have eczema?
Why up to three months? How long of a break do you need to take in between uses then?
I think she said up to 3 months because that’s how long it usually takes to start seeing a difference using skincare products.
@@imabingewatcher hmm maybe... hopefully she didn’t mean you have to discontinue use after three months!
Can I put this on my oily acne prone skin?
I didn’t find much relief for my KP :/ but the gold bond rough and bumpy skin cream is amazing!
That is my FAVORITE body cream. My skin is always so smooth and is great on damp skin after the shower. I’ve tried similar products from Eucerin and another big brand I can’t remember now…. no contest, the Gold Bond works the best.
It didnt work for my kp either!
Same...I didn't think about using it as a body cream...thanks for the tip! I'll use it up then
I use this too right out of the shower it works! I asked my mom to pick some up she came back with something else in a tub and I was so irked lol
Heii Brianna! Do you prefer Cerave SA cream or the Gold bond for KP? The second one is more expensive and the Cerave one is working good on me, so I don't know if I should try them both
I had to get the prescription ammonum lactate version. Amlactin burned my skin. Might be one of the ingredients I can't have
Does it help with stretch marks?
Can you use this at the same time you’re using adapalene?
Doctor is it safe for eczema?
Can we use amlactin on our faces?
Do you mean for body or for face?
Is this OK to apply on rosacea?
Can you reccomend me a face wash for kids?
CeraVe hydrating cleanser
How old are your kiddos? Vanicream cleanser is great. Extremely gentle and very few ingredients.
@@michelletidler6773 I want to find a good cleanser for my sister. She is 11 years old.
@@angelamontejo8333 I would just buy the Vanicream one. Very gentle and inexpensive. Nothing in it to irritate her skin or eyes.
Which is more effective; Alpha lotion with 12% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), or Amlactin with 12% Lactic Acid????
Lactic acid is more gentle compared to glycolic acid
Is lactic acid safe during pregnancy?
does it help with ice pick pores?
They are getting worse.
😭😭😭😭
The smell is something you gotta get used to. Almost smells like those salt water packets you swish in your mouth when you have phlegm.

Is it okay for dry skin?
