AmLactin

Frequently asked questions

What makes AmLactin different?

AmLactin is dermatological exfoliating skincare. Its formulas combine alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) exfoliation with hydration in one product, so you can exfoliate and moisturize in the same step. AmLactin is the #1 Dermatologist Recommended Brand with Lactic Acid.*

What does lactic acid do in AmLactin products?

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It exfoliates dead skin cells on the surface, and it also helps draw moisture into the skin and support the skin barrier, so you get exfoliation and hydration together. AmLactin formulas range from 2% to 15% lactic acid; each chosen for the skin type or concern the product targets.

Which AmLactin product is right for my skin?

Choose by skin type or concern rather than by percentage. The lactic acid level in each formula is carefully chosen to suit that formula and the concern it targets.

• Normal to dry skin: Daily Nourish Lotion with 12% Lactic Acid AHA
• Very dry, flaky skin: Intensive Healing Lotion or Cream with 15% Lactic Acid AHA
• Keratosis pilaris and rough, bumpy skin: KP Bumps Be Gone Cream with 15% Lactic Acid AHA
• Dullness and uneven tone, face and body: Bright & Smooth Serum with a 5% AHA blend
• Sensitive, dry skin: Calm & Renew 2% AHA Body Lotion

Can I use AmLactin with retinol or tretinoin?

AmLactin products can be used as part of a routine that includes retinoids like retinol or tretinoin. Individual tolerance varies, so a physician or dermatologist can help you choose the best approach for your skin.

Are AmLactin products fragrance free?

Yes. AmLactin products are formulated without added fragrance.
