“A lactic acid lotion like AmLactin [...] can really help some people with the thickened texture of acanthosis nigricans, though the neck and skin folds can be sensitive, so [...] you want to start gently and ask your dermatologist what makes sense for that area.”
▶4:30“AmLactin keeps the stratum corneum nice, smooth, and compact and moisturizes the skin, so Dr. Dray personally has no need to mechanically exfoliate her body ever, aside from shaving.”
▶15:07“For thick, ashy knees and elbows, [...] consider AmLactin. It uses lactic acid, which is a gentle exfoliant to help take away that dead skin that's building up.”
▶8:04“You're still going to need exfoliation, but you got to keep it gentle. Something like AmLactin is going to be amazing because it moisturizes and exfoliates.”
▶2:21“AmLactin is a lactic acid-based moisturizer, and lactic acid is fantastic because it's a humectant. It draws in and retains moisture in itself. So if you're somebody that experiences a lot of dryness, a lot of flaking with your retinoid use, using lactic acid alongside it can actually help counter some of those side effects. [...] Lactic acid is super gentle, so you get minimum irritation, but it's also hydrating, moisturizing. It's a humectant.”
▶5:33“If all of a sudden you are exfoliating your arms, right, and getting rid of the bonds of the dead skin cells holding those [...] dead skin cells together and you go outside to Central Park and it's 80° and you have not protected your skin, your skin is more sensitive to the sun.”
▶10:15“I love exfoliating ingredients like amlactin is great um which is an ammonium lactate lactic acid derivative so you exfoliates and moisturizes”
▶80:55“If you are doing exfoliation on a regular basis, I recommend going with a chemical exfoliate like [...] AmLactin, and you want to avoid physical loofas, body brushes, body scrubs as much as you can because the physical exfoliation [...] can be damaging to your skin barrier and may spread bacteria, causing more inflammation to acne and folliculitis.”
▶14:56“I highly recommend keeping a product like AmLactin on hand to also help smooth out dry skin. It can peel away the buildup of flaky skin all while adding in moisturizer as well. The AmLactin line is incredibly affordable, it's available on Amazon and at the drugstores, and it packs a really high concentration of lactic acid which is what will help loosen dry skin flakes and smooth out the skin.”
