What the gurus are saying

This 12% ammonium lactate lotion rebuilds skin thickness to reverse age-related thinning and is a go-to for extremely dry conditions like keratosis pilaris and ichthyosis vulgaris. One thing to keep in mind: it stings, so those with very cracked skin may want to start with plain moisturizer and layer this in gradually; if testing on the face, patch test first, avoiding eyelids.

What Happens to Your Skin During Menopause & What You Can Do About It
"Lactic acid and alpha hydroxy acid at 12% strength and higher such as what is found in the Lactin Daily 12% Lotion has been shown to improve epidermal and dermal thickness and reverse skin atrophy. So it's another one that is great to use for age related thinning skin. It's ammonium lactate, the salt of lactic acid, but does the same thing that is also a wonderful ingredient for dry rough skin texture and for hydrating and moisturizing the skin."

What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You: Dermatologist Explains Common Signs
"Moisturizers with urea or ammonium lactate can really get in there and address the dry, cracked skin as well. And Lactin Daily 12% Lotion I love here. I think it's really good. It does sting though, so just keep that in mind. If you're actively in the throws of it, you might want to start with just plain petroleum jelly. Then the ammonium lactate can really help hydrate up the skin and prevent it from recurring so long as you address the bathing."

"Lactin is a brand that pretty much specializes in lactic acid products they have a whole line like whether you want something as light as a lotion"
