There is currently no research on the efficacy of AmLactin products for eczema. Furthermore, the company’s products cannot treat this condition specifically, and they may irritate eczema-prone skin. Therefore, a person should discuss suitable eczema treatments with their doctor before using them. AmLactin AP cream may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to AmLactin AP cream. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.Danby, S.

The blend of shea butter, coconut oil, and lavender essential oil nourishes and soothes as it sinks into the skin. People may apply ammonium lactate in a topical cream to reduce the symptoms of ichthyosis vulgaris and xerosis, which are both dry skin conditions. Ammonium lactate acts as a humectant to reduce moisture loss and break up the scales present in these skin conditions. Some ways to help prevent dry skin include using lukewarm (not hot) water when bathing, taking baths/showers less often (such as every 1-2 days), keeping baths/showers short, and using a humidifier when the air is very dry.

Byrdie contributor Rachel Dube has written for some of the biggest beauty publications out there. Although she’s a fan of regular salon pedicures, she combines the treatment with foot cream application to prolong the benefits (and keeps calluses away) as long as possible. Therefore, people should use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using AmLactin products and for at least 1 week afterward. This product is for external use only. Do not ingest ammonium lactate. Avoid getting this product into your eyes, nose, mouth, genitals, or other mucous membranes.

Ammonium lactate is an alpha hydroxy acid that helps relieve itching from eczema by hydrating your skin. But using too much, or applying it in the wrong places, can cause further skin irritation. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: wounds or sores on the skin. Store AmLactin AP cream at room temperature, between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep AmLactin AP cream out of the reach of children and away from pets. General information:Pasupuleti VR, Sammugam L, Ramesh N, Gan SH.

PMID: 28814983; PMCID: PMC5549483. If you miss a dose of AmLactin AP cream and you are using it regularly, use it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. Do not use 2 doses at once. Face: It’s best to avoid using ammonium lactate on your face since it can cause irritation on skin that gets a lot of sun exposure. Applying moisturizer to your feet while having blisters is not fun by any means, but you can rest assured knowing that this cream from Aquaphor will help heal them. Although it’s not specifically intended for feet, Shah says that this cream is a staple for most dermatologists—especially for healing really dry areas. “It combines three ultra-nourishing ingredients— petrolatum jelly with panthenol and glycerin—that acts like a seal over blisters,” he says. And with the added healing (and moisturizing) benefits, your blisters will be gone before you know it. Shea butter, the hero ingredient of this product, has long been known for its ability to instantly hydrate skin. Only a dime-sized amount is needed to go a long way in moisturizing, which is why this foot cream should be in everyone's arsenal. While other rich formulas may have you sliding across the floor, you’ll watch in amazement as this one sinks into the skin in seconds. The cream’s soothing lavender scent is a bonus, too. The only thing we aren’t crazy about is the fact that it can sometimes leave a greasy residue behind. While we don’t mind, it’s something to consider if you plan on applying and heading out the door. Who It’s For

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue). Like a pedicure in a jar, this sweet-smelling concoction seals in moisture and revives dry, tired feet. All you have to do is brush it on and immerse your toes in super soft hydration.

Additionally, because AmLactin products contain lactic acid, an AHA, they may increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. This can increase the risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Ammonium lactate may make your skin overly sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. Avoid sun exposure and artificial light on the areas of skin you’re treating while using this product. It may also remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. This allows moisture to reach the skin’s deeper layers. Before using ammonium lactate, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. We recommend this product for anyone seeking a rich, balmy foot cream that drenches skin in intense moisture. It’s also a good option for anyone who prefers naturally derived ingredients.
