Great lotion, not a good amazon buy
This is a product best purchased at your local Walmart or pharmacy. The price point for me is better when purchased at Walmart.My first purchase was thru American Delivery Services and I now know that something may have been wrong with my bottle. The smell is a off. I discovered this after I purchased this lotion a second time from Walmart.The original bottle I didn’t use very much because it smelled bad. I’d actually decided that amlactin was not the moisturizer for me and had moved on to urea based moisturizers.However, after doing a bit of reading I learned that the AHAs & humectants in amlactin are better for dry skin. So I tried the product a second time with a brick & mortar purchased product. The results have been very good. My menopause & Chicago winter dry skin has improved quite a bit. The dry patches on my elbows and heels are smooth and soft. The skin in my body is soft with no winter itchiness. I’m very pleased with the results.This does say it is not meant to be used on the face but I do at night. Other than irritation around my nose where my cpap mask rests I’ve seen no issues with using this on my face. My face is smoother and softer. Much better than when I used Cerave.The one thing I do notice is if I don’t use every day my dry skin returns. This also works best for me when my skin is still damp after a shower. If i wait until my skin is no longer damp the effect is not the same. It still works but works better when skin is damp.What do I like? It works and is absorbed very quickly and doesn’t leave an oily residue. I can use this head to toe in winter with no issues.What I don’t like? The smell. While the brick & mortar smells loads better than the amazon purchase this lotion still doesn’t have a pleasant odor. It stinks. But since it works so well & the odor doesn’t last once applied I can live with it.Concerns? I’m using this in winter in Chicago so I’ve very little sun exposure. But come spring & summer I am concerned about having a negative reaction. I typically don’t use sunscreen as I have rather dark skin and I’m not typically exposed to the sun for long periods of time. But I am a gardener and may need to give up this lotion in warm months or use sunscreen.What would I do differently? I will never order this via amazon again. I’m not certain the product I received was fake or just old because it smell so differently than the brick & mortar purchased bottle. I do know I will continue to use this along with basis soap as this combination seems to work for my dry skin. I’d also used special urea based creams on my feet but I no longer need those since this works so well. This offsets the cost of amlactin since I no longer need separate moisturizers for face, body & feet.I’d recommend the lotion but not recommend this as an amazon purchase as you can’t guarantee you’re getting fresh product.

Body cream
The pump did n9t work. Had to take a pump from another product, clean it and then use. Such a pain especially since one pays a lit of money for the product

Best-working moisturizer!
For me, this moisturizer works better than any other that I've tried, and does not have a noticeable ammonium scent.

Very good moisturizing lotion
I have ordered this lotion multiple times and I have no complaints about the product. My last order the lotion was sent in a mailing envelope and when I opened the envelope there was lotion all over the inside. We cleaned it up but I don't think a pump top lotion should ever be sent in a mailing envelope. My problem is not with the product but the packaging.

Worth its weight in gold
I was diagnosed with Psoriasis about 20 years ago and have been using a steroid cream but the affected areas had become so large that The amount my insurance approved wasn’t enough for more than a few days so I barely used it. One leg was covered and most of my back for over a year, plus other random spots. My new doctor saw this and referred me to a dermatologist who recommended this lotion. I should also mention that my skin was just awful besides the psoriasis, it was dry and bumpy. Yes, this lotion smells bad and I dread putting it on my entire body every night and after showering but It’s so worth it! My skin is soft and smooth and my psoriasis has completely cleared up! I wasn’t expecting that since I’ve used so many other lotions that did nothing or made it worse. This lotion is a miracle for me and I’m looking forward to being able to wear shorts this summer. I just ordered 2 more bottles!

Strong smell. Straight to the bin.
It's my first time buying this so I'd don't know what it should feel smell like but when I received the product it was leaking outside..it was already opened and there was a tape put around it...smells acidic horrible nasty and it's unbearable.
