What Is Amlactin?
Amlactin (lactic acid) is a prescription-strength moisturizing medication used to manage dry, rough, and scaly skin conditions including xerosis and ichthyosis. It works by acting as an alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells and draws moisture into the skin, improving hydration and texture. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients notice meaningfully smoother and softer skin within a few weeks of consistent use.

Is Online Amlactin Treatment Right for You?
Amlactin is appropriate for adults experiencing persistent dry skin conditions such as xerosis, ichthyosis, or keratosis pilaris that have not responded adequately to standard over-the-counter moisturizers. Your Doctronic provider will review your skin history, current symptoms, and any prior treatments to determine whether Amlactin is the right fit for you.
Because lactic acid affects the skin barrier, your provider will also consider any history of sensitive skin, active skin infections, or use of other topical agents that may interact with or reduce the tolerability of Amlactin. A brief health history helps ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Amlactin is a topical formulation containing 12% lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid. It works in two ways: it gently exfoliates the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and it acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin to improve hydration and texture.
Amlactin is commonly used to treat xerosis (chronic dry skin), ichthyosis (a group of conditions causing scaly skin), and keratosis pilaris (rough, bumpy skin caused by keratin buildup in hair follicles). It may also be used for other dry or rough skin conditions as directed by a physician.
Many patients notice improved skin texture and reduced dryness within one to two weeks of consistent daily use. Full benefit, particularly for thicker or more stubborn dry skin conditions, may take four to six weeks of regular application.
Apply Amlactin to affected areas once or twice daily, or as directed by your physician. Rub it in thoroughly and avoid applying it to broken, irritated, or infected skin. Keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes.
The most common side effects are mild and include a brief stinging or burning sensation immediately after application, particularly on sensitive or freshly shaved skin. Redness and mild irritation can also occur. These effects usually lessen with continued use. If irritation is severe or persistent, contact your provider.
Amlactin is formulated primarily for body use. Facial skin is often more sensitive, and lactic acid at 12% concentration may cause irritation on the face. Speak with your Doctronic physician about whether Amlactin or an alternative lower-strength formulation is appropriate for facial application.
