Description
Ammonium Lactate Cream 12 Percent provides therapeutic moisturization for severely dry, rough, and scaly skin conditions through its clinically proven formula containing alpha-hydroxy acids. This prescription-strength concentration delivers intensive hydration while promoting gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, softer skin underneath. The fragrance-free formulation makes it suitable for sensitive skin types and those with fragrance allergies or sensitivities. Ammonium lactate works by increasing skin moisture retention and accelerating natural cell turnover, making it particularly effective for conditions like xerosis, keratosis pilaris, and ichthyosis. The 140-gram tube provides generous coverage for large body areas or extended treatment periods. This therapeutic cream is often recommended by dermatologists for patients with chronic dry skin conditions that don’t respond to regular moisturizers. The pH-balanced formula helps restore skin’s natural barrier function while providing immediate and long-lasting hydration. Regular use helps maintain skin suppleness and prevents recurrence of severe dryness. The non-greasy texture absorbs well, making it suitable for daily use without interfering with clothing or daily activities.
Suggested Use
Apply to affected areas twice daily or as directed by physician. Massage gently into clean, dry skin until fully absorbed. For best results, apply to slightly damp skin after bathing to seal in moisture. Use consistently for optimal therapeutic benefits. Avoid application to broken or severely irritated skin initially.
