I nearly wet my knickers laughing so much!!!

Im a long-time user. It does smell, but the benefits are AMAZING. You will have super soft skin.

Agree, the Amlactin line is fabulous for exfoliation but smells truly awful. Especially the purple one, even worse. Definitely the acid that creates the smell. I mix it in with La Roche Posay's body cream and that helps a lot. Use every single night and will never go back

I love Amlactin for my legs, especially in the summer. And it does stink now I think the smell has changed since last year. My husband uses it too and he said, what is going on! It smells so bad!

Amlactin can smell. It is great for keratosis pilaris on the arms and legs. Not all Amlactin lotions have that same smell and the odor dissipates on me. I use them on my feet at bedtime under socks. They help slough off calluses and make your nails healthier.

This 😂 made me laugh. What are "gravy granules"? Perhaps adding an essential oil might help. Mix well.

I completely understand you😂I had almost to throw up when I smelled it the first time, but I added a few drops of pure lemon oil, that helped a lot. Give it a shot🎉

I did too!! And it’s vile smelling!! I agree I can’t stand the aroma 😂👍👍👍👍👍. Glad to hear it from you also. I have to toss it.

From Amlactin website : Our products are formulated without fragrance to minimize skin irritation. That said, the Lactic Acid salts we use in our formulas do have a naturally occurring smell that fades away after application. Some describe it as maple syrup, and some describe it as medicinal, and it can vary from batch to batch and with the unique pH of your skin, but have no fear - that just means it’s working! They also don’t use fragrance because it can irritate sensitive skin.

Dont waste your money, it's really awful.

You have helped me so many times over the years that I've watched you. Now I hope my tip will help you. I have been using Amlactin for over a decade but agree with you about the smell. I have a body oil that is scented but does not cause a reaction on my skin. However, the oil does not exfoliate. So I mix a generous amount of Amlactin with 6 -7 drops of scented oil in my palm , mix and apply. Works to mask the smell of the Amlactin until whatever the cause, has evaporated. The oil I use alas, is discontinued. But the process works. Or try the Alpha 12% as suggested by another.

I really laughed when you smelt it 🤣🤣 I'm new to exfoliating but im liking the paula's choice one x

Thanks for sharing Wayne ❤

The white and blue bottle is my fave ❤

I'm literally crying!

I literally laughed out loud at this. Your reactions...PRICELESS! Thanks for the laugh today. I really needed it!😂

Love your honest reaction 😂

LOL your reactions are hilarious! I love this lotion for my KP. It smells like maple syrup to me. Even my husband says that when I use it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Omg, thank you! I was wondering if I was the only one also... but I also LOVE the performance of this product. I have been using the 15% Rapid Relief for about 6 months. I use this for those pesky little bumps on back of arms and upper thighs. Completely gone! I only use at night when I sleep. I also like it on my hands for my eczema, even though the lactic acid causes initial burning... I rotate it with CeraVe.

Yep!

Thanks for the heads up Wayne! That was on my list to try but I also have a keen sense of smell and I would hate that!

I thought it was just me! I've been trying to identify the smell since I bought it. Thanks for solving the mystery for me. 😉

Yes, it smells a bit funky from the lactic acid. AmLactin is my favorite for KP. They made a cream which was wonderful for winter. I can live with it. 😊

I bought Amlactin, and have a hard time using it due to the smell. To me, it smells like old coffee, with milk. It works really well to exfoliate and moisturize, and I don’t know what causes the smell, except perhaps their form of lactic acid? Despite how well it works, I save it to use only once in awhile. I also have a very strong sense of smell, so didn’t know if it really bothered others as well!

lol I tried the green one and it was great but oh the smell!!! I would use another lotion on top. I don’t remember why I used it so I might give it a try again for my ashy elbows 😂

Thanks for an entertaining video and critique

You are absolutely correct.

I agree the smell is awful. I put it aside for a month or two I just couldn't imagine using it on myself. I don't know if letting the product sit on my dresser helped but the smell is gone. I am using it now and I love how it helps my dry skin. I also use it on my very dry feet and it makes them look smooth and healthy again.

Agreed…it smells bad and the smell does not dissipate. I don’t think we have gravy granules in the US but I think it smells a bit like dried urine in clothing that’s been sitting for a few days…or like walking into a nursing home-A combination of gravy (as most foods are puréed for the patients) and dried urine.

Weird I was just thinking of purchasing this before this video popped up. Thank you for the warning

I am DYING!!! I haven’t laughed so hard in ages! I haven’t tried this putrid lotion, but now am scared to! Thx for the belly laugh!

That was sooooo funny! I've used the green one for year on my arms and legs. I have KP. It works beautifully. It does smell. Mine, though does dissipate. How much are you using? I use mine right after shower 2 pumps per leg and one pump per arm. Never on my trunk, my skin there is more sensitive and got irritated when I used it. As good as it works, and at a good price, you need to toss those!

Hysterical!

Ahahahaaa, I’ve tried this & hated it too! I’m pretty sensitive to smell so I assumed it was a me prob. Thanks for the giggle, Wayne!

This was tremendous!

Hi Wayne It's the Ammonium Lactate. I totally agree with you. I love everything about it BUT that horrendous smell. Git the large size here in U.S. at Costco but eventually threw away. I. Just. Can't.😁

Yes, I agree the smell is highly unpleasant, but the benefits are amazing.

Worst smelling I’ve ever come across is from the Ipsy linked brand Refreshments. Their body moisturizer smelled like straight up mildew. Like if you forgot you had run a load of clothes in the washer for 3 days. Thought it may just be ‘my nose’, but nope. Confirmed by husband and daughter. Mildew. 😷

I use it on my crepey legs and arms. Yes, it does smell unpleasant, but it does work very well. The acid come from lactose- natural sugar in milk. I find that it dissipates.

I completely agree. The most amazingly perfect exfoliating moisturizer that doesn’t leave you sticky yet smells awful.

I lather my whole body with Amlactin 15% every night after I shower. (And use other exfoliating body lotions as well on different nights) . I agree, It does stink , I think it smells like gone-off cinnamon buns but I don’t really mind it cuz the hyperpigmentation on my body diminished completely ! The results are amazing! They also work on crepey skin so my Dermatologist says.

I've purchased the Amalactin with the green label. Now that was a few years ago and I always picked it up at CVS. The podiatrist recommended it for my late husband's dry and cracked feet. It worked quickly and after a few applications there was a notable difference in the condition of his feet. The lotion had didn't smell bad. Possibly a recent formula change.

It is not a pleasant smelling lotion for sure but my KP skin is a thing of the past since using this. I only use it in the evenings and the scent dissipates fairly quickly on me. I do however enjoy your reaction to it 😂 I needed that.

Imo, I think it's Amazon. I buy the Amlactin crème and foot repair, and it doesn't smell at all, but when I purchased the Amlactin body lotion, I had to return it bc it was an off-white color (which it's not supposed to be) and it smelled rancid. I read other reviews, and most were saying the same thing...that it's either expired or just a bad lot bc when purchased from a regular store, it doesn't have any scent. Hopefully, this is the case bc Amlactin is a great product, but not from Amazon 🤢.

I love Amlactin. I don’t even notice the smell 😆. I also don’t take a big whiff but I really notice a difference when I don’t have it. I know other people mention they hate the smell.

The reviews of everyone are awesome! I'd buy it. The Smell factor would make me NOT buy it 😂 I'm conflicted.

Wayne, the clue to the source of the terrible odor is in the name of the product. The main ingredients is ammoniam lactate which comes from ammonia and lactic acid. Lactic acid comes from sour milk. What you are smelling is combination of an ammonia, byproduct and sour milk. It really does stink. The 15% used to be prescription in the US and a dermatologist prescribed it for me one time for keratosis pilaris. It really does work pretty well, but I couldn’t use it for very long because it really does stink. Lol.

Wayne get Beauty Pie acidenzyme cleanser. Face and body . Use in shower then use their wonderful Super healthy skin lotion. Amazing!

Yup. You are totally correct. In the US it stinks as well. I think it dissipates though. Use it all the time. Funny how some don’t think it smells. It always has for me.

Hi, to the best of my knowledge a source of lactic acid is obtained from fermented dairy products ie off milk - hence the stink!

I use this lotion daily. I have a low gag threshold. This lotion does not smell bad to me. The scent is very faint. You may have got a bad batch.

That stuff works!!! After a while you will love the smell :)

You're Hilarious 😂 I love you so much ❤

Hahahahah this really got me laughing! I used it this morning and ugh!! Stinking here in Los Angeles CA

I ordered my first bottle of Amlactin last year, and had to stop using it after a few days. But then I decided to put a small bit of my favorite perfume in it. Now I can use it without absolutely hating having it on.

I bought AmLactin for my keratosis pilaris on my legs about a week ago after watching a KZread video about different types of "strawberry leg" conditions and how to treat it, and although it's only been a week, I have to say my legs are left VERY hydrated and silky looking after with no tacky, sticky feeling, but MY WORD DOES IT STTTTTIIIIINK!!!!🤢 The smell doesn't even fade, it just lingers all day!!!😭 Such a shame, because I have seen great reviews that this stuff really does clear up keratosis pilaris. If you have ever tried First Aid Beauty and their BHA/AHA product is also has the same smell, but a milder version of the scent. If you don't mind putting up with the chemical smell (which I don't if it clears my legs up) I would recommend this product!

I believe that it’s the Ammonium Lactate that causes the stuff to smell. I applied it and thought my cat had peed in the bedroom. Nope, it was that stuff. I thought, oh great, I smell like a litter box 🙄

Wayne your such a gentleman, it must really stink bad.

Bought this lotion a year ago based on great reviews. Sitting in my medicine cabinet unused due to that smell.... I thought it was just me being sensitive. I laughed when I saw your post!

RegulR epsom salts baths and sanctuary body scrub .works so well from rme .

I always thought it smelled awful too! (Sour milk, to my nose.) I could only tolerate it on my feet, under thick socks before bed. 😂

For me, the smell fades after I out it in. I out it on at night after I shower. It’s the lactic acid, same smell as sour milk. It works so well (and inexpensively) for my KP. An alternative is CeraVe’s lotion or body cream with salicylic acid.

Ammonium Lactate and Urea smell so bad.... you are not alone! I tried lemon oil and lavender oil in mine and it was just too over powering. You are not alone...

The best use for Amlactin is for your feet; not recommended for face or hands. But if you have cracked, painful heels it heals them when you use it twice a day .

I only use the body lotion and while it doesn’t smell pretty it’s not terribly horrible. And it does a fantastic job and smell dissipates pretty quickly! I have a feeling exfoliate has a much stronger smell.

I whack The Ordinary's Lactic Acid on my legs before I put moisturiser on them. Always wanted to try Amlactin though, smells don't bother me but I wonder what I'd think of it 😁

That really made me laugh! How very odd, seems you're not alone!

I do. Works wonders on my ashy legs. Gave it to my mom because she has super thin dry skin.

Thank you Wayne🤣

Would adding any scented oils salvage it?

Stinks in the USA 🇺🇸 too! Had to toss mine as well!

Omg you are too funny 😊thanks for sharing 😊

I couldn’t do Amlactin. Got the double pack too. I tried for 3 nights. Couldn’t sleep it was so gross. Also I didn’t like the texture of my skin in the morning. Kind of dull and dry. Glad for that actually b/c of the smell. It was a no go.

I haven’t tried this brand but I once used an Eve Lom cleanser and it truly smelt like an infected sore. I loved the product but I had to use it in the shower because I would often vomit from the smell.

I have this, but mine doesn’t smell. I wonder if it’s different in the US? Also, just because you get it from Amazon doesn’t mean it’s real.

I actually learned about Amlactin from my grandmother because she had a prescription strength bottle. Maybe it smells because it’s burning our dry skin off. Haha! Super exfoliating!

I have been using an Asian beauty brand called ma:nyob Galactomy Enzyme Peel Gel. It’s like a serum/gel blend that you massage into your skin and wash off. During the massage, you will get so much old dead skin immediately balling up and exfoliating. You then wash and -for my skin - your face will feel as soft a baby skin and so much smoother. I feel that my peptides and C and moisturizer and sunscreen absorb so much better with doing the 2-3 times a week. I ❤ it!
