Frequently Asked Questions

Product Basics

We work beyond the surface. Powered by multi-tasking Lactic Acid, our products gently exfoliate, boost skin cell turnover, and deeply hydrate in one step. Instead of sitting on top of skin like many moisturizers, we help renew and smooth for visible results.
Yes, our products are formulated without added fragrance to help minimize irritation, especially for sensitive skin. You may notice a naturally neutral scent rather than a noticeable fragrance. We avoid adding fragrance and focus on ingredients that deliver visible results. You can layer a fragranced product on top if you prefer.
We've updated our packaging with a more modern, clean look and refined our formulas using a higher-quality, purer form of Lactic Acid. This means the same trusted efficacy you expect—now with an improved, more neutral scent. You may still see different packaging in stores as updates roll out.

Ingredients

Our products contain clinically proven concentrations of Lactic Acid ranging from 2% to 15%, which refers to how much Lactic Acid is in each formula. If you're new to AHAs, start with lower concentrations (2-12%). For more advanced or targeted use, try higher concentrations like 15%. For more details, check product pages or take our product finder quiz.
Our formulas use AHAs like Ammonium Lactate, Lactic Acid, and Glycolic Acid. Most products use Ammonium Lactate, which is derived from fermented corn and manufactured in the USA.
Yes, we are cruelty-free and do not test on animals or sell in markets that require it. While we can't guarantee every ingredient is fully vegan, our Lactic Acid is plant-derived (not dairy).
Our formulas are not expected to clog pores and they help gently exfoliate to keep skin clear. However, most products have not been specifically tested for non-comedogenicity.

Usage & Application

Use 1-2 times daily or as directed by a physician. Mild tingling may occur, especially on sensitive skin. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
Yes, our products can be included in your skincare routine when using these products or any other. Consulting with a physician can provide further insight into the ideal routine for your specific skin needs.
Our products are mainly formulated for the body but can also be used on the face and scalp. Lactic Acid helps gently exfoliate and hydrate dry or rough areas. Start with a small amount and increase as tolerated.
Our products can be used for children ages 2 and up. Start with lower Lactic Acid formulas due to more sensitive skin. While not specifically tested during pregnancy or nursing, our products are fragrance-free and designed to be gentle. Consult your healthcare provider before use.
Yes, but because our products contain Lactic Acid (an AHA), they may increase sun sensitivity. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using the product and for a week after.

Skin Concerns & Results

Each formula is designed for specific skin concerns, with varying levels of Lactic Acid and supporting ingredients. Check product pages for details or take our product finder quiz.
Our products help improve the look of hyperpigmentation by gently exfoliating and supporting skin renewal. They help smooth, brighten, and promote a more even-looking skin tone over time.
Yes, we can help improve rough, dry skin associated with different skin conditions and support smoother, more hydrated-looking skin. Amlactin will not treat or cure these conditions, but as a fragrance-free exfoliating moisturizer, it can be a great accessory to help improve the look of your skin. Start slowly and monitor your skin's response. Avoid use on open or broken skin.
Our products hydrate immediately, with visible improvements in smoother, healthier-looking skin typically seen within weeks with consistent use.
