Review (5/5): Ammonium lactate lotion is the only moisturizer that has ever worked for my eczema
I have been using ammonium lactate lotion for 20+ years. Every other moisturizer would work on my eczema at first, but then I would have to apply it more and more often because it would cause a flair up to to gradually get worse.
This does not do that. It works on eczema.
It does not absorb terribly well. Use a very little. Start with one drop on hands. Applying twice, letting it absorb between, works better than using too much. Once you wash it off, it is gone and must be reapplied.
If your eczema is flairing up, this might burn a little bit for a few seconds on very irritated skin. A few seconds of sting feels better than itching. Once you have it under control, you should not get so irritated again with regular use.
