AmLactin with 12% lactic acid is very similar in purpose to the 15% version but is slightly milder and often better tolerated by more sensitive skin types.
What it does
• Exfoliates gently to remove dead skin buildup
• Smooths rough, dry, bumpy skin
• Helps keratosis pilaris and uneven texture
• Adds moisture to dry skin by boosting natural hydration
How it compares to 15% lactic acid
Less intense exfoliation — great if you find 15% too strong or irritating
Better for first-time acid users or sensitive areas
Slightly gentler turnover but still effective for texture and dry patches
Who it’s best for
• Sensitive or reactive skin
• Those new to lactic acid
• Daily use if stronger acids cause irritation
