Ammonium lactate contains lactic acid which is a normal constituent of skin. It can cause mild exfoliation and influence hydration in the skin, thereby providing relief from dry skin and itching.
It is available as a low-cost generic (by prescription only) and over-the-counter as a brand name product.
It has been found to be safe in children as young as 2 years of age.
Ammonium lactate can make your skin more sensitive to natural or artificial sunlight and increase the risk of sunburn.
It is not ideal for use on the face and other areas with sun exposure.
It can take a few weeks of using ammonium lactate regularly before you notice improvement in your skin.
