Ammonium Lactate（Cat No.:I014792）is a compound formed by combining lactic acid with ammonium hydroxide, commonly used in dermatology for its moisturizing and exfoliating properties. It is especially effective in treating dry, scaly skin conditions like xerosis and ichthyosis, as it helps attract and retain moisture while gently exfoliating dead skin cells. Often found in lotions and creams, ammonium lactate enhances skin smoothness, hydration, and elasticity. Its mild keratolytic action makes it suitable for sensitive skin, and it’s frequently prescribed to improve skin texture and reduce rough patches caused by environmental factors or aging.
