    Comment in:

    This double-blind study was designed to evaluate treatment results and time effects of 12% ammonium lactate and 5% lactic acid lotion for moderate to severe xerosis. Results showed 12% ammonium lactate lotion was significantly more effective than 5% lactic acid lotion in reducing the severity of xerosis in both the 3-week, twice-a-day treatment period and the following 3-week, no-treatment (regression) period.
