Upsher-Smith Launches AmLactin® XL™ Moisturizing Lotion

Addition to AmLactin® Line: A Clinically Proven Superior Moisturizer1

MINNEAPOLIS, September 24, 2004—Dry skin season is fast approaching. This year, there’s a solution to help alleviate dry skin symptoms: AmLactin® XL™ Moisturizing Lotion with its unique ULTRAPLEX Formulation. This extension to Upsher-Smith’s AmLactin® product line features a proprietary lactic acid alpha-hydroxy blend proven to be a clinically superior moisturizer.1

“Serious dry skin calls for a serious moisturizer,” says an executive at Upsher-Smith. “Our new AmLactin® XL™ product offers a unique blend of high potency lactic acids and is clinically proven to be a superior moisturizer with excellent tolerability.”1

Currently, Upsher-Smith’s AmLactin® products are among the most recommended moisturizers for rough, dry skin, according to a 2003 survey published in Dermatology Times. As an extension to the successful AmLactin® product line, AmLactin® XL™’s hydrating properties (including skin surface hydration and water binding capacity) are proven significantly more effective in moisturizing skin.1 The AmLactin® family of moisturizing creams and lotions contains a special formulation of lactic acid, a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid and humectant that enables skin to better retain moisture.

AmLactin® XL™ Moisturizing Lotion ULTRAPLEX™ Formulation is fragrance free and available without a prescription. It is designed to moisturize and soften rough, dry skin and is also a great alternative for diabetic patients suffering from dry skin. AmLactin® XL™ will be professionally promoted to physicians and pharmacies beginning September 2004.
