Does anyone know if lotions really help? Or is it better from the inside out?

Scientifically speaking, lotions cannot restore the elasticity of your skin topically. Some might create a temporary effect, but it won't actually "fix" the skin. Your body will reabsorb/slough off some of it, which can take up to a year after rapid weight loss, and toning the muscles underneath will help give the appearance of tighter skin. Beyond that, if after a year there are still areas that bother you with loose skin, you'd probably have to look into surgical options if you wanted it fixed.
