Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid is a mild but effective alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk or plants, known for its exfoliating and hydrating properties. It is widely used to promote a smoother, more even complexion by gently removing dead skin cells, improving skin texture, and enhancing radiance. Lactic acid is particularly suitable for those with sensitive skin who are seeking the benefits of exfoliation without irritation.
HOW IT WORKS Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, allowing them to be shed more easily. This helps to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin. Unlike some stronger acids, lactic acid also has humectant properties, meaning it draws moisture from the environment to help keep the skin hydrated. This dual action of exfoliation and hydration makes it a great choice for improving skin texture and appearance without causing dryness or sensitivity.
Potential Benefits of Lactic Acid
- Gentle Exfoliation: Helps remove dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion.
- Skin Hydration: Its humectant properties provide hydration, preventing the skin from becoming dry or irritated during the exfoliation process.
- Improves Skin Tone: Regular use of lactic acid can help even out skin tone, reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Boosts Collagen Production: Encourages collagen synthesis, which can improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
Who Should Use Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid is suitable for all skin types, but it is especially beneficial for those with dry, sensitive, or dull skin. It's a great choice for individuals looking for a gentle exfoliant to improve skin texture, enhance radiance, and boost hydration. People with more sensitive skin can benefit from lactic acid's milder exfoliating action compared to other AHAs.
How to use Lactic Acid in your routine?
Apply Lactic Acid in your evening skincare routine after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing. Start with a lower concentration (typically 5% to 10%) to see how your skin responds. If you're new to AHAs, be sure to patch test first. Always use sunscreen in the morning, as AHA exfoliants can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun.
