Lactic acid

This multi-purpose exfoliating acid is an excellent choice for glowing, smooth, firm and moisturised skin. An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), lactic acid works by stimulating the skin to eliminate dead cells and transferring new cells to the surface. It is already present in the skin's NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor), which is a whole range of substances vital for keeping the skin soft and moisturised. As a larger molecule than glycolic acid, lactic acid is generally well tolerated by most skin types.

Key Benefits

  • Firming and smoothing: Smoothes the rough texture of the skin, making it visibly more radiant. It is also proven to firm the skin and soften the appearance of lines

  • Brightens: Gently brightens the complexion through exfoliation by eliminating older pigmented skin cells from the surface.

  • Moisture booster: in lower concentrations, lactic acid works as a humectant, which attracts and retains a reservoir of moisture to keep the skin hydrated

We have carried out contact tests with exfoliating acids for the first time, to ensure that they are compatible with your skin
