Lactic acid is a hydrating alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It’s a gentle yet effective exfoliant that works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells.

Lactic acid smooths and evens the skin whilst also making it firmer which in turn reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Lactic acid is also known for its benefits in treatment of acne, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. Lactic acid is one of the mildest forms of AHA’s so its safe to use on sensitive skin.
