Why Use Lactic Acid for Skin?

Lactic Acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk, is a key ingredient in many skincare products due to its exfoliating and hydrating properties. It helps remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion. Lactic Acid is also known for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and enhancing overall skin radiance. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, it provides gentle yet effective exfoliation without causing irritation.

Benefits of Lactic Acid for Skin

Exfoliation: Gently removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover for a fresher, more vibrant complexion.

Hydration: Attracts moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump.

Improves Skin Texture: Smooths rough patches and evens out skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Brightens Complexion: Enhances skin radiance by reducing dullness and revealing a brighter complexion.

Gentle on Skin: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, due to its mild nature.

How to Use Lactic Acid Products

Step 1: Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities.

Step 2: Apply Lactic Acid Product: Gently apply a small amount of lactic acid serum or lotion to your face, avoiding the eye area.

Step 3: Moisturise: Follow with a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and keep your skin supple.

Step 4: Protect: During the day, finish with sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

Tip: Use lactic acid products in the evening and start with 2-3 times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin adjusts.
