Helps Improve Skin Tone and Texture with Regular Use
Concentration: 12% | pH: ~3
A gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment that smooths, brightens, and hydrates the skin.
What is Lactic Acid?
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like lactic acid are popular exfoliants that work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion. Lactic acid is known for its dual action—effectively exfoliating while keeping the skin hydrated.
Regular use of lactic acid can help:
- Exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells
- Brighten and even out skin tone and texture
- Stimulate collagen production for firmer skin
- Provide deep hydration and skin renewal
Effective Treatment for Keratosis Pilaris (KP)
Rough, bumpy patches (often called “chicken skin”) are commonly caused by keratin buildup. Lactic acid dissolves these keratin plugs, leading to smoother skin. With consistent use, you may experience softer, clearer skin. However, KP requires regular maintenance, as symptoms can return if treatment stops.
Did You Know?
Cleopatra was an early adopter of AHAs, famously using milk baths to soften and rejuvenate her skin. Ancient Egyptians discovered that the lactic acid in milk provided natural exfoliation and hydration—benefits we still rely on today!

Important Notes
- A slight tingling or redness may occur, especially during initial use. This should subside as your skin adjusts. Start by using it once or twice a week.
- Do not combine with manual exfoliants like scrubs to avoid irritation.
- Sun Sensitivity: Lactic acid can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Always apply sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product.
- Avoid use on damaged, sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.
- Do not apply immediately after shaving, waxing, or epilating.
