Lactic acid is a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products for its gentle exfoliating and hydrating properties. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their removal to reveal smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. Lactic acid is also well-known for its ability to boost skin hydration by attracting moisture, making it a versatile ingredient for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, lactic acid is often found in products such as serums, toners, masks, and chemical peels.

BENEFITS

• Exfoliation: Gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and enhances skin renewal.
• Hydration: Acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture for improved skin elasticity and plumpness.
• Brightening: Helps even out skin tone, reducing the appearance of dark spots, pigmentation, and dullness.
• Improves Skin Texture: Softens rough patches and minimizes fine lines for smoother skin.
• Supports Collagen Production: Stimulates collagen synthesis, contributing to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

HOW TO USE

• In Skincare Products: Incorporate into formulations such as serums, exfoliating pads, or creams.
• As a Chemical Peel: Dilute appropriately and apply as a gentle peel for professional use.
• In DIY Skincare: Use as an ingredient in homemade toners, masks, or cleansers, ensuring proper dilution to avoid skin irritation.

PRECAUTIONS

• Dilution Required: Always dilute lactic acid to a safe concentration (usually under 10% for home use) before applying to the skin. Undiluted use may cause irritation or burns.
• Patch Test: Perform a patch test before use to ensure no adverse reactions occur.
• Sun Sensitivity: Lactic acid may increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen during the day when using products containing lactic acid.
• Avoid Open Wounds: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
• Consult a Professional: If unsure about usage or concentrations, consult a dermatologist or cosmetic chemist.
