  • Gentle Exfoliation

    • Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, helping to shed them and reveal smoother, fresher skin. 

    • Because of its larger molecular size compared to some other AHAs, it’s often better tolerated by sensitive skin. 

  • Improves Skin Texture & Smoothness

    • Regular use can help smooth out rough patches, fine lines, and wrinkles by promoting cell turnover and skin renewal. 

    • In studies, 5–12% lactic acid improved skin thickness and firmness. 

  • Hydration Boost

    • Unlike some exfoliants, lactic acid also acts as a humectant: it draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it.

    • It helps support the skin’s natural moisture barrier, in part by increasing ceramide production. 

  • Brightening & Even Skin Tone

    • By gently exfoliating, it helps fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven tone.

    • It can also reduce melanin production, which contributes to more balanced skin pigmentation.

  • Supports Skin Barrier & Skin Health

    • Helps maintain the skin’s slightly acidic pH, which is important for a healthy skin barrier.

    • Promotes collagen stimulation — meaning firmer, more elastic skin over time.

    • May accelerate healing and tissue regeneration
