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
