The Benefits Of Lactic Acid

A gentle giant in the skincare world, lactic acid is the mildest member of the alpha hydroxy acid family, but no less effective than its cousins, which include glycolic acidmandelic acid, and citric acid. Naturally derived from dairy products, lactic acid's uses for skin dates back to the days of Cleopatra, when the Egyptian queen bathed in milk for smoother, softer, youthful-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lactic acid and how does it benefit the skin?

Lactic acid is a gentle exfoliating ingredient derived from milk that helps to remove dead skin cells, smooth uneven texture, and boost hydration – leaving skin brighter, softer and more radiant.

Is lactic acid suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, lactic acid is often well-tolerated by sensitive skin types thanks to its mild exfoliating properties and added hydrating benefits. Start slowly and build up usage as your skin adjusts.

How often should I use lactic acid in my skincare routine?

Most skin types can use lactic acid 2 to 3 times a week. If you’re new to acids, begin with once a week and increase gradually to avoid over-exfoliation.

Can I use lactic acid with other active ingredients?

Lactic acid pairs well with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, but take care when layering it with stronger actives such as retinol or vitamin C. Always patch test and monitor your skin’s response.

What products contain lactic acid?

From exfoliating serums and overnight treatments to hydrating toners, our curated lactic acid skincare collection includes options for every skin type and concern.

Will lactic acid make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Yes, exfoliating acids like lactic acid can increase sun sensitivity. Always follow with SPF during the day to protect and maintain your skin’s glow.
