Lactic Acid
INCI
SUMMARY
Lactic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) sourced from fermented milk, fruits and plants known for its ability to exfoliate skin. It's commonly used to remove dead skin cells in skincare products like toners, serums and peels. It's also used in anti-aging formulas to help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promote a more even skin tone. Lactic acid is sometimes included in acne treatments to create a smoother, brighter complexion.
