Lactic Acid, a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), is either derived from milk or created synthetically for use in skincare. It’s recognised for its mild exfoliating effect, making it a good option for those looking to achieve a more radiant and refined complexion without the intensity of stronger acids.

How is it used?

In dermatology, lactic acid is commonly used in serums, exfoliating peels, and moisturisers. It gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding and stimulating cell renewal. Thanks to its humectant properties, it also helps attract moisture, making it particularly beneficial for dry or ageing skin.

The advantages of lactic acid include a smoother, more even skin tone, diminished fine lines, and reduced pigmentation. Because it’s less irritating than other acids, it’s a great option for those with sensitive skin or those new to chemical exfoliation. Its dual action—exfoliating and hydrating—leaves skin looking fresher, plumper, and more radiant.
