Expert Tip for Lactic Acid

"Lactic acid is a great way to gently smooth and brighten your skin. After cleansing, apply your lactic acid treatment to help lift away dead skin cells and boost your skin’s natural glow. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference, helping your other products work even better. Just don’t forget SPF the next day, fresh skin needs extra protection."

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 acid, mandelic 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.
