🎯 At a Glance
🔬 How It Actually Works
An alpha-hydroxy acid derived from milk. Its larger molecule size means it stays on the surface of the skin, gently dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells together without penetrating deep enough to cause severe irritation.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Fades superficial pigmentation, smooths rough texture, and uniquely acts as a humectant to draw moisture into the skin.
💡 Pro Tip
Great for beginners to chemical exfoliation. Apply on dry skin after cleansing.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
All acids dry out your skin.
The Science
Lactic acid is actually a part of your skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and hydrates while it exfoliates.
