Features & Benefits

Benefits / Application

Lactic acid is being used to rejuvenate the skin by encouraging the shedding of old surface skin cells. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, irregular pigmentation, age spots & decreases enlarged pores. Lactic acid is a good choice for firsttime peel users or for those with sensitive skin. Also often used in creams & lotions at a lower concentration for a gentler acid-based peel.
