Liquid Lactic Acid is a skincare ingredient that is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and humectant that is widely used for anti-aging, hyper-pigmentation, dryness, and acne. Considered the top AHA for sensitive skin types, lactic acid is a keratolytic meaning it exfoliates dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. This exfoliation reduces existing fine lines and wrinkles, fades hyper-pigmentation, and clears acne. Lactic acid is also a humectant meaning it chemically attracts water molecules to itself. Lactic acid draws moisture to your newly exfoliated skin meaning it not only hydrates dry skin but also prevents new fine lines and wrinkles from forming. Lactic acid also increases the penetration of other skincare ingredients making your other skin care products more effective.

Lactic acid is often used as a natural pH adjuster in formulations. Produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates, this product does not contain bovine, ovine, or caprine materials of any type.
