Lactic acid 85% is a concentrated alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) offering several benefits for the skin. Here are its advantages:
- Deep exfoliation: Lactic acid 85% deeply exfoliates, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.
- Skin texture: Improves skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Hyperpigmentation: Fades hyperpigmentation and acne scars.
- Hydration: Lactic acid is humectant, retaining moisture and hydrating the skin.
- Skin tone: Evens out skin tone, reducing redness.
Precautions:
- Use sunscreen daily, as lactic acid increases sun sensitivity.
- Patch test before use.
- Start with lower concentrations (10-20%) and increase as skin tolerates.
- Avoid on broken or irritated skin.
Usage:
- 1-2 times a week, depending on skin tolerance.
- Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding sensitive areas.
- Neutralize with water or a soothing toner.
Consult a dermatologist or skincare expert before using lactic acid 85%, especially if you have sensitive skin.
