Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating and hydrating properties. It's a naturally occurring organic acid, often derived from milk or fermented foods, and is a popular ingredient in skincare products. Lactic acid works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding and revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. It also acts as a humectant.
