Description

FSS LACTIC ACID 88%

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. This helps promote cell turnover and improve the skin’s overall smoothness, brightness, and texture. Lactic acid can also help reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, acne marks, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Compared with stronger AHAs, lactic acid is generally considered more gentle and hydrating. It has a larger molecular structure than glycolic acid, so it penetrates the skin more slowly and is typically less irritating. Lactic acid also acts as a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. Because of this combination of exfoliating and hydrating properties, it can be especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin while still providing effective surface exfoliation.

Benefits:

• Humectant

• Exfoliating

• Hydrating
