Lactic acid
Share
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) commonly used in skincare for its exfoliating and hydrating properties. Derived from milk or fermented foods, it gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface, promoting their removal and revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. This exfoliation helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance radiance. Additionally, lactic acid acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and helping to maintain hydration. Its dual action of exfoliating and moisturizing makes it a valuable ingredient for achieving a brighter, more even complexion while keeping the skin plump and hydrated.
