Exfoliate
Like other types of AHA, lactic acid has the ability to exfoliate strongly. It removes dead skin cells in the outermost layer of the skin, stimulating the regeneration of new cells, helping the skin become bright, healthy and radiant from within.
Moisturize
A study published in the Journal of Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology said that lactic acid helps moisturize the skin and improve water retention, thereby preventing dry skin. Keeping your skin hydrated also helps reduce the risk of small wrinkles.
stimulates collagen production
Collagen helps tone and rejuvenate skin. However, after the age of 25, collagen production begins to decline. Applying lactic acid to the skin to stimulate collagen production, helps slow down the aging process and maintain smooth, youthful skin.
Reduces dark spots and increases pigmentation
Thanks to its exfoliating ability, lactic acid is especially effective in fading dark and dark skin areas. At the same time, it helps improve skin tone, bringing more even skin tone.
Note: lactic acid can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. So, use lactic acid in the evening and remember to apply sunscreen the next morning before going out.
