Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is a natural substance, which belongs to alpha-hydroxy acids. It has a gentle exfoliating effect, which stimulates the skin to actively produce ceramides, improving its barrier function.

Lactic acid has a potent moisturizing effect, creating an aqueous shell around itself. It also aids in the proper distribution of water towards the deep layers of the dermis.

Unlike other organic acids, lactic acid is recommended for use on even the most sensitive skin. It is also known for its ability to prevent the clogging of the sebaceous glands and the formation of blackheads.
