What is Lactic Acid?
Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) naturally found in milk and fermented products. In skincare, it’s known for its exfoliating properties, gently removing dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin. By improving skin texture and boosting hydration, lactic acid in skincare helps achieve a more radiant, even-toned complexion.
How to Incorporate Lactic Acid into Your Skincare Routine
To effectively use lactic acid skincare products, start with a product containing a low concentration, applying it 2-3 times a week. Gradually increase frequency based on skin tolerance, and combine with other skincare staples like moisturisers to maximise the benefits. For best results, use lactic acid in the evening and always follow with sunscreen during the day.
What are the primary benefits of using lactic acid in skincare?
Lactic acid skincare offers several benefits, including gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, improved hydration, and enhanced skin tone and texture. By promoting a smoother, more radiant complexion, it’s a versatile ingredient in achieving healthier skin.
How often should I use lactic acid products?
For optimal results, use lactic acid skincare products 2-3 times a week. Overuse can lead to irritation, so start slowly and increase usage as your skin builds tolerance to this effective exfoliant.
Can lactic acid be combined with other active ingredients?
Yes, lactic acid can be safely combined with other actives like hyaluronic acid for added hydration or retinol for enhanced anti-ageing benefits. Layer lactic acid in your routine first, followed by other actives, and monitor your skin for any signs of irritation.
