10% Lactic Acid 30ml

A high-strength, complexion-evening serum that rapidly exfoliates and removes dull, dead surface cells to instantly brighten and smooth the appearance of dark spots or discoloured patches for a more unified, radiant glow.

WHY PICK ME

Lactic Acid is a well-researched alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its excellent exfoliating effects on the superficial layers of the skin but with a much larger molecular size that penetrates less deeply and therefore works more gently than most other AHAs, making it a better tolerated alternative for sensitive/reactive skin types. 

Apart from its ability to fade signs of discoloration, including post-breakout marks, by hastening the shedding and renewal of surface cells that have a visible accumulation of excess pigment, Lactic Acid also offers the extra benefit of improving the skin’s natural moisture factor (NMF) by increasing levels of stratum corneum ceramides.

Additionally enhanced with N-Acetyl Glucosamine, a replenishing amino sugar and a precursor for the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid, to ensure that the skin remains hydrated and to prevent wrinkles from forming or getting deeper while inhibiting the shaping of age spots/melasma caused by overactive pigment cells. 

Further supported by anti-inflammatory Panthenol, a pro-vitamin B that relieves irritation while also strengthening skin barrier function; alongside multitasking Beta-Glucan to provide progressive and prolonged moisturizing effects as well as limit the sensations of tightness, dryness or discomfort while promoting dermal regeneration and protecting against desquamation.
