Description
Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 5% formulation offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. A stronger 10% formula is available here.
This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.
Contraindications: Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.
This pH of this formula is approximately 3.8. Lactic Acid has a pKa of 3.8 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.
Note: While Lactic Acid can result in quick visible benefits, we generally suggest indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids. Please refer to NIOD’s Non-Acid Acid Precursor for such a reference.
Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

It broke me out… couldn’t use this product for long. Applied it once a week at night after washing face with a cleasner and before moisturizer. Every time I woke up with breakouts all over my face. My skin is very oily and acne prone… cannot recommend.

It’s a beginner friendly chemical exfoliator…
Anyone who wants to start chemical exfoliator can try this…
Most people are saying that it works slowly, but one have to mind it that it’s a beginner friendly chemical exfoliator.
After finishing one bottle of this, your skin is ready to tolerate other strong chemical exfoliator.
Where, at the beginning using any strong chemical exfoliator is totally harmful for skin

this is an amazing serum. with regular use my skin became brighter and smoother. it is also great for dry skin because lactic acid is a humectant. so it hydrates the skin. if you are a beginner you should start with the 5% ; then gradually go up to the 10%.
