FAQs About Lactic Acid Skincare

Why should I choose Lactic Acid skincare products for my routine?

If you’re looking for a product infused with an active ingredient that effectively refines, exfoliates, improves skin texture and hydrates without compromising your skin’s moisture barrier, lactic acid is an excellent choice. Whether you’re dealing with congestion from makeup and SPF buildup, rough patches or uneven tone, this alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) dissolves dead skin cells, unclogs pores and smoothes the skin. Research suggests that consistent, long-term application coupled with our regular Medi Peel treatments can also gradually soften the appearance of fine lines, surface wrinkles and pigmentation. When you choose our lactic acid skincare, you’re incorporating a scientifically backed solution into your daily routine to drive better results.

How does Lactic Acid in skincare products improve my skin?

Lactic acid is a mild, water-soluble AHA that dissolves dead skin cells while drawing in moisture to keep the skin hydrated and luminous. This dual-action approach smooths bumpy texture, brightens dull areas and helps address concerns like dryness, oiliness in the T-zone and breakouts. Unlike harsher exfoliants, this ingredient supports the skin barrier rather than compromising it, meaning you can easily incorporate our lactic acid skincare products into your regime.

Is Lactic Acid in skincare suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, lactic acid is one of the gentlest AHAs, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, as with any new product, we recommend doing a patch test prior to use. Also, those prone to sensitivities, redness or irritation should seek advice from their dermatologist or gradually introduce lactic acid skincare products into their routine. Following up with a moisturiser — like our Nightly Rejuvenator — can further support the skin barrier, prevent Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and nourish the skin.
