Skincare
Lactic acid is a strong alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with excellent exfoliant, moisturising and deep cleansing properties.
It requires a low pH of between 2.0 and 3.3. At a pH 5.5 it is totally ineffective.
>NOTE: Please be aware that when you use alpha hydroxy acids on the skin you are exposing new skin, which is much more susceptible to UV damage. Always follow with an adequate sunscreen.
Lactic acid is weaker than glycolic acid but the latter is too dangerous to use except for commercial skincare manufacturers.
