Buying lactic acid at Skins

Lactic acid is a mild exfoliant that refines, brightens and supports even skin tone. Our Skins Experts selected formulas that combine effectiveness and comfort to suit different skin needs.

What is lactic acid and what does it do for your skin?

Lactic acid, also known as lactic acid, belongs to the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). It exfoliates the skin surface by loosening dead skin cells, leaving the skin feeling smoother and more luminous. Because lactic acid acts more gently than many other acids, it is an accessible choice for those who want to exfoliate with attention to balance.

With regular use, the skin looks less dull and the complexion gains evenness. Skin texture is refined and feels more comfortable.

What is lactic acid good for?

Lactic acid is suitable when your skin could use a boost or when you want to work on texture and brightness. By removing dead skin cells, it smoothes the skin's surface and gives caring ingredients more room to do their job.

In formulas like Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment from Sunday Riley, lactic acid exfoliates dull skin's surface for an instant glow. The high purity of the lactic acid helps visibly refine skin and reduce dark discolouration caused by sun exposure. Liquorice supports brighter and smoother skin.

How often should you use lactic acid?

How often you use lactic acid depends on its concentration and how your skin reacts. Many people use lactic acid once to three times a week as part of their evening routine. Our Skins Experts recommend building up use slowly and observing carefully how your skin feels.

Because exfoliation makes skin more sensitive to UV rays, it is important to always combine lactic acid with SPF during the day.

Advice from our Skins Experts

Our Skins Experts look not only at your skin type, but also at your lifestyle and routine. They will help you determine whether lactic acid suits your skincare and how to combine it with other active ingredients, such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. Do you have any questions or want personal advice? Our Skins Experts are at your service, both online and in our boutiques.
