Lactic acid is an anti-wrinkle and
anti-pigmentation component that can be found in both OTC and professional
skincare products.
Lactic acid is derived from milk and
belongs to the alpha-hydroxy acid family of anti-aging compounds (AHAs).
Glycolic acid and citric acid are two further examples of AHAs. Lactic acid peel is used to treat
hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other conditions that cause a dull and uneven
complexion. Improved skin tone and pore appearance are two further advantages
of AHAs like lactic acid.
