Lactic acid as a skincare ingredient which can be found in over-the-counter products as well as in more intensive professional treatments, such as a lactic acid chemical peel, which removes the top layer of the skin to produce smoother, brighter looking skin. Lactic acid is milder than other types of acids used in skincare as it only penetrates the outer layers of the skin. This is why lactic acid for skin is an excellent skincare ingredient for those with a sensitive type who might be cautious about using more abrasive peels and exfoliants in their skincare routines. If you've previously used another AHA in the past and found it too strong, lactic acid is a good option to try.
