Lactic Acid can be very effective for many skin conditions and types. This treatment is easy to tolerate due to its large molecular weight and hydrating, soothing ingredients. Lactic Acid Peel is a great introductory peel and can be used for general exfoliation, hyperpigmentation, smoothing, and stimulating all skin types.

What is Lactic Acid?

Lactic Acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid. It’s a chemical produced by sour milk that has been used for thousands of years as a beauty treatment. Ancient Egyptian Queen Cleopatra is known for having used lactic acid for its anti-aging and beauty-boosting properties.

What Does Lactic Acid Do to Your Skin?

Like most chemical peels, lactic acid helps to increase cell turnover and boost collagen production.

Exfoliates

A lactic acid peel removes dead skin, excess oil, and impurities to rejuvenate your skin. It’s also a collagen-boosting treatment, stimulating the body to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines for younger-looking skin naturally.

Moisturizes

A lactic acid peel can be an effective moisturizing treatment if you suffer from dry skin. The lactic acid strengthens the skin’s natural barrier lipids, helping to lock in moisture and providing deep hydration.

Evens Out Skin Tone

A lactic acid peel can be a great beauty tool to address uneven skin tone by removing the superficial layer of dead skin. Over a series of treatments, skin becomes more even-toned, smoother, and more precise.

It’s also important to avoid picking, scrubbing, or damaging the skin before a chemical peel. Your practitioner will examine your skin before treatment to ensure there are no abrasions that could cause painful side effects.
