About Lab Alley Brand Lactic Acid Products And How They Are Used
How Lab Alley Brand Lactic Acid Products Are Used For Making Skin Care Products
Lactic acid is a great exfoliant. Exfoliating your skin is important for skin health and normal function. Glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid work great to address fine lines, dark spots, and sun damage.
Lab Alley Brand Salicylic Acid Solutions, when diluted to a 12% concentration, are wonderful for treating oily, sensitive, or acne-prone skin.
Lactic acid brightens dullness, smooths, and evens skin, while also making it look firmer. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. It exfoliates by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells to reveal a more radiant complexion.
Lactic acid is specifically used to treat hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other factors that contribute to a dull and uneven complexion. Other benefits of AHAs like lactic acid include improved skin tone and reduced pore appearance. However, unlike AHAs such as glycolic acid, lactic acid is a bit milder.
Lactic acid is an over-the-counter chemical exfoliant that comes from the fermentation of lactose — a carbohydrate found in milk. It's a popular ingredient in numerous skin care products nowadays. But its use is nothing new. It dates back to ancient Egypt. It's common knowledge that Cleopatra used to bathe in sour milk to keep her skin looking more youthful.
Like glycolic and mandelic acids, lactic acid belongs to the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family.

Besides its ability to significantly improve the skin's appearance, it helps keep it naturally hydrated.
