Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% is a gentle exfoliating solution that uses alpha hydroxy acid to improve skin texture. This formulation provides very mild exfoliation and is enhanced with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry extract, known for its ability to alleviate inflammation and sensitivity often associated with exfoliation. The Tasmanian pepperberry derivative included in this formula is plant-derived and may show seasonal color variations, which are normal and do not affect the efficacy of the product.
When to Avoid Use
Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. For additional sun protection information and other warnings, refer to the provided Directions. The formula’s pH is approximately 3.8, which aligns with the pKa of lactic acid (3.8). This balance ensures optimal acid availability and effectiveness while minimizing irritation. Higher pH levels could increase salt content, potentially causing more irritation.
How to Use
- Apply once daily, preferably in the evening.
- Can be diluted with other treatments to decrease strength until your skin builds tolerance.
- Limit the frequency and duration of contact with the skin.
