Lactic acid is the mildest of all AHAs and works very well on the skin. It is also a natural antibacterial, which makes it great for acne and blemish-prone skin. It also encourages cell turnover and helps fade hyperpigmentation spots like sunspots, making it a true hero ingredient. As an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid, this multitasking ingredient brightens, exfoliates, and helps the skin absorb more vitamin C, helping to firm and tighten the appearance of pores. It also helps to fade sun spots and age spots, reduces acne lesions, and smoothes fine lines and wrinkles.
