Lactic acid powder, Derived from natural sources such as milk or fermented plant materials, it's a gentle yet effective alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that plays a key role in exfoliating, brightening, and rejuvenating the skin. It works by breaking down bonds between dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and improving the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Lactic acid not only helps smooth the skin, but also improves moisturization levels, making it suitable for all skin types, especially dry or sensitive skin.
