The 40% Lactic Acid Peel is a powerful yet gentle exfoliator designed to improve your skin’s texture and radiance. Ideal for those with sensitive skin or those new to chemical peels, this peel effectively removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. With its mild formula, it offers all the benefits of a chemical peel without the irritation associated with harsher acids like Glycolic Acid.
As an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), Lactic Acid naturally occurs in our skin and is a key component of the skin's natural moisturising factor. Unlike Glycolic Acid, which can sometimes cause dryness, Lactic Acid is a better hydrator, making it perfect for those prone to dryness or irritation. The 40% concentration in this peel helps stimulate cell turnover, accelerating the shedding of dead skin cells and boosting your skin’s natural renewal process.
When applied, the Lactic Acid Peel works on the outer layer of skin, dissolving dead skin cells and encouraging the production of new, healthy cells. Over time, this results in a thinner top layer of skin, while the deeper layers become thicker, firmer, and tighter thanks to stimulated collagen production. This process helps to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Derived from sour milk, the Lactic Acid Peel is a gentler alternative to other chemical peels. Its pH of 2.2 and large molecular size ensure it works effectively without causing redness, stinging, or irritation, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin, those prone to breakouts, or those under 35 looking to try a chemical peel for the first time.
After cleansing, apply a thin layer of the 40% Lactic Acid Peel to the face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 1-3 minutes depending on your skin’s tolerance, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturiser. Use sunscreen daily after the peel, as AHAs increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
