Lactic Acid Peels

Splotchy Skin? Even Out Your Skin Tone With DIY Home Lactic Acid Peel

A home lactic acid peel is the most gentle of all the peels currently available. It works the same as any other peel to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin tone, but is much less harsh, which makes it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin. Often, this type of peel is also used as a sort of “introductory” peel, for those using a peel for the first time.

Lactic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid that is derived from sour milk. Because it is a naturally occurring mild form of acid, it is much kinder to the skin, helping to remove toxins, germs and dead cells while it smooths and evens out the skin tone.
