Lactic Acid Applications (Uses & Benefits)

Acne Treatment
Lactic acid helps treat acne by exfoliating the skin, preventing clogged pores, and reducing the appearance of acne scars.
Chemical Peels
Lactic acid is often added to professional and at-home chemical peels to help exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.
Cleansers
In facial and body cleansers, lactic acid is used for its mild exfoliating properties, which helps remove impurities and dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing.
Deodorants
It can be used in deodorants for its mild antibacterial properties, helping with body odor reduction.
Hair Care
In hair conditioners, lactic acid is used to help smooth and soften the hair, making it more manageable. It also helps maintain the optimal pH level of hair care products, ensuring they’re not too acidic or alkaline, which can lead to damaged hair.
Skin Care
Lactic acid acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated and soft. It also stimulates collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also improving skin elasticity.
