The Benefits Of Lactic Acid

A gentle giant in the skincare world, lactic acid is the mildest member of the alpha hydroxy acid family, but no less effective than its cousins, which include glycolic acid, mandelic acid, and citric acid. Naturally derived from dairy products, lactic acid's uses for skin dates back to the days of Cleopatra, when the Egyptian queen bathed in milk for smoother, softer, youthful-looking skin.
