CA$9.00

Out of stock

Unlock brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin with our professional-grade 85% Lactic Acid Solution. Lactic acid is a highly effective Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from fermentation, known for its ability to exfoliate, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin.

As a larger molecule compared to other acids like glycolic acid, 85% Lactic Acid offers a superior, more controlled exfoliation, making it ideal for targeting dullness, uneven texture, and fine lines without intense irritation. Due to its high concentration, this product is designed to be diluted for DIY serums, lotions, and masks, or used by professionals for chemical peels.

Key Properties:

  • High Purity & Concentration: 85% aqueous solution for maximum formulation flexibility.

  • Dual-Action Benefits: Exfoliates dead skin cells while acting as a natural humectant to lock in moisture.

  • Versatile Ingredient: Perfect for DIY skincare formulations, including peels, lotions, toners, and pH adjustment.

Key Benefits

  • Smoothes & Softens: Accelerates cell turnover, revealing a smoother, baby-soft texture.

  • Brightens & Evens Tone: Effectively reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage.

  • Boosts Hydration: Unlike other acids, Lactic Acid attracts water, enhancing hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.

  • Anti-Aging: Promotes collagen production and reduces fine lines, promoting a youthful, firm appearance.

  • Improves Hair Health: Known to strengthen hair fibers when used in scalp treatments.
