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.

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.

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
