What does it do?
This magical potion is suitable for all skin types, with special benefits for those with sensitive, dry, or mature skin. It works its magic by fading hyperpigmentation, smoothing rough textures, and brightening your skin tone. Plus, it speeds up cell turnover, unveiling a youthful radiance and a more vibrant complexion. It's your go-to solution for post-breakout marks and fading acne scarring. Moreover, it's a secret weapon against signs of sun damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, and rough textures. It's the key to achieving your best skin ever.
The science(y) bit:
-
Lactic acid speeds up cell turnover and is pH and pKA balanced, meaning maximised effectiveness with minimal irritation.
Clinical data for 12% Lactic Acid showed an increased epidermal and dermal firmness and thickness and clinical improvement in skin smoothness and in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.(i)
- Gluconolactone draws moisture to the skin, pulling it from both deeper skin layers and the environment helping reinforce the skin's resistance to chemical challenge and reducing the possibility of irritation. (ii)
The results bit: even skin tone, more hydrated smoothed texture, and visibly brighter skin.
