Lactic Acid Peel
Lactic acid is derived from yogurt, buttermilk, or sour cream and is much milder than other alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid. Lactic Acid is already in humans cells which makes it a safer hydroxy acid to use than alpha hydroxy’s such glycolic acid.
This is an advantage for first timer users or those with sensitive skin. Molecules in a Lactic acid peel are larger than other acids, so penetration is much slower which results in less irritation to the skin.
As with Glycolic Acid, a Lactic Acid Peel works by loosening the glue like substance that bind skin cells together.
It works on the epidermis layer of the skin only, so it is not a deep peel. However it does stimulate elastic fibers and promotes growth new collagen in the dermis layer of the skin.
Lactic Acid Peels can improve many skin
conditions including:
• Sun-damaged skin
• Hyperpigmentation
• Fine wrinkles
• Mild acne scars
• Age spots
• Actinic keratosis
• Brown Spots
Lactic Acid lotion
Normally a lighter weight formulation often used on the body.
Lactic Acid cream
Normally a richer thicker formulation designed for use on the face. Generally creams have a higher concentration of lactic acid than lotions.
Lactic
Acid 50% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Lactic 50% is specifically targeted at fading pigmentation, evening tone and resolviing hyperpigmentation problems. Treating pigmentation is a gradual process but you should start to notice improvements within the first 2-3 treatments.
Lactic acid 50% Gel Peel Ingredients:
Lactic Acid, deionized water, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, propylene glycol, propyl and methyl parahydroxybenzoa
How to use the lactic acid gel peel
1. Apply 2-3 ml Lactic/50 solution to a gauze pad and apply to the face using a gentle rubbing action. Keep the solution at least a quarter of an inch away from the eyes, lips and mucus membranes.
2. Leave Lactic Acid on initially for 30 - 60 seconds, building up to 1-3 minutes as tolerance increases (you may fan the skin during this time to alleviate discomfort). Contact time of peel should not exceed 10 minutes. If redness or stinging occurs, wash off immediately.
3. Remove all traces of peel with copious amounts of water. Pay special attention to areas around the eyebrows, behind the ears, and in the creases around the nose.
4. Pat dry with cotton or paper towel (do not rub the skin at this stage).
5. Apply a thin layer of non-comedonic moisturizer (see below).
6. The Lactic Peel is designed to be used every 5-7 days in conjunction with regular exfoliation and moisturization of the skin.

Exceeded my expectations, E Vallarino May 31, 2009.
I used this peel on my leg and had the first peel May 27. Although the company said this would be good for hyperpigmentation, I didn't know just how good ... until now. I did my second peel today and there's more improvement: The spots are fading more. I can't wait for my sixth peel,.
great results, A. Wilson October 22, 2009
i am an african american/native american woman with melasma and dark spots from different skin issues. I tried the fade creams and finally coughed up money for tri-luma. on it's own, it's ok, but with this lactic acid peel it is FANTASTIC. i have been using it for 3 weeks and my results are great. i would recommend this for people looking for a solution to their hyperpigmentation issues.
i think it gets rid of layers that are bad, October 13, 2009 Julie Kaous
