How Lactic Acid Works In Cosmetic Formulations
Lactic Acid functions mainly as an exfoliating agent, moisturizing ingredient and pH adjuster in cosmetics. It helps break down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting gentle surface exfoliation and improving skin texture.
In moisturizing formulations, it can help improve skin hydration and reduce the appearance of dryness. As a pH adjuster, it helps keep formulations within a suitable acidity range, improving product stability and skin compatibility.
The actual effect and skin tolerance may vary depending on concentration, pH level, product type and usage instructions.
