Lactic Acid 80

Product description

Lactic Acid 80% Standard. It is a liquid solution in water of about 80% purity.

5 – 20% Lactic Acid would be a good place to start, as this is milder while still having excellent skin peel affects.

Uses: Treating dry, rough & scaly skin. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Warnings: Dilute before use. As with all of the acids, it is important to let your skin acclimate to their use. For those whose skin is not used to the acids a slight stinging and redness may result. If this occurs, reduce usage. If irritation persists, discontinue use. This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

Lactic Acid is a strong Alpha-Hydroxy Acid and hence will have excellent exfoliant properties, although these are weaker than, but second only to, Glycolic Acid. AHA products should be a stand alone treatment product and not included in another product. While AHA can be included in other products there are certain incompatibilities that may arise plus AHAs (because of the pH required for best effectiveness) may not allow other products (such as cleansing masks) to work properly, and vice versa.

AHA products should have a pH of 3.5 to 4.5 for best effectiveness (Note at pH 7 AHAs are totally ineffective); while masks have a pH dependant on the function (cleansing masks with a pH of 7 to 8; moisturizing masks with a pH of 5 to 6 and some treatment masks with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5). Hence these may have incompatible pH.

Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you may experience a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your regimen. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test below based on the type of product.

• Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
• Keep the area dry.
• If the product has a specified duration of use, rinse off after this time has elapsed. Otherwise rinse off after 24 hours.

If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product/ consult with physician.
