Lactic acid peels are a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel that is effective for exfoliating the skin, improving texture, and promoting a brighter, more even complexion. Lactic acid is derived from milk and is known for being a milder AHA, making it suitable for sensitive skin while still providing significant exfoliation benefits. The concentration of lactic acid in peels can vary, typically ranging from 15% to 40%.
 
Benefits of Lactic Acid Peel:

Brightens Skin Tone: Regular use of lactic acid peels can improve skin radiance and reduce dullness.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation: It can help to lighten dark spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Improves Skin Texture: Lactic acid peels can smooth rough skin texture, making the skin feel softer and more even.
Hydrating Properties: Lactic acid is also known for its hydrating properties, helping to maintain skin moisture levels.
Minimizes Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By promoting collagen production and cell turnover, lactic acid can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
