I'm an experienced user of chemical exfoliants, so I had no problem with the higher percentage of this product (it also comes in 5%, which is good for beginners). Lactic Acid is a larger molecule than...Read more

I am no stranger to acid exfoliants. I have been using them for years, trying different formulations and products. Lactic acid seems to be the right choice for my skin, effective, but mild. You can't ...Read more

This is my go-to for a topical acid. I really researched and tried many, and found that LA works on my sensitive skin. AHA was just too intense and burning. I started with TO 5% and then moved to 10% ...Read more
