Details
This non-abrasive exfoliant uses a 10% food-grade Lactic Acid and a natural base of algin and aloe vera to effectively dissolve dead skin cells, reduce blemishes, fine lines, and unclog pores, while maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.
Ideal for flaky, dull, and oily skin types.
Key Ingredients:
- Lactic Acid: The most gentle type of AHA, lactic acid reduces the incidence of comedones by deep cleaning pores and rejuvenating skin. Reduces the appearance of facial lines by stimulating Collagen production, without dehydrating or over-sensitizing the skin.
- Algae + Aloe Vera base: Helps to hydrate skin + reduce sensitivity.

Directions
- Evenly spread (don't rub) 2-3 pumps over clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
- Leave on between 10-15 minutes to exfoliate and brighten.
- Use 1x-2x per week in the evening.
Removal:
- Option 1. Remove by rinsing with cool water and follow with your regular evening skincare routine.
- Option 2. After 10-15 minutes, apply moisturizer and/or oil over the Lactic Acid and leave on overnight.
- Note: The acid will be mostly neutralized by the oil/moisturizer, but this application does provide a deeper exfoliation and may not be suitable for highly sensitive skin.

Tips
- Some tingling may be felt upon application but if skin starts to burn, remove immediately with cool water.
- Avoid applying to freshly shaved skin or 'open' skin of any kind.
- For thick or very congested skin, switch between using a manual scrub and Lactic Acid.
- Can be used more frequently as a spot treatment.
- Always follow with an SPF the next day.
- Used to treat flakiness, blemishes, blackheads and ingrown hairs.
Precautions:
Use only as directed. Avoid contact with the eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. It is recommended that prior to exposure to the sun, users cover areas where AHAs have been applied with sunscreen. Contact of the product with the skin must be of limited frequency or duration.
Customer Reviews
I've just started using this as my first at-home peel, so this is a first-impressions review. It's 10% lactic acid in a soothing aloe and algae base — you apply it in the evening, leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off.
What I like so far: it's a real exfoliant percentage without feeling harsh, and the hydrating base means my skin didn't feel stripped after rinsing. The pump bottle makes it easy to use.
Too early to judge long-term results on pores or fine lines — I'll update after a few more uses. Two must-dos: patch test first, and don't skip SPF after (it's an AHA).
If your skin is dull or congested and you want to try exfoliation without jumping straight to strong acids, this is worth a look. 🇨🇦

I had a great first impression of Lactic Acid Plus because of its lightweight texture and gentle exfoliation. It’s so lightweight that it almost feels like water! I love this because I have combination skin and constant acne breakouts so I hate using products that make my breakouts more noticeable or leave my skin feeling sticky.
It’s a non-abrasive exfoliant that helps with decongestion and skin rejuvenation. I can already feel that my skin is softer and I’m excited to see it get brighter over time. I’m using it twice a week as recommended, and so far, I haven’t experienced any side effects. It’s officially part of my nighttime skincare routine!

Lactic Acid Plus is an interesting addition to my skincare routine. It contains 10% lactic acid to help exfoliate dead skin cells and improve the appearance of dullness and uneven texture. I also like that the formula includes aloe vera and algin for a hydrating touch. I appreciate that it’s designed for nighttime use, and I would recommend starting slowly with twice-weekly use before increasing frequency as tolerated. Overall, it’s a nice option for anyone looking to add a chemical exfoliant to their skincare routine.
