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 been going to Pure and Simple for years for my facials and I love their product line! A great exfoliant that is gentle but effective at keeping my skin smooth and decongested
- Product gifted by Pure and Simple.
I've been using the Pure + Simple Lactic Acid Plus serum in my nighttime routine twice a week, and I'm honestly impressed. It's a 10% lactic acid exfoliant, but it feels so gentle on my skin, no stripping, no irritation, just a slight tingle at first. The aloe vera base keeps my skin feeling hydrated and calm.
My skin feels softer and smoother, and it looks brighter and more even. My pores look clearer too. I love that it's a simple, clean formula, vegan, nut free and gluten free.
If you want a gentle but effective exfoliant that gives you that glow without harshness, this one is worth trying. Just remember to use it in the evening and wear SPF the next day!

I've been incorporating Lactic Acid Plus into my nighttime skincare routine, and I'm really enjoying how simple and easy it is to use!
One thing I especially love is the minimal ingredient list. I appreciate skincare that keeps things simple while still being effective.
I also love that it's designed to gently exfoliate without leaving skin feeling dry or stripped. As someone who wants softer, smoother, and more radiant-looking skin without a complicated routine, this is exactly the kind of product I gravitate toward. Highly recommend especially for busy moms!

I’ve been enjoying adding this to my nighttime skincare routine, especially with my skin feeling extra dry and dull during the colder months. It feels lightweight, non-sticky, and comfortable on my skin without leaving any heavy or greasy residue. I love that it combines exfoliation with hydrating ingredients, leaving my skin feeling soft and refreshed. A lovely addition to my skincare routine!

I love how gentle this exfoliant feels on my skin while still being effective. It leaves my face feeling smoother, softer, and refreshed without that overly dry or tight feeling. I also like that it contains aloe vera to help keep the skin hydrated. It’s a nice addition to my nighttime skincare routine, especially for improving skin texture and dullness. A little goes a long way, and I’m excited to see the results with continued use. Definitely worth trying!
