This product is a chemical exfoliant designed to improve skin texture and tone.
It contains 10% lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk, known for its gentle exfoliating properties.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is included to provide hydration and minimize irritation associated with exfoliation.
Benefits:
-Exfoliation: Helps remove dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover for smoother skin.
-Brightening: Can improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots or hyperpigmentation.
-Hydration: The inclusion of hyaluronic acid helps maintain moisture levels in the skin, preventing dryness.
-Gentle on Skin: Suitable for sensitive skin types compared to stronger acids due to its formulation.

-Sun Sensitivity: AHAs can increase sun sensitivity; it is recommended to use sunscreen during the day when using this product.

Side Effects:
-Irritation: Possible mild redness, stinging, or burning sensation upon initial use, especially for sensitive skin types.
