CERTIFIED Lactic Acid Peel 30%

This lactic peel is buffered. Buffering raises the pH level of the acid so that it does not work too quickly. A higher pH level will slow-down the action of the acid, and is thus safer for an at-home peel. This 30% lactic peel is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer or first-time peeler.

Lactic is a great choice for those dealing with aging and pigmented skin – think liver spots and freckling. Lactic Acid will exfoliate the outer surface of the skin and encourage new cell turnover. It is a natural humectant, pulling moisture from the collagen levels to the surface of the skin.

We have Cleopatra to thank for this peel. When milk turns sour, the lactose is converted by bacteria into lactic acid. When Cleopatra chose to bathe in sour donkey milk, the lactic acid was able to help exfoliate her skin and keep it smooth and beautifully clear. Milk wasn’t the only acid used by the Egyptians, though it was the most popular. Tartaric acid was another favorite. It comes from old wine.

Chemical peels are great for use as:

Anti-aging treatments
Minimizing hyperpigmentation/spotting
Scar treatments
Refreshing of the skin.

If you are searching for these general types of skin improvements, then lactic acid is the choice for you. Lactic is great for:

Photoaging (fine lines, not coarse wrinkles).
Mild-medium sun damage.
Looking for deeper hydration
Gentle exfoliation – little to no visible flaking.

If you are on the sensitive side, you will really enjoy lactic acid. It has a very large molecule that will make the peel experience more pleasant. This treatment is relatively non-irritating with very little, if any, downtime. Our Lactic acid peel has been enhanced with a “skin lightening” and ” anti-aging” cocktail of herbal remedies. Contraindications: Milk Allergies. If you are ready to move to a stronger acid, our TCA 13 is another excellent choice for pigmentation and antiaging with more peeling.
