CERTIFIED Lactic Acid Peel 90%

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.
