L-lactic acid is a hydroxy acid (AHA) obtained from the fermentation of sugar by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus). As a humectant, it improves skin hydration. It also acts as a regulator of epidermal exfoliation. It is a natural compound because it is a metabolite of muscle tissue (formed during exercise) and skin. It has relatively small particles, which means that it penetrates well into the stratum corneum and acts a little deeper than acids with larger molecules. Lactic acid works best in the care of mature, combination skin with signs of photoaging, mature, oily skin with thick epidermis and in the care of dull and gray skin. Brightens the epidermis and discolorations, evens out the color, hydrates very well (at low acid concentrations), refreshes the skin, smoothes fine lines and strengthens,
