Product Details

Item Overview: Lactic Acid 5% + HA W3

It is supported with purified Tasmanian pepperberry extract, which is a known anti-irritant. This water-based serum is a practical choice for dry and sensitive skin. Lactic Acid 5% + HA is a mild alpha hydroxy acid solution that offers gentle yet effective exfoliation targeted at the skin’s surface.

Lactic Acid has a pKa of 3.8 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an optimal balance between salt and acidity, optimizing the delivery of the acid form to ensure it offers an effective exfoliation that can be used daily. This pH of this formula is approximately 3.8.

How to Use
  • Use as directed for the specific formula and patch test before first use.
  • Introduce new active products gradually if your routine is already ingredient-heavy.
Product & Safety Guidance
  • Patch testing prior to use is advised before adding a new formula to your routine.
  • Use only as directed on unbroken skin and reduce frequency if your skin feels stressed.
  • Pair daytime routines with daily SPF where appropriate, especially when using exfoliating or brightening actives.
  • If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician.
