Looking for a high-strength lactic acid superficial peeling formulation? Look no further! The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% is exactly what you need. Lactic Acid, an alpha hydroxyl acid, works to exfoliate the skin gently. This 10% formulation offers mild exfoliation and is enhanced with purified Tasmanian pepperberry, known for reducing signs of inflammation and sensitivity often linked to exfoliation.
Ever heard of a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative that helps reduce irritation associated with acid use? This formula contains just that! The derivative is plant-derived and may vary in color seasonally, which adds a quirky touch to the formula.
The pH of this formula is approximately 3.8. Why is this important, you ask? Well, Lactic Acid has a pKa of 3.8, which is crucial when formulating with acids. The pKa of an acid indicates its availability. In this formulation, the close match between pKa and pH ensures an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the acid's effectiveness while reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers would increase salt content, making the formula more irritating. Fun fact: this formula is alcohol-free, nut-free, and vegan!
While Lactic Acid can deliver quick visible benefits, we recommend indirect forms of skin exfoliation over direct forms like this formula. This precaution is due to the potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids. Remember, Lactic Acid is not suitable for sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Be sure to check the provided Directions for additional sun protection tips and other warnings.
