I love putting acids on my skin – my skin is very oily and has been acne-prone, so a good acid can help lighten old scarring and just makes my skin so much smoother. If you’re wondering why you should get this exfoliating acid over glycolic acid, know that Lactic Acid is meant to be more moisturizing than glycolic acid which makes it perfect for people with dry skin.
I like a serum that can cut down on the amount of oil my skin is producing, so this isn’t my go-to all the time, but I do like it for when I want smoother skin. It just makes your skin so much less bumpy especially when you use it everyday.
This is 10% lactic acid, so it’s pretty potent. That’s perfect, because you want this ingredient to be at a concentration that works. It’s a serum, but it’s so watery that you might use it like you would use a toner – put it on a cotton pad and then wipe it all over your face. It really works well when you do that.
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart. $12.99.
