LACTIC ACID FOR HEALTHY AND SMOOTH SKIN
A natural active ingredient for gentle exfoliation and moisturizing of the skin.
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its gentle exfoliation and ability to lock in moisture in the skin. It helps remove dead skin cells and smooth the skin while strengthening the skin barrier.
The most important things in brief
- Gentle exfoliation : Lactic acid, also included in our sets , removes dead skin cells and promotes skin renewal, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant.
- Moisture retention : It binds moisture in the skin and contributes to long-lasting hydration, which is particularly beneficial for dry skin.
- Promotes the skin barrier : Lactic acid strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier and makes it more resistant to environmental influences.
What is lactic acid?
Lactic acid is a water-soluble alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk but also found naturally in the human body. It is used in skin care for its gentle exfoliating and moisturizing properties. Lactic acid is particularly suitable for sensitive skin as it is less irritating in body and intimate care than other AHAs such as glycolic acid.
Effects of lactic acid on the skin
Lactic acid, which is found in many of our skin care products such as 2in1 AHA Body Scrub , works in several ways to nourish the skin:
Exfoliation : Lactic acid removes dead skin cells from the skin's surface, stimulating cell renewal and promoting a smooth, radiant complexion.
Moisture retention : It helps the skin to retain moisture, which is especially important for dry skin. The moisturizing properties keep the skin supple and smooth.
Strengthening the skin barrier : Lactic acid helps the skin strengthen its natural protective barrier, which protects against moisture loss and makes the skin more resilient.
Reduces blemishes : It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots by smoothing the skin and improving texture.
Effects of lactic acid in the intimate area
Lactic acid is suitable for the care of the intimate area because it gently exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time. Due to its mild but effective action, lactic acid removes dead skin cells without irritating the sensitive skin in the intimate area. This helps to keep the skin smooth and supple.
In addition, lactic acid helps maintain the natural pH value of the skin in the intimate area, which contributes to a healthy skin climate and can prevent irritation. Its moisturizing properties prevent dryness and promote a hydrated, soft skin feeling while strengthening the skin barrier.

The correct use of lactic acid
If you want to incorporate lactic acid into your skin care routine, proceed with caution. You need to pay attention to the following points:
Evening use : Lactic acid products are best applied in the evening to support the skin during nightly regeneration.
Combine with moisturizer : Apply a moisturizing cream after using lactic acid to protect the skin from dryness and enhance its moisture-retaining properties.
Don't forget sunscreen : Since lactic acid can make the skin more sensitive to light, it is important to use a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day.
Introduce slowly : Start with a lower concentration and apply two to three times a week to allow the skin to become accustomed to the acid.
