Because it is gentler than many stronger AHAs, it’s often chosen for sensitive or dry skin formulations where resurfacing and moisture are both desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExfoliates surface layers for smoother texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttracts and helps retain moisture in the skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFiner, gentler action than some stronger acids at comparable concentrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMixes easily into creams, masks, serums, and peels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I formulate a simple DIY lactic acid peel or serum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure ingredients precisely and mix into a stable aqueous base; adjust concentration and pH for comfort and effectiveness.
