Lactic Acid 10% + HA

product review positives

Lactic acid is good for dry skin due to its humectant qualities - it has AMAZING skin hydrating properties. In this higher concentration, it can help tackle winkles and improve skin firmness โ€ขglycerin is a natural moisturiser that keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells healthy, protects against irritation and helps restore our skin barrier. Awesome at treating dry skin โ€ขsodium hyaluronate can hold onto water and provide long term moisturising benefits, good for dehydrated skin โ€ขtasmannia lanceolata fruit extract can relieved itching and burning by a great extent - this helps combat the usual irritation that is usually occurs with high percentage of exfoliating acids. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and has antimicrobial properties ๐๐ž๐ง๐ž๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐œ ๐€๐œ๐ข๐ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ% + ๐‡๐€: โ€ขstimulates cell and collagen renewal โ€ขimproves skin texture โ€ขimproves skinโ€™s natural moisture factor โ€ขhelp with signs of aging โ€ขeven out skin tone ๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž: This was one of my first form of AHAโ€™s on the skin. I used it once a week and within two months, I saw many benefits - my bumpy skin had started to smooth significantly, my acne scars had began to fade but most importantly, my dry skin LOVED THIS. After every use, my skin felt so hydrated and soft. Iโ€™m quite young so signs of aging was not a target for me, yet I did have an apparent smile line near my lips. It hasnโ€™t gone, but it is less visible. I also loved the use of hydrators in this serum as it just makes it perfect for dry and dehydrated skin. The smell of this product is quite minimal, and the colour is beautiful (a reminder that the colours not the same amongst all bathes as the fruit extract varies in colour through seasons). It absorbs really quickly, and only leaves a little bit of a sticky residue - this is bearable compared to many other products from the ordinary.
product review negatives
Though the fruit extract was designed to reduce irritation, it didnโ€™t have much effect for me. The first few weeks caused purging and breakouts which subsided shortly after. Sensitive skin types might want to be more careful as it can leave a stinging sensation at first. To be honest, I do think I shouldโ€™ve started with a low percentage (5%) lactic acid to begin my journey with AHAโ€™s. Apart from that being my only downside, I do love this product and recommend it to many. Make sure to wear SPF with this product, and a week after you stop using the product or all the benefits from the serum can be rendered less effective.
