Lactic acid peel is considered an extremely sensitive fruit acid peel due to its composition and action.The Matrixpeel™ Lactic 30% is an organic alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that breaks the adhesion between the cells of the epidermis and stimulates exfoliation.
Lactic acid does not penetrate the skin as deeply as other acids due to its larger molecular structure, so lactic acid is well tolerated and suitable for sensitive skin.
Lactic acid removes cornification from the upper layers of the skin, opens the pores very effectively and stimulates the formation of collagen and elastin fibers.
Lactic acid is also suitable for dry skin and is often used to treat stretch marks that are still red, but not white stretch marks that have already healed. Lactic acid brightens and moisturizes the skin.
