Description

The Lactic Acid Exfoliating Serum by Unnamed Cosmetics is a grain-free chemical exfoliant for the face with lactic acid (an AHA), hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate), glycerin and organic white tea and sage extracts.

Lactic acid is an AHA with a larger molecule than glycolic acid, which is why it's often chosen for a gradual introduction to acids. Like any chemical exfoliant, introduce it slowly and use it with daily sunscreen.

Suitable for: dull skin, uneven texture, anyone starting out with acids.

Beauty without labels.

Key Ingredients

Lactic Acid — AHA that loosens dead cells on the skin's surface.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — humectant that helps hold water at the skin's surface.
Glycerin — humectant.
Organic White Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract) — plant extract with antioxidants.
Organic Sage Extract (Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract) — plant extract.
Potassium Hydroxide — adjusts the formula's pH.

How to Use

Evenings only, on clean, dry skin.
To start: 1 to 2 times a week. If your skin stays comfortable, increase gradually, up to 3 times a week.
Apply 3 to 4 drops, avoiding the eye area and lips. Do not rinse.
Follow with moisturiser.
Always wear sunscreen in the morning: AHAs increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun.

Moisturiser: Fragrance-Free Moisturiser.

FAQ

Can I use it every day?

It's not recommended. Start with 1 to 2 times a week and only increase if your skin stays comfortable.

Is tingling normal?

A slight, brief tingle can happen. Persistent stinging, redness or flaking are signs to space out applications or stop.

Can I combine it with retinol?

Not on the same night. Alternate: retinol one night, acid another.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

With sensitive skin, start once a week and patch test on a small area first. Don't use on irritated or broken skin.

Can I use it during pregnancy?

Always check with a healthcare professional before introducing acids at that time.
