Product Description
Works on the Surface to Treat Tone, Texture and Pigmentation
Lactic works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin’s surface and restore the skin’s natural glow.
Lactic is a Naturally Occurring Element in Our Skin Already
Lactic acid helps to eliminate germs, toxins and dead cells from the skin’s surface, and also helps to maintain the skin’s pH level. Lactic acid occurs naturally in the skin and is a primary component of the skin’s natural moisturizing mechanism, making it ideal for individuals wishing to avoid over-drying and skin dehydration. In the deeper layers, beneath the skin’s surface, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm.
A Magnet for Moisture
Lactic acid’s unique ability to draw moisture toward the surface of the skin makes it ideal for individuals whose skin dries out easily. This treatment also effectively combats acne by killing germs and removing toxins on the surface of the skin and by breaking down the dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores. This leaves the skin with a wonderfully smooth and clear complexion. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.
Give New Life to Your Skin
This treatment is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin, as well as aging and sun-damaged skin. Lactic Acid’s unique ability to draw moisture toward the surface of the skin makes it ideal for individuals whose skin dries out easily. This treatment also effectively combats acne, leaving a wonderfully smooth and clear complexion. The Lactic 30ml and 100ml are ideal for full facial applications. For specific areas, or spot treatments, the Lactic 50 Roll-on would be best.

I HAVE A LIGHT CASE OF MELASMA AND UNEVEN SKIN TONE. THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS AND IS GENTLE. I USED THE 35% STRENGTH. IT’S NOT HARSH AT ALL. NOTICE DIFF. RIGHT AWAY.
A. Daniels (Los Angeles, CA) – :
Amazing product! This was the first chemical peel I ever used and the results were beyond amazing! I am very impressed and I will continue to use Skin Laboratory throughout my skincare journey! Oh yea, the shipping was really fast as well!

I just finished my first treatment with this and I found it too weak for my liking. I barely felt any tingling when it was on, and afterwards, while my skin felt a tiny bit smoother, it wasn’t the result I was looking for. This kind of peel could be good for those with sensitive skin, but I’m pretty average and it did nothing for me.
Will continue trying – :
Purchased the 35% Lactic acid. I have a very sensitive skin, with melasma unrelated to pregnancy and some old acne scars. Used glycolic acid 60%,before, from a different company, could never leave it more than seconds, even had blisters from it. Healed without scars. Also tried a combination of lactic acid+ glycolic+ kojic acids. Always had pealing from it for a couple of days after. Good results in terms of wrinkle reduction, but hyperpigmentation continued to appear in areas that were not pigmented before. Addicted to whitening cream. Tried peels by professionals, good results but too expensive. I am giving lactic acid a try, feels like it is what the doctor was using, did have some crusts on the tip of my nose, nothing serious. It is too early to see results. I am still using my spot corrector cream, therefore the results are combined. I see some improvement, blackheads exposed and completely dissolved. I was able to leave the acid for 6 minutes. I will probably use the combination of lactic + glycolic+kojic rarely. Right now I am trying to find out if the glycolic is the one that gives me hyperpigmentation. I use sun protection 100% when out in the sun, therefore the pigmentation is not from sun damage. There is potential for burning your skin with 35% too, if you leave it too much. Just be careful, everybody. I am using 35%, level one to see what it does for me, and maybe if I bring my skin to a uniform color, I will consider giving up the whitening skin. Will come back. Very fast delivery, ordered on Friday and delivered on Monday. wow, it was the fastest, and paid for ground shipping. I am giving it 4 stars because it’s just the beginning, too early for results, but SOME improvement.

I have been a skin therepist for many many years & i have used this as my client as well as personal peel…I LOOOVE IT!! Gentle yet aggressive! I am now looking for more products to add to my routine.
Hawaiian Goddess (Honolulu, Hawaii) – :
I’ve been using the Lactic Acid from skin labratory for a couple months now (also the Salicylic Acid 20%) . For a while things were great but then I started noticing that my face was looking older, and i’m only 20. I used it to try and get rid of some existing acne scars. I used it once a week, and since I’ve stopped my skin looks a lot healthier. Never left it on for more than 30 seconds, and I went through one bottle previously. The second batch may have just been bad I’m not sure, but it burned the hell out of my skin left it red and blotchy for hours. So for now i’ll be sticking to my regular face wash, toner, and moisturizing routine.
A. Rogers – :
This is a review for the 35% Lactic Acid peel. I have sensitive skin that is dry, but also acne prone. I have some hyperpigmentation from past blemishes and hormonal birth control and the beginning of fine lines around my mouth.
I have used this product twice, once a week for the past two weeks. I follow the acne.org method, but the night before and the day of the peel I give it a break so my skin doesn’t get too dry. Before I apply the peel I cleanse with Cetaphil and wait about a half hour until my skin is bone dry. The peel is in gel form, and application is easy with either a synthetic brush or cotton pad. I have experienced little discomfort while it was on my face, and then only at the sides of my nose. I left it on for 2 minutes the first time, and five minutes the second time. I experienced absolutely no frosting of any kind. I neutralize with a baking soda paste after rinsing with copious amounts of water, and follow with a thick layer of Vanicream, and once that is absorbed I put on a layer of Vanicream SPF 60, (great products if you have dry uber sensitive skin) I experienced minimal peeling on the sides of my nose about three days after doing the peel. I have had minimal purging, and while the hyperpigmentation is still there, my skin overall is more luminous. I also had the very beginning of fine lines along either side of my mouth and I’m happy to say that those are much diminished. In my opinion this is a wonderful mild peel.
I plan to get the stage 2 50% lactic acid peel after I am done with this, which will probably be a few months as even the smallest bottle is plenty for several peels. I encourage anyone looking into at home peels to read read read about them and use your head. This is strong medicine, and has the potential to seriously screw up your skin if you leave them on too long, you apply too often and don’t give your skin a chance to recover between peels, or you begin with a too high concentration. I understand wanting perfect skin right overnight, but whatever issues or damage you are dealing with didn’t happen overnight and I think it’s unreasonable to expect one’s problems to be solved instantly while still being gentle. It’s a slow process and that bites, but your skin will not improve by being rough with it. Be consistent, be careful, and be kind to yourself and your skin.

I bought both but for some reason, this works better on my skin. Using the glycolic wasn’t doing anything. Soon as I started using this I had deep peeling and a brightening of skin. Also my pores got smaller. Also, as soon as I put it on, it started stinging. None of this happened with the Glycolic 35%. I’m now only using the Lactic 35% once a week because it is so strong. I did the Glycolic twice a week.
sunshine – :
I am ever so pleased with this product. I am a licienced esthetician and have used all different peels . I applied the peel as directed and was happy with the tingle, and with the result! my skin is smooth, firm and luminous, not bad for 42> My next purchase will be the 50%

Angela C (San Diego, CA) – :
I read the instructions before I put on the product, I have been using it about 2 times a week and have noticed that my melasma has faded dramatically. I can walk out of my house without wearing makeup. I am so pleased I finally found something that worked for me!
Paula L. (AZ) – :
