Product Description
What is Lactic Acid?
Lactic Acid is a non-irritating rapid exfoliator. Lactic Acid is recommended for those that are new to peel and exfoliating agents in skin care products, as well as those that have used other exfoliators for a long period and want to improve results. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid derived from sour milk. It is ideal for sensitive skin or skin unable to tolerate glycolic acid. Lactic acid peel helps to eliminate germs, toxins and dead cells. It also helps to maintain the skin's pH factor. Lactic Acid occurs naturally in the skin and is a primary component of the skins natural moisturizing factor, and so less harsh and more moisturizing than Glycolic Acid skin peels.
How Does Lactic Acid work?
The use of Lactic Acid will help to stimulate and speed skin cell turnover on the surface of the skin, thereby producing more vibrant and smoother-looking skin. In the deeper layers of skin, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm. Benefits Also, if you are new to acid peels this may be the one for you. It also can be used for the following:
- Acne
- Acne Scars
- Blackheads/Whiteheads
- Dry Skin
- Sun-damaged Skin
- Blotchy Pigmentation
- Fine Wrinkles
- Loss of Elasticity
- arge Pores

Ingredients
Ingredients
Lactic Acid, deionized water, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, propylene glycol, propyl and methyl parahydroxybenzoate.
Lactic Acid
Lactic acid functions as a humectant to pull moisture toward the surface of the skin to prevent drying. Lactic acid also works to actively stimulate collagen growth in the dermis layer of the skin to improve skin thickness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Client Instructions
Peel Instructions
- Apply 2-3 ml Lactic/70 solution to a gauze pad and apply to the face using a gentle rubbing action. Keep the solution at least a quarter of an inch away from the eyes, lips and mucus membranes.
- Leave Glycolic Acid on initially for 30 seconds, building up to 1-2 minutes as tolerance increases (you may fan the skin during this time to alleviate discomfort). Contact time of peel should never exceed 5 minutes. If redness or stinging occurs, wash off immediately.
- Remove all traces of peel with copious amounts of water. Pay special attention to areas around the eyebrows, behind the ears, and in the creases around the nose.
- Pat dry with cotton or paper towel (do not rub the skin at this stage).
- Apply a thin layer of non-comedonic moisturizer (see below).
- The Lactic peel is designed to be used every 10-14 days in conjunction with regular exfoliation and moisturization of the skin.
FDA Guidelines for the use of Lactic acid are:
- Test any product that contains an AHA on a small area of skin before applying it to a large area. If you use cosmetics with AHAs and experience skin irritation or prolonged stinging, stop using the product and consult your physician.
- Follow the use instructions on the label. Do not exceed the recommended applications.
- Avoid using AHA-containing products on infants and children.
- Use sun protection if you use a AHA product.
Pre-Peel
- Avoid using self-tanners, masks, scrubs or exfoliating agents for at least 48 hours prior to the peel.
- Stop glycolic acid and Retin A/Renova products 48 hours before peel.
- Do not wax facial hair for 48 hours before peel.
- Notify us if you have a history of cold sores, fever blisters or herpes outbreak anywhere on the face prior to the application.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at lease a week prior to your peel.
Post-Peel
- Avoid exercise and sweating (sauna) for a few hours after the procedure.
- Avoid the use of abrasive or exfoliating sponges until face returns to normal condition.
- Apply a fragrance free moisturizer (Neutrogena facial lotion, or Cetaphil lotion) twice a day. Avoid products containing alpha-hydroxyacids until the skin returns to normal condition.
- Do not peel the skin, pick the skin, scrape or scratch the skin, expose the skin to sun or sun lamps, or use a mask on the skin until the skin returns to normal condition.
- If possible delay the use of make-up for 24 hours, if you must use very lightly.

AMAZING, REALLY CHANGED MY LIFE
Posted by Kyle J on 25th Jan 2010
I am a 29 year old male. I did a lot of modeling in my late teens and early 20's, spending hours and hours in tanning beds.
When I was 26, I stopped tanning and started to notice really uneven coloration, freckles and the acne that I left behind in my youth had returned. I looked pretty bad and much older than 26.
I have been using Lactic Acid 70 and Salicylic Acid 20 for a couple years and have changed completely. I look much better and feel much better. I have also saved a ton of money and gotten better results than I did from Blu Light Therapy and even the IPL treatment.
I totally recommend it. My skin isn't really sensitive, so the stronger peels are a good fit for me, but if you do have sensitive skin, I would start slow.
Also, be patient. It takes time. In my case it took months. Even though it has been a couple years, I still see improvement.
Changed my life. Do your research, give it a shot

Not sure
Posted by Unknown on 17th Nov 2009
I tried this product few days ago, I didn't feel any burning or tingling. I left it on for about 1 1/2 minutes.
I don't see any difference on my face at all, maybe I need to go through the whole 6 treatment before I see any results.
I also didn't get any sample with my purchase, so I feel a bit let down about the service I've gotten so far.

Quality surpassed high expectations!
Posted by Unknown on 12th Nov 2009
I bought this product a few days ago and it was shipped super fast! Not only is the product a really good value, but they also don't overcharge for shipping, which I really like. I got the Salicylic 20 and the Lactic 70.
Now for the products. Summed up, I love them! I was uncertain about how to use the products and had a few questions and when I called Skin Laboratory they were really helpful and explained the whole process to me.
It was really simple to put on, and my skin feels so soft! I have only used it once, and can feel that rough areas of my face are now baby soft and can't wait until my discoloration fades. I love, love, love it. It does tingle a bit when you put it on, nothing horrible.
If you're on the fence about buying this, don't be. Just buy it! Trust me, you won't regret it! And plus the people at Skin Laboratory are so helpful if you have questions!
I'll update again later once I've used it some more.

Trust the strenght that is recommended
Posted by Shannon on 9th Aug 2009
This is a great company to buy from. The products are as advertised. And trust them when they say what strength they are. Unless you are used to chemical peels, use what is recommended. I have been having them for years and my skin is used to it. I can use the stronger strength. But for the price and high, high quality, this is well worth the money. And I got a follow up call. great company

This works exactly as expected
Posted by Nancy on 26th May 2009
This works exactly as expected and is very helpful. I have bumps, small ones, that are developing here and there on my face. I had them burned off at the dermatologist's once, but it was awful looking for a week. Yuck! With this only a few treatments have made the bumps smaller and I am very pleased. I will continue using this.

really hydrates my skin
Posted by tyfx on 18th Apr 2009
My item arrived missing one bottle of the lactic acid; I contacted the seller--Skin Laboratory--and they quickly sent the other bottle; it was greatly appreciated... This product really hydrates my skin well: unlike most peels, it also seems to brighten the skin rather immediately (no waiting for days while the dead skin flakes off).

If you go to there web site & read the tags you can learn alot. Very impressive company!!! This is good to use as a break from stronger peels. ( no pain!!)

I tested the Lactic, I am very happy about it.
Posted by choungin on 1st Apr 2009
Thanks for the 5ml Salicylic/20 sample and the instruction. I tried it as a pre-peel one day before as recommended. Wow, I couldn't tolerate it 30 sec. I had to wash it off right away. It was my first try of any kind of peel. After that I was a little concerned about trying the lactic peel. When I tested the lactic peel, it seemed ok so I treated my face with it and I am very happy about it

Wonderful product
Posted by Decorating Queen on 30th Mar 2009
I ordered this, plus a bottle of 35% glycolic acid peel solution. I started with the salicylic acid that accompanied my order, leaving it on for 4 minutes before then putting on the lactic acid solution. The lactic acid is gentle enough not to irritate or feel too tingly, but strong enough to really exfolliate and leave the skin feeling tighter and extremely smooth. I used the lactic acid once a week for 3 weeks, then did the glycolic for 3 weeks. Both are extremely effective. Crows feet are diminishing, acne has disappeared, skin is smooth and glowing. I love this stuff. You won't see the skin peel, as these solutions aren't like a tca peel, but used regularly, they do reveal new, pink, glowing skin, they do remove impurities, they do tighten the skin and help produce new collagen. I'm a big fan of Skin Laboratory - excellent service,and excellent quality.

Laser left scars, and 3 peels has worked great.

Scary product, peeled my skin off, caused serious burn, buyer beware
Posted by S. Thampi on 11th Mar 2009
The item was shipped very fast. I read the instructions and applied the peel as stated. This was my first peel, so I was extra careful. The first sample peel went fine. When I applied the lactic peel, it literally peeled my skin off. I was fortunate to apply to a small area. Lost 2 inches of my skin. I am brown in color. So area that got burnt is pale white and the rest of my skin in brown. Scary..I sent emails to these guys, got an auto response with no followup. If I were to use this product, would ensure its over a long holiday, so any burns, peels, hideous injuries, can heal itself without all the glare from people...The pain is unbearable even after you flush with water for ever...I would recommend, first time applicants to go to a salon and have it done and slowly work your way towards doing it yourself. This product has very high concentration of acid and show not be taken lightly.

Real Value. Lactic Acid 70% peel is a fantastic product. You can skip all your acid creams and just use this once a week for real results. I love the skin tightening effect and my fine lines and brown spots have been lessened. I am on my third bottle.

Wonderful instructions! Will definitely buy again. I've been using the lactic acid for 3 weeks now. It's working gradually and I'm pleased with the results. I have problems with hyperpigmentation from acne scars. Each week I notice that the dark marks are getting much lighter.

Not a one Size Fits all

Fabulous product!
Posted by honest to a fault on 10th Feb 2009
I ordered this product after doing tremendous research. The first time I used it, I didn't 'feel' much going on, but my skin did peel a bit during the first week. The second time I used it, my skin tingled quite a bit and turned reddish, and my skin broke out. I think it was the impurities coming to the surface. The next couple of weeks I used the product weekly and continued to break out a bit. Now my skin is clear and my complexion is unbelievable! I was a bit skeptical when I began using the product, but I persisted, remembering that when I would have facials (professional) I was told I'd break out first and then clear up.
I would highly recommend this product. I tend(ed) to break out on a continual basis, worsening during my menstrual cycles, including cystic acne. I rarely form blackheads at all now that I use this product regularly, which means nothing blocking/clogging my pores. In fact, although pores do not actually shrink, my formerly large-appearing pores are less pronounced and look smaller to me.

Skin Lab is a wonderful company!
Posted by C. Wilson on 29th Jan 2009
I just want to cosign what others have said about the company being great. They are! My order was shipped fast and efficiently. I haven't used the product yet (I'm waiting to get a facial at a spa first so my pores will be good and clean lol) but I have used 30% glycolic from June Jacobs. I was working at a spa at the time and received it as gratis during training. June Jacobs doesn't sell 30% glycolic to non professionals. It is a serious product you skin can literally melt off if misused. It works miracles but you have to know what you are doing and follow the directions. Don't leave it on too long it is acid. Great stuff though and superb company.

Good but...
Posted by O. Locicero on 24th Jan 2009
I have dark skin with hyperpigmentation. This did nothing for my skin as far as making the pigmentation any better...No difference at ALL.
It is good however for making the skin feel smooth and supple and it unclogs the pores. When I find something that actually does get rid of the hyperpigmentation I will use this to maintain the results but until then I need something strong...even at 70% it is EXTREMELY mild.

Very very impressed!
Posted by Arlene Basques on 23rd Jan 2009
Very very impressed with this seller. Products work very well and I was particularly impressed with the packaging and the instructions. Probably my only disappointment was that I read that others who purchased products from them received free samples of other items. I did not. Will definitely use again!!!

Great So Far
Posted by Tramaine "Tramaine Hillard" on 16th Jan 2009
So.... I received my Lactic Acid 70% and sample of Salycilic Acid fairly quickly even though Im serving in Iraq right now. The seller sent quite a few pamplets with direct instructions inside for each product which was great being that this was my 1st time using the peel. Me being anxious and all I did the Salycilic Acid which stayed on not even 2 minutes lol n about 4 hours later I did my Lactic 70% peel. I think the Salycilic acid burned the worse. After doing the peels I immediatly noticed softer skin, and of course redness. Im Caramel complexed, and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this product (LACTIC) for anyone lighter than me I WAS RED!! Only for about 20 minutes though. Anywho, I havent been drying up in the past 2 days since Ive done the peel due to the fact that I use St Ive's Moisturizing Cream (gentle), so now Im just waiting on the peeling whoooppeee right lol. Anyway as for the beginning stages this is a very good peel and for right now my skin is radiant even my battle buddies notice it. I will be sure to keep everybody posted throughout my process.

Eh...
Posted by Stephanie S. Perkins "stephanie p" on 15th Jan 2009
Decided to try this because I heard that Lactic Acid was supposed to be good for women of color.
My thoughts on this product: Eh....
It's ok...works alright.
I was surprised that it didn't do a whole lot. I figured "What with this being 70%..."
>>shrug<<
I know that it's weaker than Glycolic but I expected something better. With glycolic the results are immediate for me, i.e, smooth texture, radiant appearance, improved clarity, gets rid of acne, etc...
But then again--I don't know the pH of this Lactic solution so I figure maybe it was kind of weak (i'm guessing).
I can see how it may work for others and for that reason I gave it 3 stars. Maybe ppl with sensitive skin, or first-time users, etc... could get some use out of it.
Personally I prefer Glycolic Acid. Although I have been using a glycolic/lactic 35% combo (ph of 2.1) that came along with my kit (and found that to be quite effective), I may just go back to full Glycolic.
In any case, I have dry skin but I must exfoliate DAILY with a scrub (or I will break out) so I figure maybe this is the reason why the Lactic didn't meet my expectations. I used to have my peels professionally done and my aesthetician used (glycolic) 40%-45%. I am 28 years old, btw and no I am a sporadic peeler so I haven't built up a resistance or anything like that.
UPDATE (24 jan):
This is pretty good. I received this in December and I wasn't impressed with it at first. But--I ran out of my salicylic and decided to try this again instead of the glycolic/lactic combo.
I figured, "Well--I bought it...might as well try to use it."
I wouldn't put this over glycolic but it did work very well.

LOVE IT...so far lol
Posted by L. Rodriguez "LaMi25" on 29th Dec 2008
I noticed a slight alteration in the color of my acne scars....yes..after one treatment. Seems to keep pimples more in check as well. I have fewer break outs. I can't wait to use this peel again...oh and it's gel based....i used some sample ones from another company..and they were more watery...this one feels thicker--which i like. It does sting..but i have a high tolerance for "pain"...i left my 1st peel on for 6 min. They said you shouldn't leave it on for 10...which i'll probably shoot for next time...I did not peel what-so-ever. They told me...they make it that way...if you do peel...it wont be dramatic. But i did have a few rough patches on my skin..but the dead skin came off when i exfoliated. I'll keep buying it.....and im optimistic for what my face can be in 6 weeks! The company is a good one..and they sent me feedback to let me know if i needed more help with the process...i could let them know and tell me what to do. Good customer service! ;)

It works alright!
Posted by Brooke E. Barcia on 21st Nov 2008
This product definitely works, a little too well. I do suggest purchasing this product, however, I'd like to give a little warning to anyone who's interested. The company was nice enough to send a trial size version of their salicylic acid product along with this peel. They suggest using it a few days before doing the lactic acid peel, so that the l. peel works better. Well, my experience was not pretty...I did the s. peel about 4 days before the l. peel. I loved the outcome I got from the s. peel but once I did the l. peel I looked like I had burned my face off for about 3 days. I couldn't laugh, smile, make any facial expression whatsoever without pain. I'm not sure why I had such drastic results b/c according to the instructions that's exactly how they suggest using it. I only left the l. peel on for about 25 secs. This stuff is really strong so I would advise you not to use the s. peel first. Do one or the other and see how you react to it first. Then wait a lengthier amount of time in between both (definitely more than a week). All in all I was pleased with the results- it does do what it says it will but you have to be careful and check your skin sensitivity first. I hope this helps you avoid a few days worth of hiding in your house so no one sees the red, peeling remnants of your face ;)

I've only used the product twice since receiving it, but I'm quite experienced with chemical peels. So far, I've felt encouraged to continue use. I was especially pleased to find a sizable free sample of Salicylic Acid peel with my order. I will definitely do more business with seller! I liked the speed in which I received order. I received it a day after making order.

great success
Posted by tyf "fitness buff" on 24th Oct 2008
I've been purchasing and using this product for several months now, and with great succuss: I offered communication to Skin Laboratory regarding
the pre/post preparation for optimalizing the benefits of this peel
product... The skin should be cleaned prior to applying the peel
(with nitrile or vinyl gloved hands) with DISTILLED water, and
it should be removed with DISTILLED or highly purified water
only (not just water straight out of the tap).
Skin Laboratory has no way of qualifying the immediate tap water supply
for any of the possible numbers (at different geographical locations)
of persons who might purchase this item: here at San Diego, the tap
water is suffering hard mineral elements of calcium, magnesium and
now 'flouride'... Whatever is traveling along with the water at
various locals could drastically reduce the results of the
lactic acid peel, or could cause an unhealthy or counter-
productive chemical mess on the surface of the epidermal.
It's not hard to heat some distilled water to pour into
a plastic bucket for setting into the shower area
moments before starting the peel application;
cold distilled water can also be set at
the removal area...
(I use the shower stall with the tap turned off: I repeatedly dip a steril cotton washcloth into the warmed distilled water for washing,
then dump the cold over my head and all, "surfer" style for a
thorough post application rinse.)

Responsible seller
Posted by cat girl "cats galore" on 21st Oct 2008
I bought this product with some trepidation as I heard of chemical peels gone bad on different television shows. I have only used the lactic acid one time on my arms and have notice one scaly lesion starting to peel. I happened to not have any ill effects even though I left it on my arms for 3 hours. This may be due to the thickness of my skin layers on my arms.
One thing is that the seller of this product is more responsible than some of the other vendors. He included extensive directions on the use of the lactic acid unlike another vendor I had bought from.

Wow! Professional Results Cheaply
Posted by Emily on 8th Sep 2008
Disclaimer: You do need to be careful with this stuff, it's potent. That being said, it gives amazing results. I really like that it's more viscous than more peels; it's much safer and easier to handle. I was definitely pleased when a sample bottle of the 20% Salicylic Acid Peel was included (nice touch). After some experimenting though, I realized that for me the best combination was to use an over-the-counter microdermabrasion scrub beforehand, and then apply the peel with a fan brush from the craft store. The result was a remarkable erasure of the hyper pigmentation on my cheeks from acne scarring. Just be careful not to get too overzealous with the scrubbing!

Posted by Dauna Rattray on 29th Jun 2008
My product ship to me faster then I thought. With it came step by step instructions on every little part of the package so I never forget how to use it. Also it made my skin really soft after I have used it, it really works.

came quickly in mail
Posted by smiles "smiles" on 28th Jun 2008
This was the first peel I bought. It came VERY fast. I have since ordered three other products from them and they all came quickly. My skin has responded well to this. I see a difference two days after. It saves me about 150 dollars a regular peel cost.

Ahhhh a very nice peel product
Posted by Kristal Freshwater on 27th Jun 2008
After spending a lot of money at a salon for peels for my very dry and sun damaged skin, I decided to try doing them at home. I had the stronger one done in the salon but chose to try this one at home. Its very effective and easy to use. Not at all uncomfortable and I love the way my skin looks and feels. If you choose to do your own peels be sure to add the PH balancer and a good moisture to your session. I intend to keep using this at home and saving hundreds of dollars. It's something anyone can do with ease. I like to call the time I spend on my skin,"Me Time." I've earned it. Although, it's nice to lay back and have someone else do it and feel very special, but if you would rather stay at home and only go occasionally to a salon, this is the peel for you. Skin Labortories has very good products and I'm anxious to try even more of them. I'm 71 and my skin looks and feels great.

This company is amazing! I ordered my product on a late Saturday night and got it Wed afternoon. They included very helpful information cards, and a bonus 20% Salicylic Acid Peel. I will continue to buy only from them.

This does the trick!
Posted by Ashari "Ashari" on 6th May 2008
This item is excellent for persons of African descent. I have tried the salicylic acid (20%), glycolic acid (35%) and finally the lactic acid (70%) and my skin has improved dramatically! I especially liked that the company included a complimentary small bottle of salicylic acid and recommended using it as a pre-peel a day before using the lactic acid. I did as recommended, and left the lactic on for exactly one minute as it was my first time using it. I have also been moisturizing at night with Vaseline petroleum jelly because of the dryness I experienced. Well, in three days, I noticed peeling, with my old skin being removed when I used my toner after washing. The result? Smooth textured clear radiant skin! I can't wait to complete the process, because if this is what I achieve after just one treatment, my skin should be flawless by the time I'm done!! Needless to say I'm very optimistic and very, very pleased.

Great Peel
Posted by Houks on 3rd May 2008
This is a very good peel. Because of the gel formula easier to use than other peels that are more liquid. I am a skin care therapist and can recommend this product for everyone. But highly recommend to read the instructions before applying the peel.

Great product at a great price
Posted by Nina "Entrepreneur" on 25th Apr 2008
I'm fortunate to have found this seller. The product works as well as a professional peel. I use it once every two weeks to exfoliate and keep my skin even. It's better than glycolic acid for dark skin. Will be back for more products.

Will come back for more

Gentle and effective
Posted by Deborah P. Henkin "attycats" on 8th Feb 2008
I was afraid that this product would burn, especially when i got distracted by my destructive cat and left it on longer than specified.
No problem. not only did it not burn, but my skin looked subtly better after the first use, but after 3 uses, scar tissue was gone and people started asking what I did. Excellent product!

immediate results
Posted by Deborah Henkin on 31st Jan 2008
I've been using the 50% all over my face, and the 70% o rred areas. I was pleasantly surprised. No pain, no scars, immediate results.

Didn't know what to expect
Posted by lazy_miser on 20th Jan 2008
I'm a junkie for face products, always on the search for something to renew troubled skin. I bought this at the same time I purchased the 30% glycolic product from the same company. The lactic 70% does what it should, I suppose, but despite not having sensitive skin (in the least), I tend to peel much longer with this one and don't experience the same "glow" I get from the glycolic. I probably should have gone with a lower strength, but will likely just stick to the glycolic instead. The company that makes both these products (Skin Laboratories) is a fine company though. Product was delivered on time and as expected.

Pretty Good
Posted by A. Davis on 29th Nov 2007
It seemed to do the trick. I did feel alittle stinging after about 45 seconds, but it didn't bother me. I counted to 180 and rinsed non stop for 60 seconds to be sure I got everything.
I did not have a toning cleanser (which is required) but I used alcohol instead. My face felt smooth afterwards.
I didn't notice a big difference, but other people did.
Just be sure to apply moister after (petroleum jelly, shea butter, vit E Oil, or Retinol Cream a.k.a. Vit A) These are the 4 best oils/creams to put on fresh clean and new skin cells. They help the process of the mini peel and they do not badly clog up the pores.
