Common conclusions

Lactic acid is specifically used to treat hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other factors that contribute to a dull and uneven complexion. In general, lower-strength lactic acids should be used on a regular basis, whereas higher-strength lactic acids can be used no more than twice or three times per week if accepted. If your skin gets too irritated, red, or dry, you can take a break for a few days to allow it to heal.

You should avoid pairing your lactic acid product with another product that contains AHAs, BHAs, or retinol at the same time of application to avoid excessive dryness.

In fact, lower-strength lactic acids should be used on a regular basis, whereas higher-strength lactic acids can be used no more than two or three times per week, if tolerated. You should take a rest for a few days if your skin is becoming too irritated, swollen, or dry. The exfoliating effect of AHAs can make your skin more sensitive to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, so slather on a broad-spectrum formula with at least an SPF of 30.

Lactic acid, when used on a daily basis, can help to reduce the symptoms of aging. It can help firm your skin by inducing collagen renewal. If your skin is getting too irritated, red, and dry, it is important to take a break for a few days to allow your skin to recover.

You should know that weaker strength lactic acids can be used daily, while higher strength lactic acids should be limited to two or three times per week as tolerated.
