Lactic acid
Lactic acid As you may have guessed from the name, lactic acid is derived from milk. One of the things that makes it such a popular skin care ingredient is that it exfoliates and hydrates at the same time. And, much like glycolic acid, it's gentle — and "great for those with sensitive skin issues." If acids are something you've always steered clear of, you may want to give this one a try, as Lorencin notes that it has "very minimal to no side effects." Get ready for a "glowing and radiant complexion!"
