Lactobionic Acid<\/b> is an ingredient that you might have spotted cropping up within some skincare products, but what exactly is it and why would you consider incorporating it into your skincare routine?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Acid is primarily used for skin cleansing and exfoliating. There are two types of dietary acids in the beauty industry: <\/span>Alpha hydroxy acid (AHAs) and BHA.<\/b><\/a> Both groups release fluid binding to the surface and reveal a smoother surface when applied<\/strong>. Often thousands of these cells will disappear at once after being removed.<\/span><\/p>\n Depending upon how strong the acid is, the results of the peel can be very superficial (like a daily cleanser) to quite deep (think of dermabrasion). Chemical peels are categorized as superficial, medium, or deep.<\/span><\/p>\n To put it simply, Lactobionic acid is the oxidized form of lactose that is derived from milk. <\/span>Lactobionic acid is a <\/span>polyhydroxy acid<\/b> (also known as a PHA) and is an <\/span>exfoliator, but one that is a gentler alternative to <\/span>glycolic<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>salicylic acid<\/b><\/a>.<\/span> Because \u2018Lactobionic\u2019 is a larger molecule than glycolic acid, it will not penetrate the skin as well<\/strong>, therefore, it is considered less strong resulting in it being less irritating on the skin. It works by increasing cell turnover and makes a good option for those with sensitive skin or anyone who is prone to irritation sometimes caused by<\/strong><\/span> AHAs.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\nWhat are Acids?<\/h2>\n
