Reitzer R-Lactin Cream 125ml Jar
Description
R-Lactin Cream contains the active ingredient Lactic acid, at a concentration of 10% neutralised to a pH of between 4 and 4.5.
It removes dry, dead skin cells, which can smooth rough or scaly skin, reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and fine wrinkles, and allow other moisturizers to penetrate better. It is particularly helpful for conditions like xerosis, keratosis pilaris, and ichthyosis vulgaris and is generally suitable for sensitive skin.
The removal of dry, dead skin cells in the stratum corneum (skin’s uppermost layer) not only improves the appearance of skin, but can also help to increase the penetration of other skin care ingredients such as moisturisers.
While it cannot unclog pores because it is not oil soluble and therefore cannot penetrate the pore, it will ensure that dead skin cells are not blocking the pore opening. This allows sebum (oil) to flow more freely and can help to minimise breakouts.
Because it’s exfoliating action tends to be more gentle (yet still effective) than that of glycolic acid, lactic acid is an ideal choice for individuals with sensitive skin.
