FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS • 15% LACTIC ACID SERUM

Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know about our 15% Lactic Acid Exfoliating Serum, pH calibration, and routine integration.

How does Lactic Acid differ from Glycolic Acid?

Lactic Acid has a larger molecular size than Glycolic Acid and also has humectant properties that help support hydration while exfoliating. Both are effective AHAs, but they can feel different on the skin depending on concentration, formulation, and individual sensitivity.

Why is this serum calibrated at pH 3.2?

The formula’s acidic pH allows the Lactic Acid to exfoliate effectively while the hydrating and marine botanical ingredients help support skin comfort.

How often should I use this serum?

Start with 2–3 drops one to two evenings per week. If your skin tolerates it well, gradually increase frequency as needed. Avoid using it in the same routine as other strong exfoliating acids, and reduce use if you experience persistent dryness, stinging, or irritation.

Can I use this serum alongside Rose Hyaluronic Acid Balancing Toner?

Yes. After cleansing, apply Rose Hyaluronic Acid Balancing Toner and allow it to absorb. Once the skin feels dry, apply the 15% Lactic Acid Exfoliating Serum, followed by moisturizer. If your skin is sensitive to acids, introduce the combination gradually.

Do I need to wear sunscreen during the daytime while using this serum?

Yes. AHAs such as Lactic Acid can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning, limit unnecessary sun exposure, and follow the sun-sensitivity directions provided with the product.

How do Sea Kelp and Algae Extract support the skin during exfoliation?

Sea Kelp and Algae Extract provide skin-conditioning and hydrating support that complements the exfoliating action of Lactic Acid, helping freshly exfoliated skin feel soft, comfortable, and replenished.
