WHAT IS LACTIC ACID?
Lactic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) which are often used in cosmetics.
"Products containing AHAs are marketed for a variety of purposes," the FDA says.
"[Purposes] such as smoothing fine lines and surface wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone, unblocking and cleansing pores, and improving skin condition in general.
"Sometimes AHAs are used in cosmetics for other purposes, such as to adjust the pH (the degree of acidity or alkalinity)."
