More information

This pH of this formula is approximately 3.8. Lactic Acid has a pKa of 3.8 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic

Directions and ingredients

Apply once per day, ideally in the PM.Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance.Avoid contact with eyes.If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.
