Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid is the overachiever of the exfoliating world. Strong enough to smooth your skin, controlled enough not to wreck your barrier. It shows up, does the job, and leaves everything looking better than before.

What Is Lactic Acid and Why It Matters for Men’s Skincare

Lactic Acid has been part of skincare longer than most people realise. It was first identified in 1780 in sour milk, which explains why ancient bathing rituals involved milk — they weren’t just flexing, they were unknowingly exfoliating. Today, it’s made synthetically for purity, consistency, and sustainability. No dairy farms required.

How Lactic Acid Exfoliates and Improves Skin Texture

Lactic Acid stands out because it exfoliates and hydrates at the same time. It’s an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), meaning it dissolves the microscopic bonds holding dead skin cells together. When those bonds break down, the dead cells shed cleanly and the surface clears out.

Unlike harsher acids, Lactic Acid supports your skin’s moisture levels while exfoliating because it helps the skin hold hydration, maintain balance and stay resilient over time. It also supports collagen renewal, which helps soften the look of fine lines with consistent use.

It plays well with other acids too. Our exfoliator uses both Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid. Glycolic works deeper due to its smaller molecule size, while Lactic focuses on the surface. The combination gives you a thorough, controlled exfoliation without tipping your skin into irritation.

Why Men Should Use Skincare With Lactic Acid

If you want an exfoliator that actually delivers, choose one with Lactic Acid. It clears dead buildup, smooths uneven texture, supports firmness, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling stripped.

Our Renewal Exfoliator uses Lactic Acid in a balanced formula designed for men who want real results without the drama. It keeps your skin steady, clean, and ready for whatever you throw at it.
