## Overview

Mystic Moments Lactic Acid 80% Standard is a high-purity liquid alpha hydroxy acid designed for external cosmetic use. Ideal for professional skincare formulations, it offers powerful exfoliation at an optimal pH range of 3.5 to 4.5. Perfect for treating dry and rough skin, this cosmetic-grade AHA balances efficacy with gentleness when used at 5-20% concentrations.

## Description

Lactic Acid 80% Standard. It is a liquid solution in water of about 80% purity. 5 - 20% Lactic Acid would be a good place to start, as this is milder while still having excellent skin peel affects. Uses: Treating dry, rough & scaly skin. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.  Warnings: Dilute before use. As with all of the acids, it is important to let your skin acclimate to their use. For those whose skin is not used to the acids a slight stinging and redness may result. If this occurs, reduce usage. If irritation persists, discontinue use. This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards. Lactic Acid is a strong Alpha-Hydroxy Acid and hence will have excellent exfoliant properties, although these are weaker than, but second only to, Glycolic Acid. AHA products should be a stand alone treatment product and not included in another product. While AHA can be included in other products there are certain incompatibilities that may arise plus AHAs (because of the pH required for best effectiveness) may not allow other products (such as cleansing masks) to work properly, and vice versa. AHA products should have a pH of 3.5 to 4.5 for best effectiveness (Note at pH 7 AHAs are totally ineffective); while masks have a pH dependant on the function (cleansing masks with a pH of 7 to 8; moisturizing masks with a pH of 5 to 6 and some treatment masks with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5). Hence these may have incompatible pH.  If a product has some film forming agent or, in the case of masks, have materials which are not absorbed, these may reduce the absorption of AHAs. Hence reduce their effectiveness.Do not consume. For external use only. Keep away from children and eyes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use it in stretch mark and my face? How do I use it please explain thank u**
A: Dear Zainab..please don't put lactic acid directly onto skin it will peel and possibly damage. Stretch marks can only fade. You could put s few drops of lactic acid into a bottle of plain body moisturiser. Use regularly and keep hydrated. If the stretch marks are from weight gain or pregnancy then exercise will tone the muscles underneath. If they are from puberty, relax and moisturise. Sorry for delay and take care x

**Q: Is this vegan?**
A: Hello, 
Thank you for your query. We can confirm that yes this is a vegan friendly product.
kind regards

**Q: acid on your amazing site but unfortunately I can't read the     Instructions please could you information how to use this  product ? Thank you Sarah**
A: Lactic acid can be used to do skin peels. Diluted down with purified or distilled  water to a percentage for example 10% lactic acid (* a mathematical formula is used to do this).* Can also be used in lotions (* lotion should not hv carbomer in it). Do some research on lactic acid and how to use it before you purchase

**Q: Can i add this to my body wash?**
A: This is really strong stuff I wouldn’t risk it, I added it to some skin cream and use only on my feet and it peeled nicely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong facial AHA, perfect find
*by C***A on 12 August 2024*

This lactic acid has 80% concentration.So it's perfect for diluting into a smaller bottle.And using on my face 2-3 times a week as part of my routine team. I usually dilute it as 1:3 or 1:4 Depending on if I'm using it on my face or body. It is perfect for Under arms, elbows, neck, Face.. Gently strips away the top layers leaving Me with soft and supple skin. If i'm using a gentle Concentration.I will usually leave it on for the night and top it up wity a thick coat of moisturizer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome results on back after three uses!
*by A***E on 4 January 2020*

I have lots of old tan on my skin from years ago that has resulted in what I like to call 'black back'. Literally, the skin on my stomach and back was a totally different colour to the rest of me and the skin was old and dead looking. I have been using kojic acid soap for a while which has helped with scarring on my back but not been strong enough to really lift the dead skin. A beautician I know who works with Asian skin told me I needed some acid to help me shed, and I did some research myself.I've used this a few times now and it is definitely making a difference. I use it neat, wiping it on with cotton pads and removing with pads that have been soaked in bicarb of soda and water combo.I accidentally got a bit on my nose, and it didn't take long at all for it to burn. When the scab came off skin underneath was fine but I would never apply it to my face without diluting it down a lot.It's so exciting to see the skin on my back now. I get a crick in my neck from straining to have a proper look at the rapidly improving back situation, and surely annoy my family immediately after a session, as I am lifting my top every 5 minutes and asking them to check how much its worked!This is a valuable tool in the arsenal, especially for Indo Pak skin, which is more prone to visible pigment issues, scarring, etc. It's so encouraging to see beautiful, shiny skin emerging from the darkness. It's like giving it a good clean, just with a bit of acid!
