** Side effects of biological exfoliation with lactic acid **

Although lactic acid is milder than other AHAs such as glycolic acid and mandelic, it is still a fairly powerful treatment. You should note:

- Lactic acid makes the skin more sensitive to the sun. You should apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily and cover your skin carefully after use. If not, you may accidentally make the problems you are trying to solve (such as bruises and wrinkles) get worse.

- Lactic acid can cause skin irritation with symptoms such as: hot, red, peeling, dry, itchy, swollen skin. Note: Light redness, burning, and itching are quite common when you take lactic acid for the first time. With nursing products, if it is light and disappears within an hour, there is nothing serious. If it is moderate to severe, does not go away after 1 hour or if you have redness or a rash, wash it immediately. Do not reuse the product and call your doctor for advice. With peeled product, neutralize with lotion after 10 minutes. Need to clean immediately if redness or rash.
