Why Lactic Acid Is the Anti-Aging Ingredient Every Twentysomething Should Be Using
Imaxtree
Somewhere between finishing school and hitting my mid 20’s, I suddenly found myself worrying not only about adult acne but also premature aging. Just as my skin settled into the odd annoying but manageable hormonal breakout, fine lines decided to join the party too, creeping onto my forehead just above my brows. It was at this time that “retinol,” “antioxidants,” and “topical vitamin C” officially became part of my vocab, and I started carrying SPF-everything in my handbag. Now, the newest arsenal added to my wrinkle-prevention strategy is lactic acid, which, aside from the unfortunate connotations of the stuff that causes post-workout pain, is a powerful way to slow down the aging process while also keeping breakouts at bay. And while a lot of other anti-aging products are too heavy and extreme for my 25-year-old skin, this ingredient does the job with zero irritation. Lactic acid is a potent type of AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid), similar to glycolic acid or fruit acid. As celebrity dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ronald Moy told me, AHAs slow the aging process: “All these AHAs are known for exfoliation of dead skin cells thus promoting the anti-aging skin benefits of promoting cell turnover.” Most of the lactic acid you find in skin-care products come from sour milk, fruits, or vegetables, while glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and fruit acids from citrus fruits, apples, or grapes.
