So …yeah so it actually works y'all!!
I'd been using Hyaluronic acid which is great for moisture but when I get stressed out, I get pimples that result in dark spots. So I watched a few YouTube videos and the ladies(Dark Skin women) all recommended it. I had nothing to lose so I tried it. LET ME TELL YOU GUYS THAT IT WORKS! These days, ...

Is this a wash off treatment or a leave-on?
I don't have a review yet, as I just purchased a bottle of the Lactic Acid exfoliating serum today. I'm a bit confused as to how this should be used. Is this a treatment that you leave on for a few minutes (or 10, 15 minutes?) and then wash off? Or, do you apply it after cleansing and leave it on...

I'd compare this to Sunday Riley's lactic acid
I purchased this as a dupe to SR's Good Genes Lactic Acid and i honestly didnt expect it to work as well. I was pleasantly surprised that I noticed a huge texture difference within a few days' use. I'm prone to dry skin and this did not dry or irritate my skin at all. I havent got any new breakouts since using this. Im very happy with this product.
Great
Love this I will buy again
If you use Amlactin on your body, use this on your face
I've been using paula's choice BHA exfoliant for 2 years, with no noticeable results. But I've been using a lactic acid body lotion on my body and it keeps that skin clear. I bought this after it dawned on me that I should look into face lactic acid. This stuff has been reducing my break outs and helping clear existing acne. I'm using a vitamin c in addition to lighten scarring and I'm seeing a real improvement after a month of use. I'll be buying this forever. If you have success with lactic acid body lotion, you should buy this.
Does it's job
As an oily girl with textured skin this works pretty well. Be careful not to use more than one a day as it could irritate your skin. When this happens I just use a barrier cream than it's all good
One of my favorite products.
I have tried several different brands of Lactic Acid 10%. I always come back to Ordinary projects.
