Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Created to cherish dry, compromised skin top-to-toe, Gallinée’s Body Milk deeply hydrates as it helps to exfoliate thanks to its specialist medley of lactic acid, sweet almond oil and the patented Triple Biotic Complex of pre-, pro and postbiotics.Developed to supplement skin’s microbiome to keep your limbs strokeably soft and protected, lactic acid dissolves dulling, dead surface cells to eliminate scales while respecting your skin’s equilibrium.
lactic acid
1.9% -
2.3%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
