Irritancy risk
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing a smoother, more even skin. PHAs tend to be gentler on the skin compared to AHAs (for example, glycolic acid). It also has hydrating properties and helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help calm down inflammation in skin and support restoration of the barrier function. It has an anti-oxidant effect as well. It can help reduce fine line, wrinkles and improve skin elasticity

Dr Dennis GrossDRx BioRejuvenation SerumClinical trials review
Compared with the baseline parameters, all clinically graded parameters improved significantly at both week 6 and week 12. Compared with the baseline measurements, pinch recoil measurements also improved significantly at both week 6 and week 12 with a 14.5% increase in skin firmness and elasticity at end point. Skin thickness increased significantly relative to baseline (6.9%; P,.05) and relative to the untreated control (1.9%; P,.01). The lactobionic acid 8% cream was well tolerated, and there were no significant increases in average irritation scores over the 12-week treatment period
