The 45% Lactic Acid Peel is the versatile mid-strength option in our lactic family — delivering meaningful exfoliation and visible results for a broad range of skin types and concerns without the recovery time of stronger formulas. At this concentration, the peel visibly improves texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines, while helping to reduce the visible appearance of mild hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

The hydrating properties of lactic acid remain a clinically relevant feature at this strength — making this peel particularly effective for aging or dry skin types that benefit from exfoliation but cannot tolerate the dryness associated with glycolic-based peels at comparable concentrations. It pairs well with follow-on actives such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, whose absorption is enhanced after exfoliation.
