Ingredient

Lactobionic Acid

A large-molecule poly-hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates while acting as a powerful humectant and antioxidant.

Lactobionic Acid is derived from oxidised lactose and has a high water-binding capacity, forming a film that hydrates and smooths skin. Its bulky structure slows skin penetration, resulting in minimal stinging and making it ideal for post-procedure or very sensitive skin.
