What it is

Explained
Lactobionic Acid is a PHA. PHAs exfoliate the top layer of skin.
PHAs are more gentle than AHAs due to their larger structure. They do not penetrate as deeply as AHAs and take a longer time to dissolve dead cells. Studies show PHAs do not cause as much irritation.
By removing dead skin cells, PHAs leave the skin brighter and with even-texture.
PHAs also exhibit antioxidant activity by neutralizing free-radical molecules. This can help with anti-aging.
