Lactic acid smooths and exfoliates to support skin renewal and help reduce visible pigmentation.

Glycerin draws moisture into the skin to prevent tightness or post-cleanse dryness.

Non-foaming, non-stripping texture that rinses clean without residue.

Helps prepare skin for pigment-correcting routines while respecting barrier integrity.

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works by loosening the bonds between corneocytes (dead skin cells) in the stratum corneum (outermost skin layer), promoting controlled exfoliation and accelerating epidermal turnover (the process of shedding dull, pigmented surface cells and replacing them with fresher ones underneath). It also functions as a humectant, drawing water into the skin and supporting barrier hydration.


In pigmentation-prone skin, lactic acid helps fade the appearance of uneven skin tone and superficial discolouration by encouraging the removal of pigmented surface cells. By gently resurfacing the skin, it prepares the canvas for better penetration of pigment-modulating ingredients used afterward (such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or tyrosinase inhibitors). Its dual-action exfoliating and hydrating profile makes it ideal for supporting clarity without triggering irritation, especially in routines where stronger brightening actives are layered.

Quality matters greatly when it comes to skincare. Choosing the right products can significantly impact your long-term skin health, while cheaper alternatives might save money initially but carry hidden risks and damaging consequences.

Your pigment-corrective skincare starts with a cleanser that clears without compromise. Pigmentique Lacticlair delivers gentle exfoliation, hydration, and barrier-safe daily support.
