Acid peels can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. One of the most common types of acid peels is the 30ml acid peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn acid peel 30ml is a type of chemical peel that contains a 10% concentration of acid. The acid used in this type of peel can vary, but some of the most commonly used acids include glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. These acids work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed from the surface of the skin. This process of exfoliation can help to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin and can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the benefits of a 30ml acid peel is that it can be customised to suit the individual. For example, a 30ml glycolic acid peel may be recommended for people with mild to moderate acne, while a 30ml salicylic acid peel may be more appropriate for people with oily skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn acid peel 30ml is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and treat a wide range of skin concerns.

A lactic acid chemical peel enriched with Vitamin B5, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Rose Geranium oil, this product is perfect for dry, ageing skin.

Lactic Acid helps with all these things and is a fantastic at home treatment that can give some really great results.
NEW FORMULA - This is our new formula launched May 2022, please perform a patch test before using this product. Due to the presence of polysorbate 20 which is what allows the beautiful rose geranium oil to mix with the water in the formula, the formula will appear cloudy and may settle at the bottom of the bottle, always shake before use.
This peel is suitable for all skin types, so even if you have sensitive skin, you can still enjoy the benefits of this excellent product.

How Does It Work?
Lactic acid is a very effective exfoliant that works at the base of the skin’s epidermis (the top layer of skin), dissolving the ‘glue’ that holds dead skin cells together, allowing the fresh, healthy skin to be revealed. Because this increases cell turnover, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more even in tone and texture.
Lactic Acid is also a humectant, this means it can help to attract water within the skin, when our skin is dehydrated it can look lacklustre and sallow, by increasing the hydration in the top layers of your skin, your skin will instantly appear a little plumper.
At the same time Lactic Acid may also stimulate your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and keeps it elastic and line free, as we age, our bodies produces less of the main structural protein that keeps your face elastic - so wrinkles start forming!
AHA’s encourage better product absorption. When we find a fantastic serum and moisturiser to use on our skin, we want to ensure we get the best from the product. Unfortunately, when added to the dead skin cells and excess oil already coating the surface of our skin, these products are not going to work at their full potential. Lactic acid exfoliates, removing this dead skin, meaning your products no longer have this barrier that they need to penetrate through, this greatly improves the efficacy (effectiveness) of the products.
Active Ingredients
Our formula is 70% aloe vera, achieved by using a highly concentrated aloe vera powder instead of traditional gel. This approach is more cost-effective and eco-friendly. Aloe vera powder is lighter and requires far less space for transport, significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to the bulkier gel. Additionally, it has a longer shelf life and is easier to store, helping to minimize waste. Using powder allows for precise formulation, ensuring that each product contains a high concentration of aloe’s beneficial compounds, like antioxidants and enzymes, while supporting more sustainable practices in the production and distribution process
FAQ
What's the difference between Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid? Lactic acid is a milder exfoliator, it's also a humectant which means it helps the skin to retain moisture. It can be used alongside our glycolic acid and salicylic acid and gives the skin a plumped up appearance and a beautiful, healthy glow. Lactic Acid is the best choice if you suffer with dry or dehydrated skin.
Will my face be sore and peeling?
A chemical peel works to help exfoliate the skin without the need for any scrubs or manual exfoliators. Home use chemical peels help to speed up the natural exfoliation process, removing the top, dead layer of skin.
Despite this, you won’t see your skin peeling off. What is noticeable though, are the amazing results when you stimulate cell turn over (another world for exfoliation) you’ll instantly see smoother and brighter skin.

UKRAINE Shipping Services
We have resumed shipping to Ukraine but please be aware there will be delays. To buy products in Ukraine please contact https://aslaboratory.com.ua/.
We ship via Royal Mail, orders are then passed over to UKrposhta. Ukrposhta has provided an update that road access for postal exchanges with Ukrposhta’s centre in Kyiv is severely limited, some international mail processing operations have been moved to Lviv. Longer transit times continue to be experienced due to queues at the border and difficult road connections within Ukraine. Ukraine Post continue to remain committed to maintaining postal operations, but will not be able to guarantee compliance with the agreed delivery standards.
Ми відновили доставку в Україну, але майте на увазі, що можливі затримки. Щоб придбати продукцію в Україні, звертайтесь на сайт https://aslaboratory.com.ua/.
Відправляємо Королівською Поштою, потім замовлення передають на Укрпошту. Укрпошта повідомила про те, що під’їзд поштового зв’язку до центру Укрпошти в Києві сильно обмежений, деякі операції з обробки міжнародної пошти перенесено до Львова. Тривалість транзиту продовжує тривати через черги на кордоні та складне дорожнє сполучення в межах України. «Пошта України» продовжує підтримувати поштові операції, але не зможе гарантувати дотримання узгоджених стандартів доставки.
