It loosens the bonds holding dead surface cells in place so they shed — and unlike glycolic acid, it's also a humectant, so it draws water in while it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLactic acid, 12%\u003c\/strong\u003e — buffered as ammonium lactate.
