The Guru Index verdict
Approved
✓Approved · 78%What the gurus are saying
Gurus recommend lactic acid as a gentler exfoliating option, especially for dry and sensitive skin types. It works slowly and is less likely to trigger pigmentation concerns compared to stronger acids. The consistent advice is to use it at night, follow with diligent sunscreen in the morning since newly exposed skin is vulnerable, and alternate with other actives like retinol rather than using daily.
