Lactobionic acid is the most superior Polyhydroxy acid (PHA) which is far more effective than AHAs but is less irritating to skin, because it has larger molecular structure, which limits its ability to penetrate into the skin, resulting in a reduction of irritating side-effects, decreasing sensitivity and discomfort. It is very effective in microdermabrasion and superficial peels for diminishing skin barrier function. The skin benefits by enhancing cell turnover, pigmentation normalization and collagen & elastic building qualities. It significantly corrects photoaged skin causing a measurable increase in skin thickness and thereby reversing histological symptoms of skin aging. Lactobionic acid is also extensively used in Organ preservation and food/meat preservation because of its antioxidant and hydration properties.
