[@chyrrellweekes2907]

The Ordinary has a 5% Lactic Acid that I use. I was hesitant to try the 10%. It's a good thing I listened to my instincts. I learnt to use milder products from Dr. V and my skin is much better. It took months but skin care is a never ending journey

[@ryeofoatmeal]

omg me too! I've been using TO 5% for 4 years now and it worked wonder. I thought i wanna upgrade to 10% but I'm so scared cos my skin tends to get irritated. I'm glad I didn't change it :D

Great advice! Ive been using the face theory exaglow which has lactic acid and for exfoliating I used 8% glycolic acid by Mizon and the switched to TO 10% lactic acid. Neither caused any problems as I only used it once a week but I much preferred Lactic acid. Mandelic was too weak, Glycolic was too strong, lactic acid sits nice in the middle for my skin

[@justspittingsomefacts6425]

I have olive skin tone. I put glycolic acid on my face 3 times a week and I noticed my face getting darker, like it's doing the opposite of what the product promises. So I tried twice a week and it's still dark until I finally stop and give up. Glad I came across to your channel and learned that skin care will work depends on your skin color, age etc. Now I will go to lactic acid. Can I use the ordinary lactic acid 5%?

[@Toytatu]

Hey the same thing just happened to me, Did your spots get better? Did you try the lactic acid?

[@justspittingsomefacts6425]

@@Toytatu I used barrier creams, niacinamide and sunscreen for 6 months straight and it got better. I purchased the lactic acid 10% and it's still irritating my skin. I regretted it lol. This time I will buy 5%. I don't use the 10% anymore

[@dude8791]

Glycolic acid is harsh for skin of colour and actually makes it more sensitive to sun exposure so that's probably why your skin got darker, lactic acid at 5% is safe to use once or twice a week (at night) but no more than that, the best chemical exfoliant I've come across for skin of colour is the Paula's choice BHA 2% perfecting liquid

I threw away my lactic acid serum. I used it and it melted some of the skin around my mouth and chin. I mean it literally ate it off. Because I am on Tretinoin which thins the skin, I can’t use lactic acid. Even tho you do not like glycolic acid, I’ve had better results with it and it has never melted my skin. I’m trying to heal those scars even to this day as a result of what the lactic acid did to my skin.
