I've used both of the ordinary lactic acid strengths and the paulas choice 10 minute mask. All are great.

Which is the best lactic acid serum or exfoliater product for oily , sensitive skin?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Any of the ones mentioned in the video will be good but I would start by only using once a week if you are sensitive. It’s normal for you to get some tingling for a few minutes but it should subside. I would also include niacinamide in your skincare routine to help with barrier repair if you are both oily and prone to sensitivity. Avoid face cleansers that contain sulfates or give you that squeaky clean feeling as that is often a sign of stripping away your natural oils and your skin will try to compensate by producing excess oil.

Hola, para la hiperpigmentación qué es mejor el ácido láctico o ácido glicólico?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Both are great, however lactic acid has a larger molecular size so it is more gentle less irritating on your skin. It is also hydrating. So if you have dry skin or sensitive skin, it would be more suitable. Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular weight which means that it penetrates your skin easier. However, because of this, it’s also more likely to cause skin irritation. You could find a serum that has both acids in it that is well formulated, and that would be perfect!

Vitamin C is great for brightening the skin and helping your hyperpigmentation. However Olay would have a low concentrate of this ingredient. I would opt for The Ordinary or Paula’s choice for your skincare if you are looking for affordable active skincare ingredients. The ordinary alpha arbutin, niacinamide and vitamin c serum will be great. Remember sunscreen too. Melasma is often caused by hormonal or medication changes. It is a different type of pigmentation. If you’ve had it for a while and you are not pregnant/breast feeding - get this checked with your doctor :)

[@SkinZoneTV]

Hey Laila, yes lactic acid from the ordinary is great but only use 2 x per week. It is a gentle form of exfoliation but ensure you wear sunscreen daily. It won't fade your hyperpigmentation alone though, but it is the best exfoliation ingredient to use for hyperpigmentation. Other ingredients you should add to your routine are Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide and Azelaic acid. These inhibit the enzyme that creates pigmentation so it will prevent excess hyperpigmentation from forming but also fade your current dark spots.

Hey!! Lactic acid is exfoliating, so replace it for your exfoliation phase of your skincare routine. Apply all over the face, neck and chest area. Avoid eyes and lips. It is a more gentle form of chemical exfoliant and it is hydrating. If you have sensitive skin, opt for a lower % and start off slowly by using only once or twice a week. You can always patch test prior to use, but follow product usage guidelines of the skincare product you purchase. Niacinamide would also be a great skin ingredient for your sensitivity and hyperpigmentation.

[@SkinZoneTV]

Hyperpigmentation is a stubborn skin condition that requires ongoing maintenance of the correct skin care ingredients to inhibit the tyrosinase enzymes in the skin that produces excess pigment. Lactic acid as an exfoliation will help lighten the area, but if it is around the mouth it sounds hormonal. You can chat to your doctor about your hormone levels. Ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin a, vitamin c, alpha arbutin and lactic acid are perfect for homecare.

Best check with your local GP only because if you’re breastfeeding you’re limited to the type of products you can actually use on your skin. You need to wait until you’re fully finish breastfeeding and then you can incorporate vitamin A and salicylic acid into your routine.

Vitamin C is anti-aging as it stimulates the fibroblasts in the dermis to create more healthy strong collagen. You can always include The Ordinary granactive retinoid 2% to your routine in the evening. In terms of your hands and feet, they will be naturally darker than the rest of your body as they exposed to sunlight more often.

@@lafilosofiadiofelia1700 You have done amazing with your English, I understood you perfectly. You have a great routine so well done. Since you are not seeing results with your hyperpigmentation I would consider adding niacinamide, and a retinoid. I know you are using bakuchiol which is an alternative to retinoids. Once you run out of that product, you could try a retinoid to use 2-3x per week to begin with. Retinoid is more gentle than a retinol and would be a good starting point since you are more prone to sensitivity. Niacinamide is great for hyperpigmentation and sensitivity so that would be suitable for you. Keep in mind you cannot mix niacinamide or retinoids with vitamin c. Lactic acid is a gentle form of exfoliation so including this once a week would be beneficial also. However I would add the niacinamide + retinoid first, if you are hesitant on exfoliating. :) Vitamin A (retinoid) is naturally exfoliating Hope this helps!
