Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 5% formulation offers very gentle exfoliation and is supported by purified Tasmanian pepper known to reduce the signs of inflammation and sensitivity often associated with exfoliation. A stronger 10% formula is also available.
Tasmanian pepper, studied to help reduce irritation associated with acid use, is of plant origin and its colour varies with the seasons. This colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.
The pH of this formula is about 3.8. Lactic acid has a pKa of 3.8 and the pKa is the most important aspect to consider when formulating with acids. The pKa implies the availability of the acid. When the pKa is close to the pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, which maximizes the effectiveness of the acid and reduces irritation. A higher pH in this case would increase the salt, which would counter-intuitively make the formula even more irritating than if the formula were more acidic.
This pH-balanced treatment reveals a more luminous and revitalized complexion and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and depigmentation. It also leaves an even complexion and a refined skin texture.

Judge.me automatically verifies reviews based on the order history of Cosmeticary.com. If the notices are not associated with existing orders (e.g., directly from the websites Cosmeticary.com), Cosmeticary.com may request manual verification by submitting proof of orders.
A verified buyer badge is added once the review is verified by Judge.me. The badge can be translated and customized, but cannot be added by Cosmeticary.com even.
Ask for advice
Cosmeticary.com sends an email request for review to customers based on settings and conditions. Automatic reminders or web push notifications can be enabled. Cosmeticary.com may also request notification from past customers, not send automatic notification requests, or request/remind individual users. Cosmeticary.com can respond privately or publicly to any notice.
Give feedback
The customer can leave a review in the review form by e-mail or via the review widget. Product reviews are submitted via the review widget, while store reviews are submitted via the All Reviews page. Visitors can leave reviews without a (trackable) purchase history ("web reviews"). These can be disabled but will never receive a "Verified Buyer" badge if the reviewer's email is not on the store's customer list. Reviews provided by the same email will have the same display name.
Opinions are always voluntary. Cosmeticary.com does not pay their authors to write them.
The email address the customer provides will not be published and is used for verification purposes only.
Change the policy
Reviews can be edited to resolve typos, style/formatting issues, or minor review information. However, star ratings cannot be changed to maintain the integrity of reviews on Judge.me. After a change is made, an email notification is sent to the reviewer informing them of any changes. The reviewer can reject any changes by clicking in the notification email. The Judge.me team is notified of all review changes and review denials.
Method of calculating the stars
For the overall rating of the product, all the reviews given are taken into account to make the average.
