As I learned more about how skin changes with age, I realised that true radiance is not about covering imperfections, but gently renewing what is already there. Lactic acid felt like a natural extension of everything I believe in. Simple. Effective. Thoughtfully formulated. Not a harsh peel or a quick fix, but a refining ritual that supports the skin’s own renewal process and restores a healthy, luminous glow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Lactic Acid Serum do?
It exfoliates the skin’s surface by breaking down dead skin cells, helping to smooth texture, brighten dullness, and promote a fresh, radiant complexion.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Lactic acid is one of the mildest Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive. Always patch test first and start slowly.
How often should I use it?
Begin using it 2–3 times per week in the evening, and gradually increase as your skin adapts. If you experience any irritation, reduce frequency.
When should I apply it in my routine?
Apply after cleansing and before your serums or moisturiser. It can be followed with our Hyaluronic Acid Serum for hydration.
Can I use it with other acids or exfoliants?
It’s best not to combine multiple acid-based products in the same routine. Keep it simple and let your skin adjust before layering other actives.
Should I use sunscreen while using this product?
Yes. AHAs can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, so daily SPF protection is essential.
Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Lactic acid is generally considered safe, but we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before introducing new active skincare ingredients.
Will it dry out my skin?
No. Unlike stronger acids, lactic acid helps improve hydration while exfoliating. Our formula also includes soothing aloe vera and chamomile hydrosol to maintain balance.
How long will it take to see results?
Many users notice smoother, brighter skin after just a few uses. With consistent use, tone and texture visibly improve over 4–6 weeks.
Can I use it with retinol or the Natural Retinol Night Mask?
Avoid layering both in the same routine to prevent irritation. Alternate nights are ideal - use Lactic Acid Serum one night and Natural Retinol the next.
Is this serum vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, like all Black Chicken Remedies products, it’s 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ethically sourced ingredients.
What percentage of lactic acid does it contain?
It contains 5% lactic acid - ideal for gentle yet noticeable results.
Can men use this serum?
Absolutely. It’s suitable for all skin types and ideal for anyone wanting smoother, more even skin texture.
What should I do if my skin feels tingly or warm?
A mild tingling is normal, especially with first use. If you experience redness or discomfort, rinse and reduce frequency until your skin adjusts.
