The Role of Lactic Acid in Lip Resurfacing and Renewal

The Role of Lactic Acid in Lip Resurfacing and Renewal

Lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from natural fermentation processes, plays a significant role in safe, non-abrasive lip exfoliation.

How Lactic Acid Works:

  • Disrupts corneocyte bonds in the stratum corneum, promoting natural cell shedding.

  • Stimulates cell renewal, improving surface texture and radiance.

  • Enhances hydration absorption by removing barriers of dead skin.

Lips, lacking sebaceous glands and possessing a thinner outer layer, require a gentler exfoliation approach than facial skin.
Mechanical scrubbing often causes microtears; lactic acid offers a safer alternative.

The Tenol™ Exfoliating Lip Peel delivers 7% lactic acid in a precisely balanced formula, combined with moisturising agents to maintain lip integrity during the resurfacing process.

Regular resurfacing improves tone, texture, and product efficacy, supporting healthier, more resilient lips over time.
