Mechanism of Action
Lactic acid: It is commonly used for lubricating and moisturising skin, thus relieving dryness and itch.
Sodium PCA: It is a keratolytic agent. It encourages exfoliation of the skin and opening up of the plugged follicles, which helps re-establish the normal skin- cell replacement cycle. For milder acne, salicylic acid helps unclog pores to resolve and prevent lesions.
