Lactobionic Acid is a poly-hydroxy acid with multiple beneficial effects on the skin, without being an irritant on it.
Thanks to its composition characterized by numerous hydroxyl groups, it has a strong hygroscopic capacity that gives it a marked direct moisturizing action, keeping the skin luminous and plumped.
Inhibits the formation of the hydroxide radical thanks to a significant antioxidant activity, particularly useful in anti-aging cosmetics and to prevent photoaging.
It promotes the formation of collagen and it is effective in improving the capacity of cellular self-renewal, improving the appearance of the skin.
Some clinical studies have shown the reduction of the melanin index and therefore a skin lightening effect.
