While lactic acid and other AHAs are a wonderful defense against fine lines and wrinkles, they do have their drawbacks, namely that they make skin more sensitive to sunlight. That being said, as much as we love lactic acid, we recommend only incorporating it into your skin care routine if you can commit to daily SPF use as well (which, BTW, you should already be doing). Got it? Good.
