I've used that stuff for the past year and it's not strong at all. It never stings like the moisturizers with glycolic acid do. It's suprisingly gentle and it works really well. I think it works better because it has the lactic acid. I only use it for my face too. Seriously, this stuff has done wonders for my skin. So much better then eucerin or neutrogena healthy skin which burns your face. A little goes a long way as well.

Thanks for your reply; that's very comforting to hear. One thing to clarify: are you using the regular Lac-Hydrin lotion or the one made for the face, Lac-Hydrin 5 or whatever it's called? Also, are you on the regimen?

BUMP

Please help guys.

it sounds pretty scary Illy, all kinds of warnings there.

Typically, anything over 4% has the potential to be very irritating by itself, then if you put it over bp, I think you're destined for further irritation.

If it were me, I would not use it.

I use an 8% AHA, which isn't irritating at all. I don't know about 12%, though ...that seems a bit strong.

Lac-Hydrin 5. It says it's for body but gentle enough to even use on your face. It's a fairly big bottle with a green label

no really this stuff isn't strong at all. Okay so cetaphil moisturizer actually burns my face. The one that is supposed to be everything free, If I put it on, my face will sting and my eyes will water. The lac hydrin stuff does absloutely nothing. My skin is really senstive.
