Nobody does it like you. You are so detailed in the way you explain everything. I wish I would have found you sooner. I could have reached my skincare goals by now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
@@MontarboSkinCareSanDiego Hi there, sorry to bombard your comment section lol but can I use Ammonium Lactate 12% moisturizing cream instead ? Thank you 😊
I've learned alot from your channel!!! I don't understand why your channel should be so much larger!!!! I hope it grows so fast deserved it and a professional with skin care.
Thank you! I've tried a 10% lactic acid solution on my chicken skin and wow, the bumps are almost non-visible the first night of use! I've used scrubs, moisturizers, bleaching products just to smoothen out parts of my skin that has chicken skin before and nothing worked, except for this one!
I did a beauty monster plasma pen. I live in an area where we don't have access to spa treatments. Most of the time I do my own treatments. I've watched other videos on the plasma pens. For wrinkles
Hi Cody! You look fabulous! Your skin is a testimonial to the quality of your products. Thank-you for this video. I truly appreciate you taking the time to educate your viewers about the benefits of Lactic Acid. I had no idea it could be beneficial in so many ways! I am older, so I better get going with Lactic Acid. Thank-you again. Be well-Helene
Thank you so much. I did my very first acid peel last night, a Lactic Acid 50% and obviously left on for a little too long. Never mind, I'm not going anywhere for a few days anyway and I'm sure I'll look fabulous after it's healed a bit more. Looking forward to getting more good results when I start using regularly (and for less time). With gratitude x
@@MontarboSkinCareSanDiegocan you tell me how to apply it and do we wipe it off ? Or leave on over night ? I bought the ordinary 5% I have sentuve skin
I bought yours, I have sensitive skin, can"t use it everyday. But after watching this, I am going to try and get my skin used to it. Thanks for this information
Thank you so much for your trust. Not necessary to use every day. Once a week is fine but maybe you could step it up just a tiny bit and rents anytime if you feel like you need it
Hi cody, I'm shocked you dont have more subscribers. I love watching you...so much good info on having good skin..product knowledge ect. Ps.. my daughter just graduated from college. She went for esthetics..taking state boards in July. 😊 so proud .. hope your having a good weekend! Xo
Gina henkel awe thank you sweetheart. I’m grateful that others find my info helpful. Wishing your daughter the best of luck and success, love this industry.
First of all I want to say your videos our revolutionary to me, that I only just realized some things after watching them (like how can I use more than a pea size amount of retin A). I want to incorporate lactic acid in to my regimen. Would it be too much to use it with retinA? Can I do alternate nights with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cody’s lactic changed my Skin! The closed comedones are gone! And I glow naturally, I have a sheen to my skin 24/7! I’m almost out eek lol I hope Cody doesn’t mind the shout out to my IG but look at it! It really has made a huge difference!
I had no idea lactic acid was so important. Do you prefer it over glycolic acid? I'm going to purchase yours asap. Not sure how to fit it into my routine but since I'm new here and binge watching 😊 im hoping I find a video to help with that.
i use lactacyd baby bath it contains lactoserum and lactic acid and thats what i use for my face combination with dove beauty bar i can really tell i dont hav acnes before only one pimple
Hi Cody, so good to see you. Let me tell you your lactic acid brightening is slowly fading the melasma on my cheeks. I am very happy with the results. 🙏🏽
I’m like 444, a freaky reoccurring number for me.🤷🏻♀️🤪 Great video! I’ve made my own lactic acid facial using homemade yogurt, pumpkin purée and honey, followed by warm towels. ACV toner followed by a hyaluronic acid serum. Aging sucks.
I started using ordinary lactic acid 10% +ha . I use a strong moisturizer after it that’s about it. I have few acne spots that’s all . Would this regime help?
I love my lactic acid body wash , I’ just bumped up to a a 20% how often shoukd i use it on my body , I’m black and i have hyperpigmentation as well as dark scaring ,,I’m also using a 20% lactic acid lotion , just started last night . So how often should i use this ? I’m gonna use my lotion every night . I use a 50% peel on my face but i don’t follow up to see results so I’m wondering if i shouldn’t include a lactic face wash and lactic moisturizer
Missed you Cody!!! I actually use a mixture of glycolic acid and lactic acid, about 15% of each. Are those two acids good together, in your opinion?? I only use it once a week because I use prescription Retin-a nightly. Really, really love you and your channel!!!
So happy you spoke on Lactic Acid Cody. I have been using it for years along with Retin-A and Vit-C Serum. People think I am 20 yrs younger than I really am. Of course genetics also deserve some credit ;-))
@@texasgirlhowdy Hi; I use LA every 2-4 weeks as a Peel. I have 90% LA, and mix with distilled water to the %-age I want. I also mix LA with a non-Carbomer lotion for use on my body to 17%. It is then similar to Amlactin which I believe is 12% lotion. Hope this helps.
I bought a 65 percent lactic acid from a reputable company but omg it burned my face in spots around my mouth and under my eyes and my nasal folds What the heck did I do wrong ? I did do a TCA peel about two weeks ago but Lactic acid has never burned me before and I only left it on for one min! And I quickly washed it off ! I’m 55 years old and I’m trying to get my under eye bags gone and the wrinkles under them tighten up and darkness gone ! What do you suggest I use to get rid of my problem under my eyes ? Help lol
How would you use this with your other products?Currently using and LOVING(obssessed is more like it😂) your mothers day collection(also bought your amazing vit C)when and how would I use the lactic acid? I'm also starting my retin A soon, can the lactic acid be used with all the above? Thanks for your help! You're the best👏✌👌😘!!!
Wow thank you so much for your trust and purchase. So honored to be trusted with your skin and concerns. Just use the lactic a couple times a week when you want more exfoliation. Or you can use a few drops every night and leave it on for a couple minutes then rinse
Where in my skin care regimen should I use lactic acid? I assume I would rotate between retinol and this but I am not even sure where that is supposed to go. Thanks in advance.
Hello. I am an 18 year old who has mild acne but my forehead acne is pretty severe. I am currently on Retin A gel and a lot of my acne is on my hairline. I do wear my hair down, but I make sure to wipe my forehead and face throughout the day. Most of the forehead acne is composed of acne marks. Any tips?
I have small spots of rosacea and psoriasis on my face, one on cheek a dime size and one on forhead. Using prescribed creams on those spots but still red, laying off everything else. Can I use my lactic on other parts of face?
denise bissell yes you can, best to slowly introduce the active solution. You may be able to work it up to use all over as it will help strengthen and condition.
I’ve tried TO 10 percent after I wash my face then a retin a cream and my skin peels a bit. So the only way it works is if I apply my moisturizer then the retin a cream then lactic acid. I’m just wondering if the retin a and lactic acid are going to penetrate
If you feel tolerant, you may use lactic first, moisturizer, wait 10-15min, then apply Retin a. Yes they will penetrate, Retin a works best when done consistent for max results as it takes time to work in the skin to regenerate
Yes chemical exfoliants are regenerating like Vitamin A. Also retinol is a friendlier option if you’re still wanting to try a retinoid into your regimen.
Montarbo Skincare:San Diego Chemical Peel thank you!!! I tried Retin-A for three and a half months and I felt like I ended up getting more damage than benefit! But I’m gonna try out lactic acid and pray for the best!! THANK YOU!!! Also thanks for the retinol recommendation!!!!
I just bought The Ordinarys Lactic Acid 10% + HA.. and now looking at your video... how long do you recommend leaving it on the face for? And does this help with unclogging pores?)
I’ve been using the 5% for 2 years. Use it one to two times per week, after cleansing and toning then apply to your face, leave for 2 minutes and apply moisturizer. Wash off in the morning and you’re good to go. Don’t forget SPF!
Does that cream help with hyperpigmentation? I got a burn from stupidly doing my own TCA 50 percent peel at home and I’m tan skin. The PIH is fading but it’s been two months and it still is discolored around my mouth area
I’m so sorry to hear, lactic acid does help with brightening. Using other brighteners such as vitamin c, Kojic acid, Alpha Arbutin, hydroquinone, and vitamin a are very helpful
Hi! Welcome and thank you so much. My lactic? I don’t feel they need to be, as long as it’s stored reasonably, it’s fine. My products last about a year open and about 2 unopened
I have two questions. I hope you will answer it🙏🏻 I want to know does lactic acid oxidized like vitamin c or not? How would i know if my lactic acid cannot be use anymore?
Hi that’s a great question it depends on if it has been out in the sun or outside or if the top has been off. Any product can become less potent if not sealed and stored correctly. Also timing is important, although the products may not be as strong it may still be used for some benefits.
If it’s like my formula I would say once a week, you may use other acids if skin approves. The one from the Ordinary sounds fine as their solutions are milder
Yes this will help balance and train skin to retain moisture better. Has multiple benefits in dissolving build up, improving breakout and brightening. Using more water based moisture masks will help as well. Since it is an active treatment, the more you use, the more dry your skin will become then flake, like a light peel
Hi, that’s a very advanced routine but if you feel tolerant you can use the lactic first, then wait like 10 minutes or so before applying your form of vitamin a
Nobody does it like you. You are so detailed in the way you explain everything. I wish I would have found you sooner. I could have reached my skincare goals by now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

How often do use lactic acid peel professionally thx
WTF I haven't gotten any notification for your channel in weeks 😩 I got some catching up to do
CZcams’s notifications stopped working last year. Glad you catching up ❤️
How is this one compared to good genes? I tried a sample of good genes and it was amazing but i bought the full bottle and it seems not as strong.
Cody , how and when should it be used please , thank you missed you love your info xxxxx
It’s so great to see you Julio. Best use three times a week as your main exfoliate. Or a few drops every day at night rinsing it after a few minutes
Hi Cody. Do you ship to the UK?
Missed you Cody!!! I actually use a mixture of glycolic acid and lactic acid, about 15% of each. Are those two acids good together, in your opinion?? I only use it once a week because I use prescription Retin-a nightly.

Is your lactic acid treatment meant to leave on or wash off? Also, can you do a video comparing lactic and glycolic acid?? Love yo Cody!
I definitely can do a video. You can leave it on or rinse it off. Depends on your tolerance
GirlyMuscleTV i use nith , but find lactic more tolorabke
Cody, thanks for this video. Exactly where in the skin care regime is Lactic Acid used? Do you apply it and then rinse off or leave on? Thanks
If you use it daily you can apply a few drops and then rinse it off after three minutes or use it three times a week using about 10 drops.
Can I use this with Niacinamide?
Does it help with scarring?? My dumb butt popped under the skin pimples.
😍😍😍
How would you use this with your other products?Currently using and LOVING(obssessed is more like it😂) your mothers day collection(also bought your amazing vit C)when and how would I use the lactic acid?

Loved the explanation.... May i know how much time it usually take to show results and for how long should i use it
It’s hard to say as results vary, depends on your skin and how much damage there is
Does lactic acid cause the skin to purge? Also love your videos Cody, always so informative😊
Yes it can since it’s active.
I love you and you're so glowy. I found a really inexpensive 10% lactic acid by the Ordinary.
I use the ordinary lactic acid 10 percent as well and I love it
i want to use it too, did you experience purge?
Sofia Salazar no not at all
My question is the same as Elizabeth Lopez. I'm also on Retin a...how would that work. thanks love!
Use a few drops before RA or use this a couple times a week for the fabulous exfoliation
Where in my skin care regimen should I use lactic acid? I assume I would rotate between retinol and this but I am not even sure where that is supposed to go. Thanks in advance.
Depending on the product formulation, best to use a few times a week

You most likely need to exfoliate. This lactic can help or something similar.
How do you feel about PCA skin ultra peel? Its lactic acid. I get realky good results doing a light peel/2-3 layers of the peel every 3 weeks.
Hi I think it’s a good brand, they’ve been around for years and is a great intro to peels
Hi❣I want to try lactic acid, is it suitable for mixed skin (half African half white) ? Great video and great skin BTW 🌹💚
I'm black African and works well for me.

Love all the amazing info you give us! Lactic or glycolic better? Love you!!!
Both are similar but lactic is tolerated on most skin types especially more sensitive. And it does help with hydration a little bit more than glycolic
@@MontarboSkinCareSanDiego Thank you so much!!!
I have “chicken skin” under both of my eyes. Will this help? I am using a retinol and vitamin c as well.
I had that look too. Have a dermatologist or plastic surgeon inject a filler by the eyebrow and below it plumps the skin up and takes away that look!
Have you tested or have an opinion on Dr Dennis Gross universal Daily alpha beta peel? Is this the same as lactic acid?
I love his products. Definitely a different formulation. Mine is a bit stronger
@@MontarboSkinCareSanDiego Thanks Cody❤️

If it’s like my formula I would say once a week, you may use other acids if skin approves. The one from the Ordinary sounds fine as their solutions are milder
Cody, do you think it is better than glycolic acid?
Glycolic is off the hydroxy acid which is also in the same family. They work very similarly
Can i use my facial wash with lactic acid and vitamin c serum after? Or retinol cream after? Thank you!
You can use a Lactic face wash and apply vitamin c after on dry skin. Allow that to absorb before putting on retinol
@@MontarboSkinCareSanDiego thank you again..
