CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid. It is a normal constituent of
tissues and blood. The alpha-hydroxy
acids (and their salts) may act as humectants when applied to the
skin. This property may influence
hydration of the stratum corneum. In addition, lactic acid, when
applied to the skin, may act to decrease
corneocyte cohesion. The mechanism(s) by which this is accomplished is
not yet known.
An _in vitro_ study of percutaneous absorption of Ammonium Lactate
Lotion using human cadaver skin
indicates that approximately 5.8% of the material was absorbed after
68 hours.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
