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) are felt to 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
cream using human
cadaver skin indicates that approximately 6.1% of the material was
absorbed after 68
hours.
