The lactic acid produced from Lanate cream is a humectant on the skin and has beneficial effects when applied to dry skin, especially dry, scaly and lined skin.
Lactic acid, an α-hydroxy acid, is reported to be one of the most effective naturally occurring humectants in the skin. The α-hydroxy acids, in addition to having beneficial effects on dry skin, have also been shown to reduce excessive epidermal keratinization in patients with hyperkeratotic conditions (eg, ichthyosis). Lanate may also improve the appearance of rough skin such as that seen in keratosis pilaris.
Pharmacokinetics: The mechanism of action of topically applied neutralized lactic acid is not yet known.
