Lactinol, an alpha-hydroxy acid, is a prescription medication used to treat dry skin (xerosis). It helps maintain the overall health of the skin. 

Lactinol is a triple action therapy, which generally leads to rapid improvement of symptoms in dry skin.           

• Lactinol exfoliates dead surface skin cells, helping your skin to return to normal function
• Lactinol draws moisture from deep within your skin to the outer skin layers
• Lactinol locks in the skin’s own moisture
