About Lacsoft Lotion

Lacsoft Lotion belongs to the class of medication called ‘Alpha-hydroxy acid’ primarily used for brighter, more radiant skin complexation. Besides this, it is also used to treat skin problems like acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and photoaging (premature ageing of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Lacsoft Lotion is derived from milk with an antibacterial, antioxidant,  keratolytic (remove warts, calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. 

Lacsoft Lotion contains Lactic acid, which works by increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and moisturizing the skin. Lacsoft Lotion acts as an acid exfoliant that softens and dissolves the keratin. Besides this, it also helps to slow down the shedding of skin, thereby allowing the skin to function longer before flaking off.

Use Lacsoft Lotion as advised by your doctor. Lacsoft Lotion is only for external (skin only) use. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Lacsoft Lotion on sunburned, windburned, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Lacsoft Lotion include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, and skin rash.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Lacsoft Lotion. Let your physician know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Lacsoft Lotion can make the skin more sensitive in the sunlight, hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying Lacsoft Lotion on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams, or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Lacsoft Lotion. 

Uses of Lacsoft Lotion

Hyperpigmentation, Wrinkles, Photoaging, Dry skin

Directions for Use

Apply Lacsoft Lotion evenly on the affected area. Massage it gently until it gets absorbed completely.

Medicinal Benefits

Lacsoft Lotion protects the skin from dryness, lightens dark spots and blemishes and the skin even tone and soft. It is a moisturizing agent that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin, hence traps in the water. Thereby moisturizes the outermost layer of skin and makes it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Applying directly to the skin gets easily absorbed into the skin, provides excellent moisture to dry patchy skin areas. It acts as an anti-ageing tool by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes collagen production, which helps firm the skin. It also plays a major role in lightening age spots. It can lighten hyperpigmentation and decrease age spots and acne scars.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hyperpigmentation: It is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening of skin occurs when an excess of melanin (hormone), the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin.

Dark spots: These occurs when some skin areas start producing more melanin(a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair, and skin) which can range from light to dark brown. 

Dry skin: It is a condition in which skin becomes dry and marked by itching, cracking and scaling especially in winters.

Sensitive skin: It refers to the skin that has a more strong reaction when coming in contact with dyes, fragrances and other products.
