Abstract
Methods of increasing the rate of lactic acid permeation in skin for the treatment of dermatological disorders by applying a composition containing an inorganic or organic salt of lactic acid in a dermatologically acceptable composition wherein at least 70% of the lactic acid moiety in the salt is L-lactic acid, and compositions for practicing such methods.
