Description
Exfoliating hand cream with 5% lactic acid against age spots
Hands often reveal age faster than the face. They are the most exposed skin area to sun, water, soap, and daily wear, while typically receiving the least care. Thin skin on the backs of the hands, pigmentation spots, wrinkled veins, and a rough texture are direct consequences of years of cumulative damage that has never been seriously addressed.
Alpha-H In Good Hands Renewing Hand Treatment translates clinical facial care into a night treatment for the hands. The rich yet fast-absorbing formula combines 5% lactic acid with nourishing oils and panthenol to dissolve dead skin cells, fade age spots, and restore the skin from within during sleep. In a clinical user study, 80% of participants saw an improvement in fine lines and 75% a reduction in dark spots.
Benefits
- Visibly fades age spots and sun-induced pigmentation on the backs of the hands
- Reduces fine lines and improves skin texture thanks to 5% lactic acid
- Nourishes and repairs dry, rough hands, cuticles, and knuckles overnight
- Soothes the skin with panthenol and strengthens the skin barrier
- Has a light, non-greasy texture with a refined Lemon Myrtle scent
Active ingredients
5% Lactic Acid: A mild alpha hydroxy acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating cell renewal. Besides its exfoliating effect, lactic acid is also hydrating, helping to fade pigmentation spots without drying out the skin — ideal for the thin skin on the backs of the hands.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5): A powerful hydrator that penetrates deeply into the skin and strengthens the natural protective barrier. Panthenol soothes irritation that can occur with exfoliation and promotes the repair of damaged or sensitive skin.
Australian Jojoba Oil: This plant-based oil has a composition remarkably similar to the skin's natural sebum, allowing it to be absorbed effortlessly. Jojoba deeply nourishes, restores suppleness, and provides a protective layer without a greasy finish.
Lemon Myrtle Oil: A native Australian ingredient with natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Lemon Myrtle supports protection against free radicals and gives the treatment its refined, fresh aroma.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this treatment on cracked or damaged skin?
No. Avoid applying on open wounds, cracked skin, or cuts. Lactic acid can cause irritation or a stinging sensation on these areas. Wait until the skin is fully healed before using the treatment on these zones.
Do I need sun protection during the day after use?
Yes, this is essential. Exfoliating ingredients like lactic acid increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays. Broad-spectrum sun protection on the backs of the hands prevents new pigmentation spots, especially during driving when hands are often unprotected in the sun.
How long does it take to see results?
In the four-week clinical user study, the majority of participants saw improvement in texture and pigmentation. You can often feel smoother, softer skin after just a few applications, while fading pigmentation spots usually requires three to six weeks of consistent use.
Is this product safe during pregnancy?
Yes. The formula with 5% lactic acid is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If in doubt, we always recommend discussing this with your midwife or doctor.
