Learn why a glycolic acid cleanser is your secret weapon for glowing, refreshed, and deeply cleansed skin. Skincare tips for pH balance.

If the word “acid” makes you think of chemistry class disasters or corroded metal, it’s time to reframe your thinking. In the world of active skincare, acids are actually your skin’s best mates, the kind that keep things smooth, balanced, and glow-worthy.

who named lactic acid? it's a stupid name. it has the root word 'lac' for milk, just like lactose, lactase, and lactation, but means something entirely unrelated to milk.

general convention of language means, with the suffix -ic, lactic should mean "characteristic/property of milk", meaning lactic acid should be acid that has to do with milk. but it's not. it's stupid

-ose means sugar, -ase means enzyme (meant to break down that sugar), -ation means action (meaning 'make milk), and, technically, lactic by definition means 'relating to milk'. but nooo. lactic acid has nothing to do with milk

[Whoa. As you can see, that mold has grown and you can smell the lactic acid. Seemed to hear the sound of quiet calling from an open door. Now they're gonna dry for about 30 days. Oh, my gosh!]

i never bothered to post anything here before now, but this cannot wait.

*rams desk* LACTIC ACID.

THIS FUCKER

called THIS (and i hope this is the right diagram. Might not be i’m too mad to double check)

LACTIC ACID.

LACTIC. FUCKING ACID.

Now, I won’t say I blame him. After discovering it from its presence in sour milk, it makes PERFECT sense to name it after milk.

But now... Ohhhh, now we know. Now we know that it is the chemical in the MUSCLES responsible for ENABLING ANAEROBIC METABOLISM of GLUCOSE. It has NO CONNECTION to ANY OF THE OTHER “LACT” PROCESSES OR CHEMICALS. IT IS NOT LACTOSE. IT IS NOT LACTATION. YET WE CONTINUE TO CALL IT LACTATE. LACTATE! WHY?? WHY WOULD WE CONTINUE THIS FARCE? THIS ATROCITY?

I am dedicating my LIFE to becoming a well-respected and world-renowned scientist in this field. I’m gonna GO TO COLLEGE. I’m gonna CHANGE THE WORLD. And when the time comes that I have created a solution to some great problem, and the world begs me to provide it... I will deliver my ultimatum. Rename. Lactic. Acid.
