Lactacyd is a feminine wash that contains Lactoserum and Lactic acid. Lactoserum is a milky liquid which is rich in nutrients and functions as a prebiotic, a food that supports growth of gut bacteria. Lactic acid, on the other hand, is used to moisturize and soothe the skin. Both ingredients are used to provide good natural defenses to infection, cleanse and deodorize the intimate area to prevent dryness and discomfort.
Lactacyd is used externally as liquid soap. Shake well and pour a thumb-size amount (~5ml) onto your hand and clean the external vaginal area. Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended for everyday use.
Lactacyd is generally very safe and does not cause any side effects.
