The OrdinaryLactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 1 oz/30 mL has been a game-changer in my skincare routine, offering gentle yet effective exfoliation and hydration.What sets this product apart is its formulation: the 5% lactic acid concentration provides a mild exfoliation that helps to improve skin texture and tone without causing irritation. Lactic acid is known for its ability to gently slough off dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin underneath.The addition of hyaluronic acid (HA) further enhances its benefits by attracting and retaining moisture, keeping my skin hydrated and plump after exfoliation. This combination makes it suitable for those with dry or dehydrated skin looking to improve overall skin health.I've noticed visible improvements in the appearance of my skin since incorporating this product into my routine. My complexion appears more even, with reduced dullness and fewer texture issues over time.The packaging is practical and hygienic, with a dropper that dispenses the perfect amount of product. It's also fragrance-free, which is ideal for sensitive skin types.While it's important to start slowly with exfoliating products to avoid over-exfoliation, I've experienced no adverse reactions with this formula.Overall, The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA is a fantastic option for anyone seeking a gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment that delivers noticeable results. It's affordable, easy to incorporate into a skincare regimen, and backed by The Ordinary's commitment to simplicity and transparency in skincare.

It really works for me. 5% is the strength that my skin needs. I tried the 2% salicylic acid, though from a different brand, and it broke me out. This product effectively exfoliates without leaving my skin dry and irritated.

Recently learned about Lactic peel from my expensive facial. I always struggles with redness and acnes. Lactic peels solutions helps my skin feels brighter, less red, and exfoliated. This one is gentle enough too. Love.

Did the ordinary raise their prices? This product is good and it works if used consistently.

Love this latic acid. It's gentle yet effective and at its price point, it's 5 stars 🌟. Use it on damp skin and follow the directions. If you aren't used to exfoliaters like this- start at once or 2xs a week. I use it 3xs sometimes 4xs a week usually in the winter I use it more. Depending on how my skin is that week. I even use this woth retinol. Only bc I'm used to it. Don't do this if you,never used retinol or haven't built up the tolerance. I looked it up, you can do this only if it's a gentle latic acid and your skin,has built up a tolerance for both retinol and this. I use the latic acid and retinol only once* a week together** That's it! I see people spending so much on latic acid when I think it's better spend on your retinol/vitamin c or a good moisturizer/ eye cream. Don't mix with other aha/bha obviously or retinol (only if you built up a tolerance you can use together once a week) use this after your toner and or essence. After the latic acid use something that's hydrating like: ceramide serum like coco kind - panthenol serum from some by mi- Vichy 89- the purito centella serum - cosrx propolis serum- naturium barrier support serum-( i think thats what the name is) these are some of what I use after the latic acid to protect and hydrate my skin barrier, then top it with a hydrating moisturizer. You'll have the most plump and glowy skin in the morning. It's insane how it helps with texture, it exfoliates while leaving your skin so soft and no bad reactions since latic acid is the gentlest of acids✨️🌟✨️🌟✨️

Excellent product that I use in my morning routine. Has helped with 55+ year old skin and I can tell when I'm out.

I will update this as I go forward, but these are my first impressions. It certainly is not an overnight wonder, which I didn’t expect, but several reviews so stated. I thought I would get that out of the way. I have only used it twice. It is easy to apply, dries quickly and I follow up with a moisturizer. The next day my skin looks pretty awful. The day after that it looks normal again. I always use sun screen 50, so I’m following the rules. We’ll see what happens as time goes by. Over and out.

LOVE this so far! I use it every other night/ 3x a week.
