The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml
Gentle Exfoliation & Hydration with The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml is a gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment designed to refine skin texture, brighten complexion, and boost hydration. As part of The Ordinary’s advanced acid formulations, this serum combines 5% lactic acid—a mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA)—with purified Tasmanian pepperberry extract to reduce inflammation and irritation.
Infused with hyaluronic acid (HA), the formula not only removes dead skin cells but also helps retain skin moisture, making it especially suitable for dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin types. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml is the perfect introductory chemical exfoliant for those seeking smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin without harsh peeling or irritation.
This serum works best as a part of your nighttime skincare routine, gradually renewing your skin’s surface for a fresh, youthful appearance.
