The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10%+ HA

What it is:A high-strength, water-based exfoliator that works to reveal smoother skin.

What it does: It contains a 10% concentration of lactic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). AHAs are known for their ability to exfoliate the skin's surface, helping to remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote a brighter and more even complexion. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid (HA) in this product helps to hydrate and soothe the skin, counteracting potential dryness or irritation that can sometimes occur with exfoliating acids. This combination makes it suitable for those looking to address concerns related to uneven skin tone, dullness, and fine lines through chemical exfoliation.

Main Ingredients

✔️ Lactic Acid (10%): Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk. It functions as a chemical exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote a brighter complexion.

✔️ Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Hyaluronic acid is a potent hydrating ingredient that attracts and retains moisture, ensuring the skin remains well-hydrated and comfortable during exfoliation.

Together, these ingredients work to exfoliate and hydrate the skin, leading to a smoother, more radiant complexion while minimizing potential irritation often associated with AHAs.

How To Use

Simply apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening. Avoid the eye area and any broken or sensitive skin.

It's important to note that this product contains an exfoliating acid, so it's recommended to use it no more than once per day. If you're new to acids, consider starting with 2-3 times per week and gradually increasing frequency as your skin becomes accustomed.

Always follow with a sunscreen during the day when using this product, as AHAs can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Enjoy smoother and brighter skin with regular use!
