The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% is a powerful yet gentle exfoliating serum designed to enhance skin texture, radiance, and overall clarity. Formulated with 10% lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), this serum works by removing dead skin cells from the surface, revealing a brighter and more even complexion. The addition of hyaluronic acid (HA) in this formulation helps keep the skin hydrated, balancing the exfoliating effects of the lactic acid to avoid irritation.

Benefits of The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2%

1. Exfoliates and Brightens: Lactic acid gently sloughs away dead skin cells, improving skin texture and promoting a more radiant appearance. With consistent use, this serum reveals brighter, more even-toned skin.
2. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating cell turnover, lactic acid helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, making skin appear smoother and more youthful.
3. Improves Skin Tone and Texture: Lactic acid effectively targets uneven skin tone, rough patches, and dullness. Over time, it helps to refine and clarify the skin's appearance, leaving it soft and supple.
4. Hydrates and Soothes with Hyaluronic Acid: The hyaluronic acid in the serum draws moisture into the skin, reducing any potential dryness or irritation from the exfoliating action. This makes the product gentle enough for regular use while keeping skin plump and hydrated.
5. Ideal for Sensitive Skin: Compared to other AHAs, lactic acid is known to be milder and less likely to irritate sensitive skin. This formulation makes it accessible for those who want effective exfoliation without harsh side effects.

How to Use The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2%?

1. Apply at Night: After cleansing, apply a few drops to the face in the evening. Avoid using it on damp skin, as this can increase the likelihood of irritation.
2. Follow with a Moisturizer: Allow the serum to absorb fully before following with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture and maintain skin balance.
3. Use Sunscreen During the Day: Lactic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, so it’s essential to wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using this product.
4. Patch Test First: If new to acids or lactic acid, do a patch test on a small area of skin first to ensure compatibility.
