Product Summary
The Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2% serum by The Ordinary is a chemical exfoliant designed to improve skin appearance. This formula combines 5% lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), with 2% hyaluronic acid, a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture. The lactic acid works by dissolving the bonds holding dead skin cells together, which helps reveal smoother skin and improves texture by softening rough patches. Additionally, it assists in lightening dark spots and uneven skin tone. The hyaluronic acid component helps plump the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines. To use, apply a few drops to clean skin on the face and neck once daily, preferably at night, and allow it to dry before applying moisturizer. It is recommended to start with a small amount and avoid use on sensitive or irritated skin.
