The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 30ml

A high-strength alpha hydroxy acid exfoliating serum formulated at 10% lactic acid with added hyaluronic acid and a calming botanical derivative to support skin tolerance.

Texture: Lightweight, slightly viscous serum

Finish: Smooth and refined after rinsing or absorption

Hydration: Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer helps maintain surface moisture during exfoliation

Target: Uneven skin tone, rough texture, and dull complexion

Proof: pH of approximately 3.8 — matched to lactic acid's pKa for optimized efficacy and reduced irritation

Best for: Normal, oily, or combination skin; not suitable for sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin

Key Ingredients

• Lactic Acid (10% AHA) — helps exfoliate dead surface cells to support smoother texture and a more even-looking complexion
• Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer — supports surface-level hydration to help counterbalance the drying effects of exfoliation
• Tasmannia Lanceolata (Tasmanian Pepperberry) Fruit/Leaf Extract — helps reduce the appearance of redness and sensitivity commonly associated with acid use
• Glycerin — draws moisture to the skin and helps maintain a comfortable moisture balance

How to Use

1. Patch test before first use.

2. Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin once daily, preferably in the evening.

3. If sensitivity occurs, dilute by layering over another serum or moisturizer to build tolerance gradually.

4. Avoid the eye area.

5. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF the next morning — AHAs can increase sun sensitivity during use and for one week after.

6. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

7. Use only on unbroken skin. Keep out of reach of children.
