The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. Enter: the Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Superficial Peeling Formulation (30ml), a lightweight serum that offers mild exfoliation to help even the appearance of skin tone and texture.
Wave goodbye to pigmentation and uneven texture with the Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Superficial Peeling Formulation (30ml) from The Ordinary.
Offering gentle yet effective exfoliation with 10% lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid), this lightweight serum reduces pigmentation, minimises fine lines and wrinkles and improves overall skin texture. It's also bursting with Tasmanian pepperberry to reduce signs of inflammation and soothe any redness sometimes caused by exfoliation. Oh, and there's more... it's enhanced with nourishing hyaluronic acid to not only lock in moisture, but retain it too.

Helped with scarring & acne
I've been using this for a bit over a week now, and have noticed a huge difference in my skin. My acne is now under control and old acne scars have faded heaps! The product itself is really lovely. I find it quite gentle, despite it being the stronger of the lactic acid products from The Ordinary. I'm really enjoying using it and now consider myself a convert to The Ordinary products!

Good for acne
This product helps with cystic acne (nothing else has helped me). It is very gentle and not irritating on my skin. It has given my skin a healthy glow and helps my skin stay moisturised. I really like it and I will be repurchasing again.

Good
I found this to be quite moisturising especially after accidentally burning my skin with Salicyclic acid. It has definitely helped soothe my damaged skin. The only thing I disliked was that it caused my skin to break out in a few spots

Great
I love this stuff so much, never made my skin burn or irritate & the next day I have an incredibly lovely soft “new” feeling to my face which is nice. Only thing I did notice is I put this on one night before I was going out shopping in the summertime and I did notice a slight burn whenever the light hit me directly but that is a precaution on the bottle. Highly recommend.

I like it
I like it more then the Glycolic acid (which I won't repurchase). It's milder and my skin feels better after using it.

Lovely exfoliant
One of the first products from The Ordinary I tried. Such a great chemical exfoliant. Wake up to softer and clearer looking skin.

Exfoliating dry skin
I use this bi weekly overnight as I have dry/menopausal/eczema prone skin. Other nights I use the glycolic toner or my retinol serum, but never more than one a night. All my other products are moisturising/hydrating. This gives a good surface exfoliation on flakey skin etc whilst still being fairly gentle. I use a lot of oils/balms to treat dryness as well as a daily mineral spf. At these prices it's definitely worth a try.

Great Product
Love this stuff. I never usually purchase a skin product again when the bottles finishes if I don't see results, but I will deffo be re-purchasing this. It has brightened my face and lightened my dark spots. I could see a difference in the first two weeks.

Not sure...
Bought this product because of the reviews.It's been a year now that I have those tiny bumps on my cheeks, that if messed with, turn into massive red internal pimples. I'm new to skin care, so this is pretty much all I've been using for the past 2 months. I did experience skin purging and the redness got worse, but I read online that I should give it 6-8 weeks to work.I did and I saw some minor improvement, with my skin feeling smooth and less irritated. I stopped using it though, after I read an article that said, it's wrong to use such an acid in your early 20's. Wish I could give it more time. I'll look for something milder instead...
