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 5% + 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 5% + 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.

Not sure
I’m not really sure about this one. I don’t think it did much for my skin.

Good but,
Really good for my dark skin but went brown quite quickly and I was too chicken to keep using it after that so…

The only AHA I use
I have sensitive skin and most AHA products on the market are just too harsh for me. This one with 5% lactic acid though works on me. I experienced a tiny bit redness upon application but dies down pretty quickly. Then I'd wake up with smoother feeling skin. I'd recommend night time use only with a soothing moisturiser after for sensitive skin people like me.
