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.

Mild moisturising exfoliant
Oily/combo skin Using for acne scarring Didn't break out, and as someone used to retinoids and AHA/BHAs, makes a for a sensitive exfoliant that hydrates. Used in mornings, good for pH balancing.

AHA virgin who now uses it daily!
This is amazing!!! My skin is GLOWING every morning after I use this. I initially started using this 6 months ago and started slowly, just twice a week and I would always feel the tingle. I used three drops, max! Now I have increased it to nightly and use about 4 drops but a little really does go a long way. Make sure your face is dry before applying and make it the first thing you put on then continue with your routine. You will not be disappointed and I am convinced that my skin isn’t as dry because of this.

Brilliant
When my foundation was beginning to look cakey I watched a you tube video that suggested regular exfoliation to get rid of the issue. My skin can’t handle glycolic acid so I purchased this lactic acid and use it daily in the morning - no more cakey makeup and my skin is brighter too.

Great for sensitive skin
I can be quite sensitive and it does burn or anything. Because it’s not as harsh it doesn’t seem to make as much of a difference with acne as some other acids but it’s non drying which is great.
