The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% Exfoliating Serum is a mild yet effective exfoliant designed to reveal smoother, more even skin. This water-based facial serum targets textural irregularities, dullness, and uneven skin tone, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin types. Formulated with 5% Lactic Acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid, it works to exfoliate the skin’s surface while promoting skin renewal. The addition of Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer ensures hydration, while Tasmanian pepperberry extract helps to reduce potential irritation and sensitivity, commonly associated with acid-based exfoliants. With a pH of approximately 3.8, the serum optimizes the balance between acid availability and effectiveness, ensuring a mild exfoliation without harshness. Free from alcohol, oils, silicones, gluten, and cruelty, this vegan serum is a safe and soothing option for those seeking smoother skin with minimal irritation.
