Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid by The Ordinary
The Lactic Acid 5% + HA solution from The Ordinary is an advanced skincare serum designed for gentle exfoliation and deep hydration. This effective formulation combines the benefits of an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with the powerful moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid, creating a multi-functional product that improves skin texture, evens tone, and enhances radiance.
Key Ingredients and Formulation
This product contains two primary ingredients that work synergistically to deliver noticeable results:
Lactic Acid 5%: A type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) naturally derived from milk, which gently exfoliates the skin's outer layer to remove dead cells and stimulate the regeneration of new cells.
Hyaluronic Acid: Multi-molecular weights of hyaluronic acid that provide deep hydration, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines by retaining moisture.
Benefits and Features
This serum offers a variety of benefits for the skin:
Gentle Exfoliation: Lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells from the surface without causing excessive irritation, making it suitable for many skin types.
Improved Skin Texture: It smooths rough texture and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, giving the skin a softer, clearer appearance.
Even Skin Tone: It helps diminish dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure or acne scars, leading to brighter, more even-toned skin.
Enhanced Hydration: Hyaluronic acid provides deep, long-lasting moisture, improving the skin's natural moisture barrier and reducing dryness.
Stimulated Cell Renewal: It encourages faster cell turnover, helping to maintain youthful, rejuvenated skin.
Usage Instructions and Recommendations
For optimal results, this product is recommended as part of an evening skincare routine:
Cleanse the face and neck thoroughly with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.
Pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
Apply a few drops of the serum to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Gently massage with fingertips until fully absorbed.
It can be used several times a week depending on skin tolerance, starting with twice weekly and gradually increasing frequency.
After use, it is important to apply sunscreen the following morning, as exfoliation can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Important Notes
This product is suitable for all skin types, including dry, normal, oily, and combination skin. However, a patch test on a small area is recommended before regular use, especially for those with sensitive skin. Avoid using it with other strong acid-based exfoliants simultaneously to prevent irritation. It can be combined with most other skincare products like moisturizers and oils, but it is advisable to wait a few minutes between layers for optimal absorption.
The product comes in a 30ml dark glass bottle to protect the active ingredients from light, ensuring the formulation's efficacy is maintained. The simple, practical packaging reflects The Ordinary's philosophy of delivering high-quality products at affordable prices, with a focus on active ingredients and tangible results.
