The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin

i’m actually using this twice a week on my body to fade some scars. it’s a great intensive treatment for this, but it isn’t irritating at all. despite coming in a tiny bottle (because it’s meant to be used on the face), it has lasted me almost 4 months! and the price, it goes without saying, is AMAZING. an awesome value!

I started using this product looking for a gentle exfoliator, and I really like it. It’s mild on the skin, didn’t cause irritation, and leaves my skin feeling smoother after just a few uses. I like that it doesn’t dry out my skin, and the next day my face looks brighter and more even. I’ve been using it at night and noticed an overall improvement in texture. Great option if you’re new to acids and want something not too strong. I have sensitive skin and this worked well for me. I would repurchase.

I have mature skin (in my 60's) and have started experimenting with some of the Ordinary acids. I'm using this gently on the south side of my eye bags where I have discoloration and what I think might be the beginning of milia, noticing spots but they are not raised yet. I've been using this daily for about 3 weeks and the milia spots have given way to cleaner brighter skin and the discoloration of the circles around my bags have faded. I opted for the milder 5% lactic acid as I have sensitive skin, but also that I would be applying it gingerly under my eyes (disclaimer--check with your dermatologist or PCP first!). I have bags and the contouring dark circle underneath gives me enough room to stay aways from the eyelids and more sensitive areas. I also apply with a q-tip to better control any liquid that wants to run.

Overall good, it works but it makes ur face sticky 😂

Due to the regular use of oil on my facial skin, I was experiencing ingrown hair on my chin/upper lip area. My skin specialist recommend me to start using lactic acid followed by a moisturizer ( I use Lancer Skincare Ultra Rich Barrier Cream). I started using this lactic acid from Ordinary twice a week (which is ideal if you're new to this product) on the affected region and it had significantly reduced the ingrown hair on my chin/upperlips. What this does is that it removes dead skin cells that usually block the hair follicles and helps prevent keratosis pilaris (the bumpy skin) and ingrown hairs. This product also has anti aging properties and keeps my skin hydrated. I also like how this provides gentle exfoliation and can help reduce the hyperpigmentation. For reference - I am a 40 yrs old woman with normal skin type. Typically, I prefer to use this in the evenings as that is the best time to use lactic acid and I avoid wearing Retinol or Vitamin C in the same application. But I always follow up with a hydrating moisturizer. Hope this helps!

I’ve been using The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA a few nights a week, and it’s made such a difference in my skin’s texture. It gives a light tingle at first but nothing harsh. After a couple nights, my skin looked smoother and more even, especially around dry or dull spots. I love that it’s budget-friendly yet performs like high-end exfoliants. I always follow with moisturizer and SPF the next morning — and my skin has a soft, healthy glow I didn’t have before. 🌸 Honest note: This is a mild AHA, so if you’re new to acids, this is a great starting point.

This serum is incredible. It gives my skin such a healthy glow and smooth texture without any irritation. I’ve been using it a few times a week, and I can already see a huge difference — my skin feels softer, looks brighter, and has that natural, dewy finish that I love. The lactic acid gently exfoliates while the hyaluronic acid keeps everything hydrated, so my skin never feels dry or tight afterward. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers perfectly under moisturizer or makeup. I love waking up to that soft, refreshed feeling in the morning. It’s the perfect product for when my skin looks dull or tired. This little bottle makes me feel like I just had a facial. If you want radiant, smooth, and even-toned skin without harsh ingredients, this is definitely a must-have. 💕

Great product to start. Glycolic acid was too much for my skin, tried this and has worked great with no irritation
