Description
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% is a mild chemical exfoliant formulated to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), known for its gentle exfoliating properties, along with hyaluronic acid (HA) for hydration.
Key Ingredients:
- Lactic Acid (5%): Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk. It works by exfoliating the skin’s surface, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This process can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even out skin tone.
- Hyaluronic Acid (2%): Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, providing hydration and plumping effects. It helps counteract the potential drying effects of lactic acid and ensures the skin remains well-hydrated during exfoliation.
How to Use:
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities from the skin’s surface. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply the Serum: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck using upward motions. Be cautious and avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Let the serum absorb into your skin for a few minutes before applying any additional skincare products. Lactic acid serums are typically lightweight and absorb quickly.
- Follow with Moisturizer: After the serum has been absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and further nourish the skin. This step is crucial, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
- Sun Protection: As with any exfoliating product, it’s essential to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the daytime to protect your skin from UV damage. This step helps prevent sunburn and maintains the results of your exfoliation.
