The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% Face serum 30ml

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% Face Serum is a gentle exfoliating serum formulated to promote skin renewal and improve the appearance of texture and radiance. As part of The Ordinary's commitment to effective and targeted skincare solutions, this serum focuses on offering mild exfoliation suitable for a range of skin types, especially those with sensitive skin.

Key Ingredient:

• Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk. It works as a chemical exfoliant by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, facilitating their removal. Lactic acid helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance skin radiance.

Product Benefits:

1. Gentle Exfoliation: Lactic acid exfoliates the skin's surface, helping to remove the buildup of dead skin cells and promoting a smoother complexion without the potential irritation associated with stronger exfoliants.
2. Improved Texture: Regular use of the serum can lead to a softer and more even skin texture, as the exfoliation encourages the shedding of old skin cells and stimulates cell turnover.
3. Brighter Complexion: By removing dull and dead skin cells, the serum can reveal a brighter and more radiant complexion underneath.
4. Fine Line Reduction: Lactic acid's exfoliating properties can help diminish the appearance of fine lines over time, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful.
5. Hydration Retention: Lactic acid has the added benefit of attracting moisture to the skin, helping to maintain hydration levels and improving the overall look and feel of the skin.

Usage:

• The serum is usually recommended for use in the evening.
• After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to your face, avoiding the eye area.
• If you're new to lactic acid or AHAs, it's advisable to start with a patch test and gradually introduce the serum into your routine.
• Follow up with a moisturizer to maintain hydration.
• Since AHAs like lactic acid can increase sun sensitivity, using sunscreen during the day is essential.
