Description: The Ordinary's "Lactic Acid 5% + HA" is a mild exfoliating serum designed to improve skin texture, radiance, and clarity through gentle exfoliation.
Key Ingredients:
- Lactic Acid (5%): An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, promoting a smoother and brighter complexion.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Provides hydration, helps the skin retain moisture, and reduces potential irritation from lactic acid.
Benefits:
- Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and more even skin tone.
- Improved Texture: Smooths the skin surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture.
- Hydration: Hyaluronic acid ensures the skin remains hydrated and plump.
- Radiance: Regular use enhances skin glow and clarity.
Application:
- How to Use: Apply once daily, preferably in the evening. After cleansing, apply a few drops to the face and follow with a moisturizer.
- Sun Protection: AHAs can increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen during the day.
Considerations:
- Patch Test: Perform a patch test before first use to check for sensitivities.
- Skin Sensitivity: If irritation occurs, reduce usage frequency or discontinue use.
- Sun Sensitivity: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect against increased UV sensitivity.
