  • Gentle exfoliation
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It really works for me. 5% is the strength that my skin needs. I tried the 2% salicylic acid, though from a different brand, and it broke me out. This product effectively exfoliates without leaving my skin dry and irritated.

Excellent product that I use in my morning routine. Has helped with 55+ year old skin and I can tell when I'm out.

  • Glowing Skin Achieved
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently tried The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, and I have to say, it definitely deserves a solid four-star rating! This gentle exfoliating serum has really transformed my skin, giving it an incredible glow that I love. After using it consistently, my skin feels smoother, and I've noticed a more even texture overall. However, I do have a couple of minor concerns. The formula is quite watery, which makes it a bit tricky to work with; I find that I need to apply it quickly to avoid it sliding around on my skin. It’s not a major issue, but I prefer serums that are a bit thicker for easier application. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to achieve that coveted glowy skin. Just be prepared to move fast when applying! ... show more

  • Too strong for me
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I thought I’d give this product a try. I have very dry elbows and I wanted to get rid some of the dark flake you skin on them. The first time I used it my skin started to burn. I do have very sensitive skin. I probably won’t buy it again but for younger skin it might be just the trick to get rid of dead skin cells that cause clogged pores. It’s just not for me. ... show more
