Powered by 5% lactic acid and supported by 2% hyaluronic acid for hydration, plus anti-irritant Tasmanian Pepperberry extract, this water-based formula is ideal for dry and sensitive skin. Best used nightly with sunscreen protection, it delivers gradual, visible improvements in skin clarity and softness. ## Description Product Description Lactic Acid 5% + HA is a mild alpha hydroxy acid solution that offers gentle yet effective exfoliation targeted at the skin’s surface. It is supported with purified Tasmanian pepperberry extract. This water-based serum is ideal for dry and sensitive skin. This pH of this formula is approximately 3.8. Lactic Acid has a pKa of 3.8 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an optimal balance between salt and acidity.

Review: Gentle exfoliant but takes consistency - The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA is a gentle exfoliating serum that’s perfect for beginners. It feels soothing on the skin and layers well into my routine. It smooths the skin and gives a subtle glow without being harsh. The lightweight texture makes it easy to apply. Results aren’t immediate, so consistency is key, but it effectively exfoliates. It’s a good option for those seeking a gentle exfoliant. Review: Gentle but genuinely effective for smoother skin - I like this because it gives me a noticeable improvement in skin texture without feeling too harsh. My skin looks smoother and clearer when I use it consistently, and it seems to help with that slightly uneven, dull texture that can build up over time. It’s not an overnight miracle product, but after a few uses my skin generally looks fresher and feels softer. The 5% strength is a good option if you want exfoliation but don’t want to go straight in with something very strong. I still treat it with respect and don’t overuse it, especially alongside other active ingredients, but compared with some exfoliating products I’ve tried, this feels quite manageable. You need to be careful of what other actives you use next to it as ultimately it is an exfoliator, and if you have things like azelaic acid or retinol in your routine then this may not be worth adding. But overall, it’s a really solid product for the price and one I keep coming back to when my skin needs a bit of smoothing and brightening. ## Features - GENTLE EXFOLIATION: A milder alpha hydroxy acid solution with 5% lactic acid that gently smooths skin texture and reveals a brighter complexion. - HYALURONIC ACID SUPPORT: Formulated with hyaluronic acid. - ANTI-IRRITANT: Enhanced with Tasmanian Pepperberry extract, a known anti-irritant. - PERFECT FOR DRY AND SENSITIVE SKIN: This water-based serum offers effective exfoliation while maintaining hydration, ideal for dry or sensitive skin types. - USE AT NIGHT: Apply once daily in the evening and use sunscreen the next day to protect your skin from sun sensitivity. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NA0F3FB | | Active Ingredients | Alpha Hydroxy | | Active ingredients | Alpha Hydroxy | | Benefits | Gently smooths skin texture and reveals a brighter complexion. | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,342 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 102 in Face Serums | | Brand | The Ordinary | | Brand Name | The Ordinary | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country Of Origin | Canada | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 7,584 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00769915190281, 00769915195842 | | Item Form | Serum | | Item Volume | 1 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 30 Grams | | Item form | Serum | | Manufacturer | DECIEM | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8213018003099 | | Material Features | Cruelty Free, Fragrance Free, Vegan | | Material Type Free | Aluminium Free, Coaltar Free, Paraben Free, Silicone Free, Sulphate Free | | Material feature | Cruelty Free, Fragrance Free, Vegan | | Model Number | 8213018003099 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product benefits | Gently smooths skin texture and reveals a brighter complexion. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Brightening, Clearing, Even Toning, Exfoliating, Smoothening | | Scent Name | Fragrance Free | | Size | 30 ml (Pack of 1) | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | All | | Skin type | All | | Special Features | Travel Size | | Special Ingredients | Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Lactic Acid | | Target Use Body Part | Face | | UPC | 769915195842 769915190281 | | Unit Count | 30.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Active ingredients:** Alpha Hydroxy - **Brand:** The Ordinary - **Item form:** Serum - **Item volume:** 1 Fluid Ounces - **Material Type Free:** Aluminium Free, Coaltar Free, Paraben Free, Silicone Free, Sulphate Free - **Material feature:** Cruelty Free, Fragrance Free, Vegan - **Number of items:** 1 - **Product benefits:** Gently smooths skin texture and reveals a brighter complexion. - **Skin type:** All - **Special feature:** Travel Size ## Images ![The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin, 30ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41o4LRgn+8L.jpg) ![The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin, 30ml - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516crHWVucL.jpg) ![The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin, 30ml - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zuKl7ZMNL.jpg) ![The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin, 30ml - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RkhC2-8UL.jpg) ![The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin, 30ml - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z-FxmjBIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this ok to put under eye area?** A: Yes, you can use this under your eyes. It even supposed to help with fine wrinkles as it has a moisturizing effect and locks in moisture. Do try though first on a small patch to avoid irritation. **Q: Can I use this for my under eye scars??** A: I use once a week under my eyes as I have sensitive under eyes. I don’t know what type of scar you have. I have a scar on my neck (as I had thyroid surgery) and I use on it. But I would say once and see how you feel. Hope that helps. **Q: At what point do you use this product in your routine, eg only once a week at night etc?** A: Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. (Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.) **Q: Will this help with hyperpigmentation/dark acne marks?** A: Hi this helps remove your dead skin cells and should be used with other serums - but c helps growth & repair and will reduce discolouration but not eradicate it ( quite sure for the gold standard removal and renew its lazer treatment) . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle exfoliant but takes consistency *by R***I on 5 May 2026* The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA is a gentle exfoliating serum that’s perfect for beginners.
