## Overview

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2% is a gentle exfoliating serum designed to smooth skin texture and brighten complexion. Featuring a balanced pH formula with 5% lactic acid for effective yet mild exfoliation, it is enhanced with hydrating 2% hyaluronic acid and soothing Tasmanian Pepperberry extract, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin types. Lightweight and fragrance-free, this water-based serum fits seamlessly into your nightly skincare routine to reveal visibly smoother, more radiant skin.

## 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: Feels like nothing but really is something - This stuff has made a difference in the feel (texture) & appearance (more even tone, lighter dark spots) of my face. I have to say I'm a bit surprised because the first time I used it I thought "Wow this stuff is just like water!" It is the consistency of water, not like most serums and it doesn't have much of a smell plus there is no tingling or burning of any kind. So it actually does feel like you're putting water on your face. I evenade a point to save the box because I thought for sure I'd be sending this stuff back. But I used it for about a week and my face definitely felt smoother and softer, then today after another of twice daily use I noticed while looking in the mirror that my skin tone is much more even and my dark spots have faded a bit. I was surprised, this is the only thing I have changed in my skin care routine so this has to be it. I definitely recommend you give it a try, it's definitely a great deal. **UPDATE: I just changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I have used this for 2 months now , I just ordered more. It might last longer for some because I do use it before moisturizer both morning and night(the directions do say once a day tho.) I'm not sure if I mentioned in the first part of my review but I literally cannot count the number of AHA peels and serums that I have tried over several years. This one is refered to as a peel but you do not actually have to take it off once applied. So my update is because this is the BEST AHA formula that I have ever used and what's also great about it is that it is also the most AFFORDABLE one it completely transforms the texture of your face making it incredibly smooth. When I bought it I really didn't expect it to be so great at this price point. I can't say how much I highly recommend this!!!
Review: The Ordinary's Lactic Acid Serum Is Anything But Ordinary! - This is good stuff. It is light, and there's no stinging or burning. It almost feels too lightweight going on, but don't be fooled. It is doing exactly what you want it to do. My skin looks brighter and feels way less dry. I just ordered my second bottle and will buy it again. It's the best exfoliating serum I have used.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price - Great product
*by M***E on January 10, 2026*

I am new to using this product.. but so far I love it! Leaves skin nice and smooth. It didn’t dry out my skin too much. So far I have only used 3 times… once every few days at night. Leave on overnight. I will be purchasing more in the future. Great price!
