Description
THE ORDINARY Lactic Acid 10% + HA Serum 30ml – Exfoliating & Hydrating | BuyBetter Nigeria
Ready to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin — all without harsh scrubs or aggressive peels? Meet The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA, your new go-to exfoliating serum that gently dissolves dead skin cells and restores your skin’s natural radiance. Whether you’re battling dullness, uneven texture, breakouts, or early signs of aging, this serum is your ticket to a fresh-faced glow.
What is Lactic Acid & Why It Works
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk (though The Ordinary’s formula is vegan, of course). It’s known for its mild exfoliating powers, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of your skin and encouraging faster cell turnover.
What sets lactic acid apart from other AHAs like glycolic acid is its larger molecular structure, which means it penetrates more slowly and gently — making it a better option for those with sensitive skin or new to chemical exfoliants.
In this formula, The Ordinary combines 10% lactic acid with hyaluronic acid (HA) for hydration and Tasmanian pepperberry extract, which helps reduce inflammation and sensitivity, creating a well-balanced exfoliating experience your skin will love.
What It Does for Your Skin
This multitasking serum goes beyond just exfoliation. Here’s how it benefits your skin:
✨ Refines Skin Texture – Say goodbye to rough patches, bumpy areas, or those tiny under-the-skin breakouts. Lactic acid gently smooths the skin’s surface for a softer feel and more even texture.
✨ Brightens Dull Complexion – Dullness? Gone. Uneven tone? Handled. This serum reveals a more luminous, radiant complexion with every use.
✨ Fades Dark Spots & Post-Acne Scarring – Over time, consistent use can fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone by encouraging skin renewal.
✨ Reduces Fine Lines & Early Signs of Aging – By stimulating cell turnover, it helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and gives your skin a plumper, youthful bounce.
✨ Clears Congestion & Breakouts – Lactic acid helps decongest pores and reduce clogged sebum that causes whiteheads and blackheads — making it a great choice for acne-prone skin types.
✨ Deeply Hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid – The addition of HA ensures your skin stays plump and hydrated, minimizing the dryness that sometimes comes with exfoliation.
How to Use
For best results and happy skin, follow these steps:
-
Cleanse your face thoroughly.
-
Apply a few drops of The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA to dry skin in the evening. Avoid the eye area.
-
Follow up with a moisturizer and sunscreen the next day, as AHAs increase sun sensitivity.
💡 Frequency: Start with 2–3 times per week, especially if you’re new to acids, and gradually increase based on your skin’s tolerance.
💡 Pro Tip: You may experience mild tingling upon application — this is normal. If the sensation is too strong, you can dilute the product with another serum or moisturizer until your skin builds tolerance.
❗ Avoid using with products containing retinoids, pure vitamin C, or other direct acids to prevent irritation.
