The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% 30ml

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% (30mL / 1 fl. oz) – Authentic Canadian Import

Transform skin texture and reveal a luminous, radiant complexion with authentic The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% (30mL / 1 fl. oz). Directly imported from Canada, this high-potency water-based exfoliating serum utilizes Lactic Acid—an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA)—to deliver gentle, superficial resurfacing that removes dead skin cells, targets uneven tone, and smooths rough, bumpy texture.

Superficial Resurfacing & Soothing Science

Unlike harsher chemical exfoliants that can disrupt the skin barrier, Lactic Acid has a larger molecular size, allowing for effective surface-level peeling with reduced potential for irritation:

10% Lactic Acid (AHA): Delivers high-strength surface exfoliation to break down dead skin cell bonds, refine fine lines, and smooth uneven, bumpy texture.

Tasmanian Pepperberry Redness Buffer: Infused with a purified Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, clinically studied to calm inflammation, soothe chemical stress, and minimize redness commonly associated with acid exfoliation.

2% Hyaluronic Acid Crosspolymer: Features an advanced moisture-binding matrix that draws hydration into multi-depth layers of the skin during exfoliation to prevent post-peel dryness and maintain a plump, comfortable feel.

Optimized pH Balance (~3.8): Formulated with an optimal pH between 3.6 and 4.0 to ensure ideal acid efficacy while minimizing skin stress and irritation.

Key Performance Benefits & Radiant Care

Gently Smooths Rough Texture: Refines bumpy areas, surface dry patches, and fine lines for a softer, velvety feel.

Brightens & Evens Skin Tone: Clears away dull dead cells to reveal a fresher, more luminous complexion.

Multi-Depth Hydration: Hyaluronic Acid prevents tightness and keeps skin plump and moisturized.

Clean Clinical Standards: 100% Vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without oil, silicone, alcohol, gluten, or synthetic fragrance.

100% Authentic Canadian Import: Packaged in a classic 30mL glass dropper bottle under strict clinical quality control standards.

Clean Care & Compatibility Standards

Suitable Skin Types: Ideal for dry, normal, and combination skin types seeking surface resurfacing (a gentler, more hydrating alternative for those who find Glycolic Acid too intense).

Precautions: Do not use on sensitive, peeling, compromised, or broken skin barriers. Avoid combining with direct acids, retinoids, or direct Vitamin C in the same routine.

How to Use

Step 1 (Cleanse & Dry): Cleanse face thoroughly and pat completely dry.

Step 2 (Apply Serum): Apply once daily, ideally in the evening. Smooth a few drops evenly across the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour and contact with eyes.

Pro Tip: For beginners or sensitive skin, this product can be diluted with other hydrating water-based serums (such as Hyaluronic Acid) to reduce strength until your skin builds tolerance.

Step 3 (Layer Hydration): Allow 1 to 2 minutes to absorb before following with heavier treatments, oils, or moisturizers.

Sunburn Alert: This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily during use and for a week after discontinuing.
