high-strength alpha hydroxy acid -30mL

The Vibe: Gentle Resurfacing, Hydrating, and Brightening Transform dullness into a smooth, radiant glow without the harsh irritation. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA is a high-strength alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peeling serum designed to gently re-texturize the surface of your skin. Because lactic acid is a larger molecule than other acids (like glycolic acid), it penetrates the skin more slowly, offering a much gentler, superficial exfoliation. Perfect for dry, normal, or combination skin types, this serum sweeps away dead skin cells to target uneven tone, fine lines, and rough texture while keeping your skin barrier thoroughly hydrated.
🧪 The Science & Key Ingredients
This formulation beautifully balances effective chemical exfoliation with deep surface hydration and soothing botanicals:
10% Lactic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that breaks the bonds between dead skin cells, encouraging natural cell turnover to reveal brighter, smoother, and more even skin underneath.
Purified Tasmanian Pepperberry: A specialized botanical extract included to significantly reduce the signs of inflammation, redness, and skin sensitivity often triggered by acid exfoliation.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Crosspolymer: A modified form of hyaluronic acid that draws moisture deep into the surface of the skin, plumping the complexion and preventing the dryness or tightness common with chemical peels.
✨ Why It’s a Skincare Staple
The "Glow" Serum: Visibly improves skin radiance and dramatically softens rough, bumpy skin texture with regular use.
Hydration-First Exfoliation: Unlike drying acne treatments, lactic acid is a natural humectant, meaning it actively helps your skin hold onto moisture while it exfoliates.
Clean & Lightweight: A water-based, oil-free, and silicone-free fluid that absorbs instantly into the skin. It is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.
🎨 Note on Appearance: Due to the natural variations in the Tasmanian Pepperberry extract, the color of this serum can range seasonally from a pale yellow to a soft, clear pink. This color shift is entirely normal and does not affect the potency or safety of the formula.
How to Use & Routine Placement
To get the best results while keeping your skin barrier safe, integrate this serum carefully into your evening regimen:
When: Apply exclusively in the evening (PM routine) to a thoroughly cleansed face.
Application: Smooth a few drops over your face, completely avoiding the delicate eye area and contact with the eyes.
Placement: Use during your "Treat" stage—apply after washing your face, but before heavy moisturizers, suspensions, or face oils.
Frequency: Start by using it 2 to 3 times a week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually build up to nightly use. (If your skin is highly sensitive, you can dilute this serum in your favorite moisturizer to reduce its strength while your skin acclimates).
⚠️ Sunburn Alert: AHAs increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV rays. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day while using this product and for one week after discontinuing use. Do not use on peeling, broken, or compromised skin.
Routine Conflicts: Do not mix or layer in the same routine with other direct acids (glycolic, salicylic), retinoids, strong Vitamin C, or EUK 134 0.1%.
