## Overview

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + Hyaluronic Acid 2% is a high-strength exfoliating serum designed to visibly smooth skin texture, even tone, and boost luminosity. Infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and soothing Tasmanian Pepperberry extract, this vegan, cruelty-free formula is perfect for sensitive skin and easy to integrate into any nighttime skincare routine.

## Description

Lactic Acid 10% + HA is an alpha hydroxy acid solution that offers effective exfoliation targeted at the skin’s surface. It is supported with purified Tasmanian pepperberry extract, a known anti-irritant. This water-based serum is ideal for dry skin types. 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: Self-Care secret for busy mom! - As a 40-something year old mom juggling kids, work, and everything in between, I don’t have time (or budget!) for complicated skincare routines. I wanted something simple, effective, and affordable—and the Ordinary Lactic Acid Serum has been a lifesaver. ✨ Gentle but Effective Exfoliation My skin can get a little dull and uneven, especially with stress and lack of sleep. This serum gives me that gentle chemical exfoliation I need without harsh scrubbing. After a couple of weeks, my skin looked smoother, brighter, and just healthier. 🌸 Great for Sensitive Skin I was nervous about acids since my skin can be reactive, but this formula is surprisingly gentle. I started every other night and worked up to nightly use. No stinging, no peeling—just a soft glow. 💲 Budget-Friendly & Simple As a mom, I appreciate that it’s affordable and doesn’t come with extra fluff. The packaging is straightforward, but the product delivers. I don’t feel guilty adding it into my routine. ⏱ Easy to Work Into a Routine After cleansing, I put a few drops on, let it sink in, then follow with a moisturizer. Done. It doesn’t take more than 30 seconds, and that’s exactly what I need in the chaos of mom-life. 🌟 Noticeable Results • Softer, smoother skin texture • Less flaky patches around my nose/chin • Makeup goes on more evenly • A subtle “glow” that makes me look more rested than I actually am! 💡 Mom-to-Mom Tip Don’t skip sunscreen in the morning! Any exfoliating serum makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. I learned the hard way. Overall, this serum feels like my little self-care secret. It’s simple, affordable, and it makes me feel a bit more put together—even on days when I’m running on coffee and dry shampoo.
Review: Ordinary is not ordinary - I bought this with three other serums to use in conjunction. The first serum I use is Chebula serum, Lactic Acid I only use at night. Hyaluronic Acid, Resveratrol, Matrixyl 10%. I got this formula from an esthetician . The first step is cleansing your face and then apply the serums letting each absorb. Then I apply a toner and moisturizer following with sunscreen. I have seen a really big difference in my skin. The ordinary products are so affordable this routine is doable. Do this a.m. and p.m. Except only using the lactic acid in the p.m.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will someone please take a pic of the ingredient's label and post it or just post the ingredients?**
A: Ingredients
Aqua (Water), Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Propanediol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol.

**Q: How would I incorporate this into my skincare routine if I use retinol (Differin) 2-3 times a week at night?**
A: I use the Lactic Acid 10% in my morning routine. I follow Angie from YouTube "HotandFlashy" and it has made an incredible difference to my skin.

AM Routine
Wash CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (with Wonder Cloth)
Apply Timeless Vitamin C 20%
Apply Lactic Acid 10%
Apply Timeless CoEnzymeQ10 Serum
Apply CeraVe PM Moisturizer Lotion
Apply Sunscreen Undefined R&R Sun Serum SPF 50 PA++++ or Australian Gold Botanical Tinted BB Sunscreen SPF 50

**Q: Can this be used with the ordinary Granactive retenoid %2 emulsion? If so how do you use them together?**
A: I would not use them together at the same time. Research and articles I've read state they may cancel each other out, therefore a waste of product. The retinols are not as effective on acidic skin. If you want to use both products, I would do the lactic acid in the morning routine and the retenoid at night. If you want to use them both at night, then I would alternate, making sure to leave at least one night free of both, to give your skin a chance to do its thing. Hope this helps.

**Q: Should the color of the liquid be clear or slightly yellow**
A: It mentions on the product’s packaging that it contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry (to help reduce irritation associated with the acid). Since it is of plant origin, there can be color variation depending on the season. Hope this helps :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The right acid for my sensitive skin
*by G***A on January 9, 2026*

Economical and works well. Start with the 5% if you’re new to acids but I use this maybe 3-4 times a month in addition to tretinoin (not at the same time) and it leaves skin smooth. Just use moisture after and SPF daily
