The Ordinary

Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid that exfoliates the skin. This 5% formulation offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.

How to Use

Apply once per day, ideally in the PM
Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance
Avoid contact with eyes
If irritation persists, discontinue use
(Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn
Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards
