High-strength lactic acid serum
Discover a gentler approach to skin renewal with this lightweight exfoliating serum from The Ordinary. Powered by 5% lactic acid, an effective alpha hydroxy acid, it works to refine texture and fade uneven tone and discolouration for a visibly brighter complexion. The formula is thoughtfully balanced with 2% hyaluronic acid to quench skin with hydration, while a soothing Tasmanian pepperberry extract calms potential irritation. Perfect for those seeking noticeable results without harsh treatment, this serum transforms dull, congested skin into a smoother, more luminous canvas.
