Serum for effective surface exfoliation with a reduced risk of irritation
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA exfoliating serum helps smooth the rough texture on the surface of skin. It acts with exceptionally high intensity, but thanks to added hyaluronic acid and Tasmanian pepperberry extract, and the fact that pKa and pH values are in balance, the risk of irritation is minimised. This water-based serum is particularly ideal for dry skin types.

How to use:
Apply The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA smoothing exfoliating serum once a day, ideally in the evening, to your cleansed skin before applying hydrating serums, oils and creams. Smooth over your entire face, avoiding your eye contours and contact with your eyes. If a strong tingling or stinging sensation occurs after application, you can dilute the serum by mixing it with other skincare products to reduce lactic acid intensity until skin tolerance increases.
If irritation occurs, rinse off immediately, cease use and consult a doctor. Do not apply to peeling, sensitive or broken skin. Perform a patch test before initial use. Do not use alongside skincare products containing peptides, pure vitamin C, pure acids, retinoids, EUK or niacinamide powder.
Notino tip:
The serum contains AHA acid, which increases skin sensitivity to the sun – thus increasing the likelihood of sunburn after application. Apply skincare products with high SPF while using the serum and for a week afterwards.
