Good to know

  • Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid that exfoliates the skin.
  • The 10% formulation provides mild exfoliation.
  • It contains a purified Tasmanian pepperberry that reduces inflammation and sensitivity.
  • A milder 5% formula is also available.
  • The formula may have color variations due to the natural variation of the Tasmanian Pepperberry.
  • Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.
  • The formula has a pH of approximately 3.8.
  • The pKa of Lactic Acid is 3.8, which is important for formulating with acids.
  • Higher pH numbers would increase salt content, making the formula more irritating.
  • Indirect forms of skin exfoliation are generally suggested over direct acid exfoliation.

"This is quite a high strength so I wouldn't recommend for those with very sensitive skin or have never used chemical exfoliation before"
"This is going to be a skin care staple for me"
"This is hands down my favorite product by The Ordinary"
