Great chemical exfoliant

Amazing value for the price-point. Love that there is no fragrance or other unnecessary ingredients. Perfect to start using in quarantine because there is purging with the first few uses. I found it best to slowly incorporate and use max 3 times a week.

A great dupe for Sunday Riley Good Genes

I think The Ordinary's Lactic Acid !0% + HA 2% is a great dupe for Sunday Riley's Good Genes All in One Lactic Acid Treatment. It is very budget friendly. It is not a 100% dupe but it is able to brighten and resurface the skin in a great way.

If you are new to lactic acid, I would suggest working your way up to this product. Start with the 5% first.

cheap and works so well!

this product is well worth its money considering that it is cheap! it helps with hyperpigmentation and prevents new acne from showing up. I saw an instant improvement in my previous acne scars so I would continue buying this, however I do encourage that you wear spf with this product to prevent your skin from getting worse

This has changed the game for me!

I am totally obsessed with how amazing this has made my skin look and feel. For years I have found every type of exfoliator I've tried to be way too harsh for my skin. But this is perfection! It's so effective ! LOVE IT!

A wonderful gentle exfoliate

This is a great acid if you have sensitive or dry skin. I have oily skin and found it a little weak for my skin. Lactic acid is already slightly hydrating but the additional of 2% hyaluronic acid helps as well. This product is very affordable like all The Ordinary products and lasts for a long time.

My favourite alpha hydroxy acid

I love this!! I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since starting it. My skin is glowing. I use it 3 times a week at night only. If you are new to acids, I wouldn't begin using this more than than once or twice a week. Build up to 3 to 4 weekly treatments. It's really not necessary to use daily and it could strip your skin so be conservative with it.

Game changer!

This is a must-buy if you suffer from keratosis pilaris, those so-annoying bumps that crop up in places like upper arms and backs of thighs. I've purchased lactic acid to combat my arm bumps before, and found it to be way too harsh -- the resulting chemical burns were not cute. The Ordinary's take on lactic acid exfoliated my congested skin while still being gentle. I use it after showering and saw results almost overnight. Great product, great value, and a definite repeat purchase.

Great chemical exfoliant

I have been using this for a little over two months and my skin has done a 360. I had breakouts, major dark spots and hyperpigmentation and nothing seemed to work. After just a few days my breakouts got very small and after about a month I saw genuine results on my hyperpigmentation. Definitely recommend. The price is great and the bottle hasn’t finished after 2 months!!! Getting great use out of this.

Not Ordinary

I found The Ordinary products through Well.ca, and after doing some research on their products I purchased the Lactic Acid,plus some of their other serums. The price point is great and the results speak for themselves. My skin has never looked better! I now use about 5 of The Ordinary Products. I will definitely continue using these products.

Get past the smell cuz it works

I discovered The Ordinary from a website called Well.ca about 3 years ago. They were so affordable I could not pass up Lactic acid and Matrixyl at under $7 each.
I saw the difference right away with how my skin texture was changing.
The smell is unpleasant so I save it for bedtime. You wash it off in the morning and you feel like a layer of skin renewed. It's tacky after putting it on. Goes on clear. Putting a moisturizer or serum over skin is a pleasure. It soaks in much better. I use it once a week with Matryxl and Buffet.
Glad to use The Ordinary in my routine. It's budget friendly and effective hands down.
