Why Choose The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA?
Exfoliation is an essential step in maintaining healthy-looking skin. Dead skin cells naturally accumulate on the surface over time, causing dullness, uneven texture, clogged pores, and reduced radiance.
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA offers gentle chemical exfoliation that removes these dead skin cells without the need for harsh physical scrubs. Because the formula contains a moderate 5% concentration of Lactic Acid, it is especially suitable for beginners or those with skin that prefers milder exfoliation.
Key skin concerns this serum helps improve include:
- Dull skin
- Uneven texture
- Rough skin surface
- Fine lines
- Mild pigmentation
- Post-acne marks
- Loss of radiance
- Dry-looking complexion
With consistent use, skin appears smoother, fresher, and noticeably more refined.
What Is Lactic Acid?
Lactic Acid belongs to the Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) family and is one of the most widely used chemical exfoliants in modern skincare.
Unlike physical scrubs that manually remove dead skin cells, Lactic Acid gently dissolves the bonds that hold old skin cells together, allowing them to shed naturally. This process encourages healthier skin renewal while revealing a brighter, smoother complexion underneath.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, chemical exfoliants such as AHAs can help improve skin texture, enhance radiance, and promote a more even-looking complexion when used appropriately.

Why Is Gentle Chemical Exfoliation Important?
Healthy skin naturally renews itself, but dead skin cells can accumulate over time, making the complexion appear dull and uneven. Gentle exfoliation helps accelerate this natural process, allowing fresher skin to become more visible.
According to the INCIDecoder ingredient database, Lactic Acid is valued not only for its exfoliating properties but also for its ability to improve skin smoothness and hydration compared to stronger exfoliating acids. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals seeking brighter, healthier-looking skin while minimizing the risk of excessive irritation.
How to Use The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml?
Using The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% HA correctly helps maximize its exfoliating benefits while minimizing the risk of irritation. Since this serum contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), it is best incorporated into your evening skincare routine.
Evening Routine
- Cleanse your face thoroughly using a gentle cleanser.
- Ensure your skin is completely dry before applying the serum.
- Dispense 2–3 drops of The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA and apply evenly over the face, avoiding the eye area and lips.
- Allow the serum to absorb before applying a hydrating moisturizer.
For those new to exfoliating acids, start by using the serum two or three evenings per week. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase the frequency if needed.
Morning Care After Use
Although this serum is applied at night, protecting your skin the following morning is equally important. Alpha Hydroxy Acids can temporarily increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and limiting unnecessary sun exposure while using exfoliating acids.
Important Precautions
To achieve the best results safely, keep the following recommendations in mind:
- Use only once daily, preferably in the evening.
- Apply only to clean, unbroken skin.
- Avoid contact with the eyes and lips.
- Perform a patch test before first use.
- Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.
- Do not use on peeling, compromised, or highly sensitive skin.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
If your skin is not accustomed to exfoliating acids, you may dilute the serum with another gentle treatment or moisturizer until your skin becomes more tolerant.
Can The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA Be Combined with Other Products?
This serum works well as part of a balanced skincare routine and can be paired with several hydrating and barrier-supporting products.
It combines well with:
- Hyaluronic Acid Serums
- Ceramide Moisturizers
- Squalane-Based Products
- Gentle Cleansers
- Hydrating Creams
- Broad-Spectrum Sunscreens
Avoid layering multiple strong exfoliating acids, retinoids, or other potentially irritating active ingredients during the same routine unless your skin has already developed good tolerance.

This exfoliating serum is ideal for individuals looking to improve overall skin texture while using a gentle chemical exfoliant.
It is particularly suitable for those experiencing:
- Dull complexion
