Chemical Exfoliant Newbie: 💧The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5%💧


Looking for a product to kick-start your chemical exfoliation step but hesitant on high concentration acids? Then product is the one to go.🧬

This serum is a mild lactic acid superficial peeling formulation. The 5% concentration offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepper berry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. Lactic Acid 5% is best if you have normal/sensitive skin and have skin concerns revolving around sun damage, uneven texture and pigmentation—it helps to keep the uppermost layer of skin free of pore-clogging debris so new cells can elbow their way to the surface.


On Deciem's website, they recommend to use the serum once daily. Personally, I would recommend using it 2-3 times a week. Since this is an acid product, it is better to slowly build up your skin's tolerance with the acid concentration.

I used to have a bit of flakiness around my nose and chin, but after using this product for almost 2 weeks, I noticed how it helped reduce the flakiness and texture on these areas. Results are even visible after 2-3 applications plus it doesn't sting. Thankfully, I never experienced any purging or skin irritations while using the item. Since the serum is more on the watery formula, the skin absorbs it fast and it leaves no stickiness nor tacky feeling which makes it perfect for your night-time routine. Overall, as a first time chemical exfoliant user, this item is a 10/10. ❤️
