The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% 30ml

If your skin feels rough, dull, or uneven, this serum might be exactly what it’s been waiting for. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% 30ml is a no-fuss, science-backed formula that gets straight to the point — effective exfoliation without drama.

What Is It and Who Is The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% For?

This water-based serum combines 10% Lactic Acid (an AHA) with 2% Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to exfoliate and hydrate at the same time. It’s supported with purified Tasmanian pepperberry extract, which helps reduce the irritation and sensitivity that can be associated with acid use.

Sri Lanka’s heat and humidity can leave your skin’s texture looking tired fast. This 30ml product is ideal for dry skin types and anyone dealing with dullness, uneven tone, or early signs of aging. If you’re also exploring other gentle acid options, the Medicube Azelaic Acid 16BB Calming Serum is worth a look for sensitive, reactive skin.

Benefits

• Gently exfoliates dead skin cells for a smoother, brighter complexion
• Hyaluronic acid (HA 2%) provides deep hydration without heaviness
• Helps reduce the appearance of signs of aging like fine lines
• Purified Tasmanian extract helps reduce sensitivity and irritation
• Improves skin texture and fades hyperpigmentation over time
• pH of ~3.8 optimises acid delivery for daily, effective exfoliation

How to Use The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2%

• Apply once daily, ideally in the evening after cleansing
• New to acids? Dilute with your moisturiser to reduce strength until the skin develops tolerance
• Works well after a toner — browse our toner collection if you don’t have one in your routine yet
• Avoid contact with eyes and the eye area
• Do a patch test before first use — apply to the forearm, wait 24 hours
• Do not use on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin
• Sunburn Alert: This AHA may increase sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen daily and wear protective clothing for a week afterward. The Medicube Collagen Firming Sun Cream SPF50 pairs well as a daytime follow-up
