Apply once a day, preferably at night time. If skin irritation occurs, use the product less frequently to allow skin time to build up tolerance. You can also dilute the formula with other products to reduce its strength. If irritation persists, discontinue use. Avoid contact with eyes.

Important:
Do not use on skin that is peeling or damaged. Always use an SPF during the day time when using products containing AHAs.

Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin's surface and helps to remove dead skin cells. It is a gentle exfoliant that can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a brighter complexion.

Glycerin: Glycerin is a humectant that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. It hydrates the skin, making it feel soft and smooth, and can also improve the skin's barrier function.

Q: What are the benefits of Lactic Acid?
A: Lactic Acid helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines, improving skin texture, and promoting a brighter and more even complexion. It also helps in removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface.

Q: Can I use it alongside other The Ordinary products?
A: Yes, but avoid using it with other strong acids, peptides, or retinoids to prevent potential irritation.

Q: Is it suitable for all skin types?
A: Lactic Acid 10% + HA is suitable for most skin types, but those with sensitive skin or those new to acids should start with the lower concentration (5% Lactic Acid + HA) before moving up to the 10%.

Q: How often should I use it?
A: Start by using it 2-3 times a week in your night-time routine. Depending on how your skin reacts, you can adjust the frequency.

Q: Will it make my skin more sensitive to the sun?
A: Yes, AHAs, including lactic acid, can increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. It's crucial to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning when using products containing AHAs.

Q: What's the difference between Lactic Acid 10% + HA and Lactic Acid 5% + HA?
A: The primary difference is the concentration of lactic acid. The 10% version is more potent and offers more pronounced exfoliation, while the 5% version is milder and suitable for sensitive skin or those new to acids.

Q: What is the purpose of Hyaluronic Acid in this formula?
A: Hyaluronic Acid helps to hydrate the skin. Its inclusion in the formula aims to offset any potential drying effects of the lactic acid, ensuring the skin remains moisturized.
