Review: Self-Care secret for busy mom! - As a 40-something year old mom juggling kids, work, and everything in between, I don’t have time (or budget!) for complicated skincare routines. I wanted something simple, effective, and affordable—and the Ordinary Lactic Acid Serum has been a lifesaver. ✨ Gentle but Effective Exfoliation My skin can get a little dull and uneven, especially with stress and lack of sleep. This serum gives me that gentle chemical exfoliation I need without harsh scrubbing. After a couple of weeks, my skin looked smoother, brighter, and just healthier. 🌸 Great for Sensitive Skin I was nervous about acids since my skin can be reactive, but this formula is surprisingly gentle. I started every other night and worked up to nightly use. No stinging, no peeling—just a soft glow. 💲 Budget-Friendly & Simple As a mom, I appreciate that it’s affordable and doesn’t come with extra fluff. The packaging is straightforward, but the product delivers. I don’t feel guilty adding it into my routine. ⏱ Easy to Work Into a Routine After cleansing, I put a few drops on, let it sink in, then follow with a moisturizer. Done. It doesn’t take more than 30 seconds, and that’s exactly what I need in the chaos of mom-life. 🌟 Noticeable Results • Softer, smoother skin texture • Less flaky patches around my nose/chin • Makeup goes on more evenly • A subtle “glow” that makes me look more rested than I actually am! 💡 Mom-to-Mom Tip Don’t skip sunscreen in the morning! Any exfoliating serum makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. I learned the hard way. Overall, this serum feels like my little self-care secret. It’s simple, affordable, and it makes me feel a bit more put together—even on days when I’m running on coffee and dry shampoo.
Review: fast results for my hyperpigmentation - Great product. I have eczema that caused bad hyperpigmentation on my neck. Noticeable difference after the first few days of using. It’s a little drying on the skin so you’ll want a good moisturizer to pair with it but it was great 👍

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will someone please take a pic of the ingredient's label and post it or just post the ingredients?**
A: Ingredients
Aqua (Water), Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Propanediol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol.

**Q: How would I incorporate this into my skincare routine if I use retinol (Differin) 2-3 times a week at night?**
A: I use the Lactic Acid 10% in my morning routine. I follow Angie from YouTube "HotandFlashy" and it has made an incredible difference to my skin.

AM Routine
Wash CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (with Wonder Cloth)
Apply Timeless Vitamin C 20%
Apply Lactic Acid 10%
Apply Timeless CoEnzymeQ10 Serum
Apply CeraVe PM Moisturizer Lotion
Apply Sunscreen Undefined R&R Sun Serum SPF 50 PA++++ or Australian Gold Botanical Tinted BB Sunscreen SPF 50

**Q: Can this be used with the ordinary Granactive retenoid %2 emulsion? If so how do you use them together?**
A: I would not use them together at the same time. Research and articles I've read state they may cancel each other out, therefore a waste of product. The retinols are not as effective on acidic skin. If you want to use both products, I would do the lactic acid in the morning routine and the retenoid at night. If you want to use them both at night, then I would alternate, making sure to leave at least one night free of both, to give your skin a chance to do its thing. Hope this helps.

**Q: Should the color of the liquid be clear or slightly yellow**
A: It mentions on the product’s packaging that it contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry (to help reduce irritation associated with the acid). Since it is of plant origin, there can be color variation depending on the season. Hope this helps :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fast results for my hyperpigmentation
*by N***H on December 13, 2025*

Great product. I have eczema that caused bad hyperpigmentation on my neck. Noticeable difference after the first few days of using. It’s a little drying on the skin so you’ll want a good moisturizer to pair with it but it was great 👍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The right acid for my sensitive skin
*by G***A on January 9, 2026*

Economical and works well. Start with the 5% if you’re new to acids but I use this maybe 3-4 times a month in addition to tretinoin (not at the same time) and it leaves skin smooth. Just use moisture after and SPF daily
