The Ordinary’s 8 Best Products to Operate Right Now

If you’re looking for a polished, even complexion, look no further than this exfoliating serum. As an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), lactic acid gently exfoliates the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells for a brighter finish. At the same time, Tasmanian pepper helps to composed and combat any irritation caused by the chemical exfoliant. We do want to note, however, that if you have extremely sensitive skin, you’ll want to be careful when using this serum. While it’s gentle with calming ingredients, it still contains a high concentration of AHAs. If you have sensitive skin and still want to give it a try, we recommend diluting it with a soothing treatment that may contain calming ingredients like green tea or aloe.
