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.

Good product but please start with the lesser concentration they arnt kidding. I have really sensitive skin but I figured I would be fine. NOPE. I got very bad skin irritation, ontop of the purging that happens when using an acid like this. Very uncomfy, painful, and looked like I had a bad case of the pox. I stopped using for a couple weeks and then I only started to use it once or twice a week, works lovely now. No irritation, skin is hydrated and very smooth with a definite improvement in texture. Also PLEASE use a good SPF if you’re gonna use this, or any other acid or retinol. You will burn. No level of skincare will ever be worth as much as the prevention of skin cancer

I used a 10% lactic acid toner before finding this that cost $60, and I could only use it twice a week otherwise it would irritate my skin too much. Not only is this much cheaper, I can use it daily without major skin irritation and works just as well, if not better than the other product. When first applying out still feel the slight tingle and my skin does pink up a bit. I use it at night and by the morning it's gone

This makes my skin so smooth and glowy! I like how it feels. I like that I can see progress with my skin so quickly, within days of use. I use this and then use sunscreen to prevent damage because this makes your skin more susceptible than normal to sun damage. Use this alongside daily sunscreen and you will likely see great results!

Wow I love this acid and skip every day or so. He other days I use Azeliqc acid 10%. Meant for dry skin and my skin is loving it with niacinamide and TirTir chamomile toner to soothe my skin. I've tried the tretinoin route and may incorporate it again on a lower dose as I don't think I need heavy exfoliation, but frankly, this product works well for me. Skin never looked brighter, cleaner, and lightly exfoliated. Love this. It's a product keeper for life.
