    • 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. ... show more

    • Part of my holy grail
I alternate this and 0.25% tretinoin every other day and it has been the perfect combo for my acne prone, very fair, very sensitive skin. After spending a ton of money trying everything under the sun to get my cystic acne under control this combo has been my holy trail for less than $20 combined. (I get my tret from All Day Chemist for $6 a tube). For PM moisturizer I use a couple drops of jojoba oil mixed with a pea size of Vanicream in the tub, and only Neutrogena 60 SPF sunscreen in the morning before makeup. My skin is so happy with this light routine - I've tried azaleic and glycolic acid from The Ordinary and some other products too but nothing has been as good as this. It feels very nice on the skin and absorbs quickly with no sticky or greasy residue. They also have a 5% solution which I recommend starting with if this is a new addition to your skin care routine. ... show more

    • Worth the money
It is work the price. It is light weight and easy to apply however because i have been using other products I haven't used this as much as the other so I'll update you later (however long that may be). It will serve you long even if you daily. It's not greasy, it dries quickly but it doesn't make me glow again because i haven't used itbso much and whennindo it with other products at night. But the quality is worth it. ... show more

    • Feels good on the skin. Go easy until skin adjust to it.
Works great it can sting a little when first using. Start with one or two nights a week. Then add a night as your skin adjusts. Feels good on the skin.

    • It’s a good buy
I don’t use it as how it’s intended to be used, but it does exfoliate. It might burn if you have sensitive skin. Be careful and use Spf

    • Great to get rid of milia
Used this to get rid of milia around my eye area and it worked really well. Most were gone within two days and a week later they were all gone. I used it with a light moisturizer and it makes my skin look really hydrated and bright. I use it every other day now for the brightening effects on my skin. Will definitely repurchase. ... show more
