Q
Hi! I have a question about how to use this lactic acid product. The directions are a little confusing, do I apply it after cleansing? Should I wash it off right away, or is it meant to be left on? Also, if it stays on, can I use it with a moisturizer, or should it be used on its own?
Asked by Mel
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Hi there! Lactic Acid 10% + HA is meant to be a leave-on treatment, applied after cleansing. You can then follow up with a moisturizer :)Was this answer helpful to you

So …yeah so it actually works y'all!!

I'd been using Hyaluronic acid which is great for moisture but when I get stressed out, I get pimples that result in dark spots. So I watched a few YouTube videos and the ladies(Dark Skin women) all recommended it. I had nothing to lose so I tried it. LET ME TELL YOU GUYS THAT IT WORKS! These days, ...

Most Helpful Critical Review
Is this a wash off treatment or a leave-on?

I don't have a review yet, as I just purchased a bottle of the Lactic Acid exfoliating serum today. I'm a bit confused as to how this should be used. Is this a treatment that you leave on for a few minutes (or 10, 15 minutes?) and then wash off? Or, do you apply it after cleansing and leave it on...

Magic Potion?

I don't write reviews a lot, but this product deserves one! I have keratosis pilaris and could never get a smooth shave because of it. I have been using this for TWO days and my legs are almost completely smooth! I am often pretty skeptical of cosmetic and skincare products that talk a big game of the effectiveness of their products especially at $100+ proce points, and sometimes even with positive reviews, but The Ordinary is humble, effective, and affordable. I'm a huge fan now. I bought several other skincare serums from them for facial skin concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and redness and I already see a difference there too after a week

PLEASE make this in a bigger bottle! I decided to try this for my KP (iykyk) and it has worked wonders compared to anything else I've tried! I paired this with the naturium lotion and my skin is practically almost cleared! I will say start slow especially if you have sensitive skin so you don't wreck your barrier!

I purchased this as a dupe to SR's Good Genes Lactic Acid and i honestly didnt expect it to work as well. I was pleasantly surprised that I noticed a huge texture difference within a few days' use. I'm prone to dry skin and this did not dry or irritate my skin at all. I havent got any new breakouts since using this. Im very happy with this product.
