I cleared my face a bit but not that much of a difference honestly -
Glory skin
I have been struggling with hormonal acne for some time and this helps clear it up and make my skin brighter and more glowy A little goes a long way I love how it makes my skin look and feel 😊Great for preventing ingrowns
I use this around my bikini area to prevent ingrown hairs or if I have some redness - works like a charm and lasts forever!Pretty good
I’m using this on the bumps on my thighs, I’m not seeing huge improvement but it is a good price and maybe it takes time.Effective but gentle
Very effective exfoliator. Did not experience any stinging, redness, or skin sensitivity using twice per week. Instructions are confusing but it is a leave on formula. Will buy again.Gentle
I highly recommend this product. I have seen a difference in my skins tone and improvement with acneLovely serum
I like this serum perfect for hydrating and also gentle acid. I really like lactic so it’s perfect and doesn’t feel too heavyIngrown hairs
I have sensitive skin and found this a bit strong to use on my face - so tried it to eliminate ingrown hairs/bumps under my arms and bikini line. Works so well and redness is greatly reduced after 1 day at a fraction of the cost of other ingrown hair products.Smooth skin
I’ve been using this in my routine for a while now. I’ve found it’s made my skin really smooth, the exfoliation is mild and not harsh at all. I always use this product first on my skin after cleansing as I’ve found I get the best outcome with keeping my skin smoothWorks slowly
I have been using it as a spot treatment, it is ok but prefer other products from TO over this oneVery good
Been using this for a while is and great for the price. No issues at all.Amazing
One of the only products that clears up my breakoutsEhh
Not my fave but still goodRosacea
I got told to try this and I did. Using it about 2 times a week is good but if you use it more while having rosacea it can hurt the face and make it more red.Helpful for skin texture
This helped to improve my skin texture over time using once a day.Good at exfoliating
I used this on some bumps and closed comedones on my thighs, I felt that it helped a bit and a little went a long way. Bottle lasts ages.Excellent
I now use this Ordinary products every night with this being on the top of the list.Can't beat it
I've used this on and off since it was brought to Australia. My combination skin can tolerate nightly actives within reason, and while this is not the most aggressive chemical exfoliant I do think it gives better results when you leave a day or so between applications.Using this and a product with retinol on alternating nights gives me a better result than some facials. This is a lovely, inexpensi...Read Morepermanent part of my routine
I love using this twice a week and using a dermaroller to really get it soaking it. Is not overly harsh but def helps the peeling processA game changer
I've never used chemical exfoliants before so I was very nervous, but this was recommended by someone with similar issues (hormonal acne, blackheads, breakouts, oiliness, pigmentation) and I gave it a go. I regret nothing! It's helped stop breakouts in their tracks, blackheads are vanishing, and my skin is SO smooth after using this - and it's only been a week or two. In conjunction with other Ord...Read MoreGood for dry skin
This works wonders for my dry flaky skin. I have tried the Inky List lactic acid and it made my skin feel awful and even drier. This one has the added HA which I think my skin needs when using an acid.Great as a deodorant.
This gets rid of any body odour.Absolutely perfect
Now this product is my absolute favorite from The Ordinary, my skin always feels perfect and healthy at all hours of the day.Great gentle daily exfoliant
I use lactic acid daily on my skin and it helps to make my skin feel smooth. With the addition of hyaluronic acid in this product my skin is extra hydrated and glowing therefore making the lactic acid formula non drying as some chemical exfoliants may feel like. The lactic acid by The Ordinary is a great beginners and experienced gentle chemical exfoliant I highly recommendGood
Quite good, will repurchase !Great

Ideal for those with normal to dry skinNice

A great milder alternative to using peels. You only need a small amount as it seeps in slowly and spreads farGood
a brighter, smoother complexionGood
Not my favourite Ordinary product but defiantly still good, I found that other products are more beneficial for my skin but that is probably just my preference skin/type. Would still recommend as I know it works well for a couple of my friendsNot sure it was doing anything and gave up after a few weeks.
I think this is a very slow way to exfoliate your skin. I am impatient and got frustrated as I did not see any differences in my skin using this for a few weeks. So I stopped. Thankfully it was not at all expensive so it did not really matter that it was not right or me. I love this brand and this is the only product of theirs I have been ambivalent about.Good
brighter, smoother complexionWorks Well, Great Price
This does such a great job of evening out the skin on my forehead and temples. I use it every other night with my Buffet. It is strong! I needed to work my way up to using it every second day. I finish it off with HA and a face oil.Not for sensitive skin
I don't mind the product but it does sting a little at first, I use it only once a fortnight as my skin is too sensitive. Would suite less sensitive skin that needs really cleaning up as it gets rid of dead skin cells, so great for oily skin.Good
Helps to brighten and even the look of skin tone and textureMy fave chemical exfoliant
I use this product 1-2 times a week and feel it makes a huge difference.Great
Helps to brighten and even the look of skin tone and texture.Great upgrade from the 5% lactic acid!
I have sensitive skin and used to use the 5% lactic acid for a few months. Now I have upgraded to the 10% lactic acid and have not seen any irritation yet! I would recommend to start with only 2-3 times a week to gauge sensitivity before upping the frequency if you're worried.Great

Great exfoliant that isn't dryingPerfect for your skin texture
It's a gentle excoriating solution. I definitely see the difference in my skin tone and improvement as far as my acne is concerned. Highly recommended!Fantastic results
The Lactic Acid 10% and HA was recommended by my dermatologist nearly 2 yrs ago. It has been great for my skin which was severely dehydrated and needed exfoliating at the same time. I use 2-3 a weeks at night and my skin feels and looks very soft. The dry patches have disappeared. When your Doctor recommends a product you definitely feel safe to use.Good for acne prone skin!
I've been using this for a few months now and I have been loving it. Unlike other exfoliators, I find that this doesn't really cause purging. Also the price is super good and lasts about four months.Sensitive skin friend.
I wanted to try this acid because i have sensitive skin. Using it every couple of days i havent had any reaction to it. While, i don't get tons of pimples i have noticed while using this I'm not really getting any. The only draw back is i feel my skin could still use some physical exfoliant as its not as bright.Love
Seems to be doing the job!Fantastic!!
it improves your skin toneLove
This is such a lifesaver! Ever since I stopped using physical exfoliants and instead starting using this 2-3 times a week, I never have problems with texture on my skin. My breakouts are also usually alot less angry the morning after using itMy go to product
I use this product everyday on my face and body. Especially my arms that have multiple skin conditions. It’s a great product to smooth skin and exfoliate the skin. High recommend using this product after shaving your legs, it’ll sting a little at first but the next day illl have the smoothest legs ever.Perfect exfoliator
This product worked perfectly in getting rid of my dead skin cells, I used this twice a week and could see a difference in only two weeks which is a significantly better result than other exfoliators I have tried. I would recommend however, if you have sensitive skin maybe opt for the lactic acid 5%.Perfect medium exfoliator for me
I usually used a high percentage lactic acid and mixed it with a natural cream to dilute it. After trying a great face primer from this brand I wanted to try this lactic acid product. It's great value and personally gentle but not too much, just the right percentage for noticeably effective changes to my skin texture. Have tried many all different exfoliating acids in past and lactic personally se...Read MoreSoft texture that absorbs well
I haven’t notice a difference with this product but I like the texture because it’s watery and absorbs (not like BHA’s that leave some shine on the skin).lactic acid
this is a really effective lactic acid product, it keeps my skin clear and smooth without drying it outFantastic!!
it helps my acne in my faceLove it but dry
I use it twice a week but my skin seems to be pretty drygreat for legs
So i bought this product to help exfoliate my legs - i have really dry skin and found the lactic acid is gentle enough to use often on my legs. it feels a lot better than the glycolic acid almost watery in texture. easily absorbed so i can quickly moisturize after. def recommendQuite strong
I switched over to this after using the 5% formulation for several months thinking my skin was ready but this is quite strong. It works well, but does create some redness so I choose to use this in only less sensitive areas of my face. A great chemical exfoliator but I'd definitely suggest starting with the 5% if you're new to these acids.Great chemical exfoliator
I really like this product. I use it most nights before bed. I prefer chemical exfoliators over physical ones, and this one is strong enough but not over exfoliating. If you have really sensitive skin you might want to start with 5% first.not great
not sure on this one, did not see any negatives or positives from using it for about 3 weeksLove it!
Love love this product. I don’t think I have sensitive skin, I’ve seen a few people say it was too strong for them, but personally I think it’s fantastic. I don’t use it very regularly as I’m not treating an issue, I use this more as ‘the occasional exfoliant’ so maybe every 2 weeks I might use it once. After 1 application I can feel such a huge difference, my skin is soft and subtle and smooth. I...Read Morelove
great exfoliate and gentle on the skin/. it great that you can get different % as i have sensitive skin and started with 5%No noticable difference
I used this daily for a few months but I did not notice any significant positive changes to my skin in that time.Smoothing
This product has been great, I have noticed that it has significantly smoothed out my skin. Overall my skin seems to be brighter and healthier looking.Too strong for sensitive skin
I really like a lot of products from the ordinary but this one is actually too strong for me, I started using it once a week expecting to build up but my skin was too sensitive after using it, I tried for a few weeks and it didn't got better so I decided to refrain from using it. Maybe it is better for people with a less sensitive skin.Product's colour changed after 3 months
I rarely used the product but noticed that after 3 months, the colour has changed? I'm not sure what happened there.Helps brighten my skin
I used this product after I finished using the 5% lactic acid version and it worked really well in keeping my skin bright and clear. Would definitely recommend anyone new to exfoliation to try out the 5% version first though, especially if you have dry and sensitive skin like I do.Gentle exfoliator
My sister was using the ordinarys Glycolic but it was a bit too much for her skin. I purchased the lactic as its more gentle and she’s loving it. It’s a really nice consistency and sinks in nicely.Love how my skin feels
My skin feels so smooth after this product, but not overly tight like some other exfoliants I've used.Great for keratosis pilaris on face
I have been using this product for nearly two weeks and have found it has reduced the kp on the sides of my face. Although it is not a huge difference, it has helped within only two weeks of applying it every night. Definitely give it a go if you are looking for something to help reduce the appearance of kp.Great!
I used this around the time I normally get horrible hormonal acne and not only did I only get a single breakout, the product reduced the size of the breakout significantly overnight. Definitely recommend especially at the price point!Wonderful exfoliant for use 1-2 times a week
Great exfoliant, makes my skin feel fresh and exfoliated. Can feel a bit harsh sometimes so I only use 1-2 times a week.Great in exfoliating oily skin
Love how my skin feels after this! Find it really good on those extra oily days, my skin feels exfoliated but not overly so.Gentle but effective
Absorbs into the skin so quickly. Is so gentle but such a great exfoliant, Have repurchased twice!Love it
Love this product - my go to when my skin needs a bit of a boost to radiance! This has been a re-purchase of mine multiple times.super gentle
very gentle compared to glycolic but still has exfoliating action. Love this for when my skin is more sensitiveMy Holy Grail
This has got to be my holy grail exfoliating product. I used the 5% for a while but didn't notice too much difference but the 10% is amazing. Ive stopped using it every single day as I'm using more exfoliants/prescription retinoids but this has been my go-to for years- have used over 10 bottles I think.
Great consistency- doesn't burn and layers well. Makes my face so smooth it's a lifesaver...Read MoreAwesome!!
I have Acne-prone skin , and was not too sure if i should buy this product.... but its life changing it has helped me get rid of my acne!! and it also made my skin so smooth, 100000%% get it and u won't regretGreat product
I have oily skin that breaks out and this product has already made my skin feel less bumpy, as well as fade my acne scars.Very gentle
I bought this product to smooth my skin and move my skin tone more even and I've been using this product twice a week for a month. So far the result has not been quite obvious. However, I do like that it is not harsh on my skin and I will increase dosage next month. I won't be able to use it up within three months though.Not sure
I can feel my skin very slightly sting when I apply this LA but I don't think it's improved my skin texture or pigmentation.lactic
clears my skin really nicely. it doesn't dry my skin out like harsher acids. would recommendvery good
It is not as strong as I expect., after I put it on, My skin turns red a little bit.Great chemical exfoliant
I use this on my face every 2-3 days and it has made such a difference to my skin. I was already using another exfoliating product which was a mix of chemical exfoliant (also lactic acid) and physical exfoliant so I wasn’t expecting any difference since my skin was already used to lactic acid but within the first week my skin was so soft and smooth, I was totally shocked (in a good way!)Best body exfoliant
I've been using the Lactic Acid %5 on my face, neck and decolletage every second day, with great results, and following up with this on my body. My skin is smoother, more hydrating and it's improving my pigmentation. It's very gentle but really effective, highly recommendGreat for acne treatment
Love this product for treating hormonal acne. Go easy with the application the first few times you use it. I lathered it on the first time and the skin under my eyes was quiet sensitive the next day. I use it lightly in the evenings and it leaves my skin looking clearer and smoother the next day.Love it!
Great value exfoliant. I love how it makes my skin feel smoother. I use it a few times a week year round and haven’t had any issues with sensitivity with it. Definitely a staple.The best thing I have ever bought
This left my skin feeling so smooth and it evened out my texture. I used this 2 times a week and honestly it did wonders to my skin.Great for your face & Body
I used this for my body as I had some scarring and using this has helped with fading. When I use this on my face I literally wake up glowing. LiterallyValue for money
I decided to try this one out after using the 5% version and find the results are better with this.
I do find it works best if you try to be consistent with it 2-3 times a week as well as letting it sit on your skin for a good 10-30 mins before applying oils/moisturisers to do its thing. It can be a little drying if you get a bit excited with the amount you use, generally 3-5 drops a...Read Morenot so sure
I cleared my face a bit but not that much of a difference honestly -Great product
I use this product about 2 times a week or when I have breakouts.
I only apply to affected areas. I find this helps to get rid of my breakouts a lot quicker and also reduces scarring. It is very drying for my skin and so I would not be able to use this anymore than 2 times a week as I already suffer with dry flaky skin but for the purpose I am using it it does a great job, I only noticed tin...Read Moreok for the price
Nothing really changed after applying this product for a few months, But it's a decent product for its price,
