Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. When to not use The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%: Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions. This pH of this formula is approximately 3.8. Lactic Acid has a pKa of 3.8 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.
How To Use
To use The Ordinary’s Niacinamide in Pakistan, follow these steps:
- Cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil.
- Tone your skin to balance the pH level.
- Apply a small amount of the serum to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Gently massage the serum into your skin using upward and outward motions.
- Wait a few minutes for the serum to fully absorb into your skin.
- Follow up with your moisturizer to lock in hydration.
It’s recommended to use this serum in the morning and evening, as part of your regular skincare routine. You can also use it under makeup or on its own for a more natural look.
It’s important to note that niacinamide can cause temporary flushing or redness for some people, especially when first starting to use it. If this happens, reduce the frequency of use until your skin becomes accustomed to the product. Also, be sure to use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day to protect your skin from UV damage.
