I've been using different products with AHA/BHA daily the last 10 years or so, so my acne prone but non-oily skin is pretty used to acids. I decided to try this product out since you can't really...

After falling for Sunday Riley's Good Genes, I was on the hunt for something I could afford to use on a regular basis. This lactic acid treatment is not a perfect dupe, but is a good overall...

The last facial skincare product I’ve been obsessing over is The Ordinary Lactic acid 10% + Hyaluronic 2% peel. Now, I don’t want to give too much away about this product because I’m planning on...

I usually like products from The Ordinary, so I thought I'd give this a try. I have very oily/acne-prone skin and am not an acid newbie. I usually use the Neostrata 8% glycolic acid toner (an HG!...

This is a great acid! It does change your skin. I did not have any peeling i never had with any acid, and I have been using them regularly for years. I suggest that you start out very slow if...

This product is my go-to facial acid. Unlike most users, when I first put it on, I peeled like crazy. I left this stuff on and a few hours later, I washed my face with a konjac sponge. My skin...

This is the best product I've tried so far from The Ordinary, and yes, I think it is comparable to Sunday Riley Good Genes. This is an effective lactic acid peel, minus the frills of a...

I'm a hardened glycolic acid user but this is my first time trying any kind of lactic acid product and I'm blown away with my results. First off, this stuff smells totally disgusting (like burnt...

Like every other product I've tried from The Ordinary this broke me out, presumably due to the castor oil (why put it in there? Why???). I tried this out for 2 weeks alongside my usual skincare...

This may be cheap but I was not a fan of the texture and scent of this product. It's very sticky and smells awful but the biggest issue is that it broke me out, most likely due to the hydrogenated...

I like this. I use so many acids on my skin that I haven't seen drastic results, but I like having it around for variety. It doesn't irritate my skin at all (when I first started using it, I felt a...
