Formulated to provide mild exfoliation, the Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% Superficial Peeling Formulation from The Ordinary promotes a smoother, more evenly-toned complexion.
The serum is fortified lactic acid, an exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), to help improve the appearance of pigmentation, uneven skin tone and texture. The addition of a Tasmanian pepperberry derivative helps to soothe sensitive skin, while hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture.
Contraindications: 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.
Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. (Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.)

Gentle exfoliation
I like this product as it provides a more gentle exfoliation than some other products on the market. And it can be used on your body too...not everywhere obviously! It's a lot milder than glycolic, so for my skin of colour sisters...use this, not glycolic!

Definitely does what it says on the tin.
Bought this product as part of anti-aging skincare regime for nighttime. Think its great, doesn't create masses amount of peeling on skin say like Retinoid or Retinol products do so quickly. This has a more gentle affect removing dead skin cells.

I'm not sure it did anything...
Tried this product, but didn't notice any difference to be honest. Although it didn't irritate my sensitive skin, so that's a good sign.

Simple cream
If you want a cream that’s super simple and lightweight then this is a good option. I have oily skin so this is works well as it’s not too heavy!
