The Science of “Double-Strength” Surface Peeling
The Ordinary solves the problem of “Persistent Dullness” (where milder acids physically stop showing results) by utilizing a specialized 10% high-concentration lactic system. While Glycolic acid can be too aggressive for some, this addresses your skin’s health with a Balance of Power and Moisture:
10% Lactic Acid (Active): This is physically double the concentration of the starter version. It physically accelerates the shedding of the outermost layer of the skin (Stratum corneum), physically revealing fresher, more even-toned cells beneath.
Hyaluronic Acid (2% HA): It physically incorporates a cross-polymer HA. This physically acts as a “buffer” to the 10% acid, physically drawing water into the skin to prevent the dehydration and “peeling” that can occur with high-strength treatments.
Tasmanian Pepperberry Infusion: It is physically formulated with a botanical extract that helps physically reduce the irritation associated with acid use. This physically “cools” the stinging sensation often felt during the first few seconds of application.
Refining Engineering: It is physically designed with a pH of approximately 3.8. This is physically the ideal acidity to ensure the 10% concentration remains active without physically damaging the skin’s protective acid mantle.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
Lactic Acid (10%): Physically provides a “deep-clean” of the skin surface for maximum radiance.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Physically keeps the skin “plump” and hydrated during the peel.
Tasmanian Pepperberry: Physically helps to calm potential redness and sensitivity.
Propanediol: Physically enhances the penetration of the lactic acid for more efficient results.
Why You Will Love It:
The “Glass-Skin” Result: You will physically see a significant reduction in texture bumps and “clogged” appearance within just a few applications.
Moisture-Friendly: Unlike many high-strength peels that leave the skin dry, the lactic acid and HA physically leave your face feeling soft and “dewy.”
Cost-Effective Luxury: It physically delivers results comparable to expensive professional chemical peels for a fraction of the price.
How to Use for “Radiant-Skin” Results:
Preparation: Physically cleanse your face and ensure it is completely dry. Applying a 10% acid to wet skin can physically cause it to penetrate too deeply and sting.
Application: Apply a few drops once daily, physically in the evening only.
The “Tingle” Factor: You may physically feel a slight tingling for 30-60 seconds. This is physically normal for a 10% concentration, but if it physically burns, wash it off immediately.
The “Sun-Safety” Rule: This product physically increases your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. You must physically apply a high-SPF sunscreen every morning for at least a week after use.
Pro Tip (The “Progression” Rule): If you are moving up from the 5% version, physically start by using this only 2-3 times a week until your skin physically adjusts to the higher strength.
