Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% Gezichtspeeling

The Ordinary's Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% facial peeling is a super good product. I myself have combination, especially dry, acne-prone skin. Because of my acne, I have a lot of pigment spots and redness in my face. About 2 to 3 times a week, I use this product as a serum before bed. The next morning, my skin is much nicer and smoother. My imperfections are less visible. Despite the fact that I have sensitive skin, the exfoliant works great. And the price-quality ratio is great! The only thing I noticed is not to use the product too often. Indeed, the packaging said that it can be used daily, but after a few days, I just got extra irritations, acne and red spots. That is why about 2 to 3 times a week is sufficient and I will not recommend daily use.

This fantastic exfoliator from The Ordinary is one of the best purchases I've ever made! I naturally have quite dry and sensitive skin, but I also suffer from blackheads and an uneven skin structure around my T-zone. Finding a good exfoliator was therefore not easy until I came across this gem. From the first time I used it, I noticed a small difference and this has kept getting better ever since. I also did not have a burning sensation while applying the product (which I have quite quickly with other products). The use is very simple, you first cleanse your skin with a good cleanser, followed by a toner. Then put about 4 drops on your face and gently spread it all over your face in a circular motion. Let it dry for about 2 minutes before continuing with your skincare routine. After that, I always use a serum, eye cream and moisturizer. I myself use it about 2 times a week in the evening, which is ideal for my skin! Don't forget to apply SPF in the morning, because an exfoliator will burn you faster (even better not apply in the morning). Be sure to check which other products you should not use with these (including acids and retinol) For all my sensitive girlies, who also suffer from blackheads and an irregular skin texture, this is an absolute winner! #SkincareIsTheBestCare

A combination of the ordinary products has made a world of difference for me, after 1 month I already had results. After 3 months, my skin had improved enormously. This is from March 2019 but I wanted to write a review in the hope that people will benefit from it. Previously, I always had pure skin but suddenly I got a lot of bumps, spots, pustules, impurities and so on. At the time, I received advice from a very nice lady in The Hague at the Douglas about the ordinary and this really helped me so much, so let someone with a real understanding of the products advise you. In the next post, I'll post a photo of all the products, unfortunately I can't add more photos but here's a list of what I used and how: 1) cleansing the skin (I didn't specifically use the ordinary for this) 2) salicyl acid 2% solution - directly on pustules or spots 3) (only in the evening) lactic acid 5% + HA - a type of peeling for the whole face 4) niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% - brightens and regulates sebum all over the face 5) hylaronic acid 2% + B5 - works all over the face to retain moisture in the skin as hydration 6) Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - the day cream is a very basic day cream because you already work a lot with acids etc, keep these in combination with the above products basic! 8) Once a week AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution - this has really given me a nice glow and reduced pores, I still use this but less often. My skin has really improved enormously after 3 months and after about 1 year I started phasing out with products, because I think you don't have to do too much and crazy once it has calmed down. Now I use a day cream with standard niacinamide in it, sometimes an acid that is suitable for my skin. Right now, that's BHA from THE inkey list and nothing else. In case of drought, I apply coconut oil extra, especially before going to bed. Please note, this worked very well for my skin. Get good advice when you first start working with different acids, not everything is possible together! But I wanted to show you the effect of products that work and the time it takes.
