Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin.. You guys have been asking for a review of this product for some time so here it is.. Let me know if you have used this product and what you thought of it.. Sending lots of love xx

[@Yegus1216]

Mad About Skin thank you for always replying :)

[@TT-oo5tx]

I recently bought lactic acid and am confused about its use with other products. after applying can I use hemi squalane or some other moisturizer like Argireline?

[@tammy9751]

Thank you for mentioning darker skintones in your review!

[@MadAboutSkin]

Its a total pleasure hun... sending you lots of love xxxx

[@sunrae7680]

Oh yes !!

[@lisagardner4814]

@@MadAboutSkin hi I have a question I have never used a chemical exfoliants before but I am experiencing some dry flaky spots and uneven texture. I’m not sure how to use it can I put it around my nose which is why I’m having a lot of dry flaky spots? On upper lip? and do I follow up with a moisturizer or will that penetrate and make the lactic acid too strong?

[@amandafairclough2130]

Thank goodness I found this video! This finally makes sense to me. I really appreciate your product and ingredient specific posts.

You are very well spoken and this video was helpful. Thanks!

[@erinlong8661]

I always check your account before I buy something and you really help me make up my mind. 💖 Thank you!

[@smilebot484]

this product was a game changer for me. i use it daily on my whole head (face, scalp, and beard) and ears. it gets rid of flaking skin which is not often talked about. love this product.

[@olinayoung6287]

Honestly your videos are so great (super educational, I take notes! succinct but so fun to watch)! My acid use is changing now: before, only used glycolic toner v judiciously!) mandelic acid serum; EUK for anti oxidant. That combo was wonderful for 6 months+ at least. My skin is more robust now (clear bright smooth soft for solid 3-4 months) using the toner regularly now, like daily! I received Hyalmide products, they ROCK!!! Thanks so much.

[@Patti-1962]

Being a skincare "nerd," I absolutely love your videos. They are packed with information where I learn many new things. I have used this product for three years, but since my skin has recently become more sensitive, I bought a bottle of mandelic acid to mix it with. Once I finish these products I will be buying the 5% strength. Lactic acid, combined with niacinamide and a retinol, have cleared up all hyperpigmentation and texture on my skin! (Plus the peeling mask once a week.)

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey Patti, i hope you have had a great week.. It sounds like mandelic may be the best exfoliator for you.. I love lactic but mandelic is even more gentle. I have found my skin drying out over the past few years and so i have been reaching for the lactic acid more and more xx

[@ral7521]

How long did it take to cleared up your face? I’m using this combination for 3 weeks now but didnt see a lot of difference

[@Patti-1962]

R Al I have been working on my skin for several years now. It is a slow process, but keep at it. I wish I had taken monthly photos so I could be more specific. I even have a mole on my cheek that has lost all it’s pigmentation. I think the peeling mask helps the most. The main thing is to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. You don’t want tot rush it and damage the skin!

[@lauradejongh27]

Rob you always have everything I'm looking for! You're AMAZING 😍

[@MadAboutSkin]

Aww than you so so much hun and thats so lovely of you to say :) sending lots of love xxx

Two videos in one day we are lucky.. I really should try lactic acid but i love my glycolic which works for me so I'm sticking with it.. Great info as always though xx

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thanks so much hun..my go to is glycolic acid but i usually swap to this in winter xx

[@ligiacoelho9779]

About a month ago I implemented the 10% lactic acid and the buffet serum in my routine (I don't use them at the same time of the day). I use the lactic acid 1-2x a week and the buffet all of the other days I don't use the exfoliant, at night. I'm not sure if it's normal but I noticed results right away! It doesn't harm my skin in any way, it made it soft right at the first day and it's getting plumper and healthier. I don't know which of the 2 did it or if it's the 2 together but I'm very happy!

[@MadAboutSkin]

Aww that's fantastic and i am so so glad they are working for you.. I love it when you find a product which gives you those instant results.. I suspect its the addition of both of them into your routine as they are both amazing products and have changed my skin for the best for sure xx

[@dawnfrye4343]

I’ve incorporated this product (the 10%) into my skincare regimen alternating every other night with my Agency retinol for about a month now and I’m sold 💛. Love your videos ✌️💛 from Pennsylvania 🇺🇸

Yay I am so so glad its working for you hun .. sending you lots of love x

[@taylork24ce]

Hello another great review I've been using the ordinary 10% lactic acid for a couple weeks now and it feels a little too strong for me I would like to know if I can apply moisturizer first to tone it down a bit until I can tolerate it by itself

[@B3thturner]

could i mix it with my moisturiser and apply after cleansing ? i love your video thankyou so much !! xx

[@Yegus1216]

I love that you talk about skin color, demographic rarely mentioned in skin care videos. Question: how will you mix/layer this with vitamin A, C and niacinamide?

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun thank you so much for watching and I think its such a shame people only ever talk about and reference their own skin tone but hopfully that will start to change.. In terms of layering I would put this on after cleansing and then apply my vitamin c followed by the niacinamide and then the retinol.. The order can be flexible so long as you put the lactic acid on first and allow it a min to sink in before applying other products on top xx

[@saraii_ii5328]

ALSO, i heard you shouldn’t use niacinamide and vitamin c together ! you can alternate meaning using vitamin c in the morning and niacinamide in the evening. you should do some research on it bc i’m not 100% sure

[@teenah6906]

I've been using the 5% Lactic for about a year now and i just love it 🥰 also tried the inkey list 10% Glycolic Acid but it's too harsch for my 49 year old skin😅 love your Videos , can't wait for new ones. Take care and stay safe!

[@MadAboutSkin]

Aww thank you so much for all the support and love you show the channel...you are not alone a lot of people find glycolic acid too strong so they opt for lactic acid which gives the same results just over a longer period of time xc

[@jessicaveeno]

I got the 10 percent a few days ago and I love it! Obviously, I wouldn't be seeing significant results already, but I really love the faintly tangy, fruity smell and smooth application. I have slightly sensitive skin that breaks out to HA, but this has not irritated my skin anyhow.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun thakn you so much for watching and for sharing your experiences with the products.. Your right it does has a pleasant smell which is unusual for an exfoliating acid lol and I am so glad to hear that the HA isnt breaking you out, I think HA is best used with an exfoliator to prevent this whilst adding the hydration xx

[@paulab9148]

good info, just what I wanted to know. I have sensitive skin and purchased the 10% Lactic Acid. I put it on the cleansed face, leave it for about 5 minutes and then rinse it off with water. I seem to be doing ok with that method. Once the bottle is empty I'll give the 5% a try. Perhaps I can leave that on without rinsing off/ Thanks for 2 videos in one day! You work very hard

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun thank you so so much for watching.. I think your right you should be able to leave the 5% on which makes for an easier application for sure.. Xxx

[@mayatheninja9026]

Love your videos!! I've been using the 5% for a week now and I was wondering since it contains HA would it be better to use on damp skin? Thank you for the great info xx

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, you can use it on damp or dry skin it doesnt make a huge difference and it will work well on either... sending you lots of love xxxxx

[@powerfulmindsoulandbody9411]

Hi ter... great video as usual😍if I use lactic acid 5 percent , can I cleanse the skin with inkey list salicylic acid cleanser before or should I get some other cleanser? If so please suggest somethng for oily acne prone skin

[@SkySilverFire]

Just started using this, I'm very excited

[@yaboijazz]

You really do have a video for everything I need! haha. I just picked the ordinary 10% lactic acid today, and i'm patch testing (as of now, no reaction!). I've used glycolic acid frequently before, so i'm not too worried about irritation, but it dawned on my that the cleanser I use (CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser) contains some salicylic acid. Of course it's not a high concentration, it's a wash off product and it's a BHA not an AHA, but I was wondering whether it would be a problem to use these together? Thanks so much!! and another thank you for helping me so much on my skincare journey x

Just came across your channel, and I found this really helpful! Just wanted to ask if exfoliation is a necessary step? I personally don’t have any skin problems besides the occasional breakout, but I do suffer from mild eczema and notice skin buildup when I do physical exfoliation. Would you suggest still using this 5% LA? I was also considering the LA of the Inkey List. Thanks! :)

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun thank you so much for watching and its not an essential step but one which i would encourage people to do, even if its just once a week... it all depends on whether you feel your skin needs it... senidng you lots of love xxxx

Hello how was your experience?

[@quintyp1941]

Hi! If i would use this after using a cleanser, which products would you recommend to use after exfolliating? For example which hydrating products to use. And would you recommend to use the lactic acid every day or a few times per week? Thank you! x

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun, I would use it every other day at first and then when the skin is used to it I would make it daily.. Afterwards I would add a hyaluronic acid into the routine to buffer and rebalance the skin adding hydration and then add whatever products you would like after that.. I hope this helps xx

[@calebchapman117]

Hi Awin. Love the vids legend. I have KP on the face and prone to occasional acne I was just wondering if you would advise using this in conjunction with a moisturizer overnight, or just on its own? If so what moisturizer would you recommend? Cheers and keep the vids coming, C

Hey hun thank you so much and this would work well on KP and always use a moisturiser after, something light like the ordinary natural moisturising factors is best.. Sending lots of love xxxx

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun thank you so much for watching. You can use this one as a toner and in terms of serums I wouldnt use a HA as it already has it in there so I would use a niacinamide serum and then something for brightening such as an alpha arbutin then top with moisturiser.. I hope this helps xx

Hey hun thank you so so much for watching and welcome to the channel.. I would use the lactic acid and vitamin c in the morning and then the salicylic and retinol in the evening which will help you to space them out and make sure you dont create any sensitivity.. the exfoliator should be used straight after cleansing.. I hope this helps xxx

Hi! Do you need a moisturizer after using the lactic acid or leave it as is? Thank you.

[@MadAboutSkin]

hi hun, it depends on your skin type, if you have some dryness then moisturise if not there is no need to... sending you lots of love xxxx

@@MadAboutSkin I was actually scared of using the lactic acid because I don’t know what to do next after using it 😅 this is very helpful. Thank you very much.

Hey! I use retinol twice a week, how do I introduce this as my first exfoliator in my routine? - Love from Malaysia.

Can i use vitamin c on or with lactic acid 10% ?

[@simr1929]

Hey there, i have super dry skin also have blackheads on my nose and cheek area. I haven’t tried anything of ordinary product but I would like to try them on, i am so confused of watching videos of the ordinary products dry skin care routines. I don’t understand what exactly to use and how. Can you please help me out with this:)

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, i think this would be the best porduct for you as the lactic acid will help with the blackheads but it is also hydrating so wont dry out the skin... sending you lots of love xxxxx

Hi hun its great for uneaven skin tone and will help with acne though you may want to look into azelaic acid too.. Thanks for watching xx

[@estelalaureano9960]

Am i okay to use this everyday or should i use it 2-3 times a week like a regular exfoliator.

[@annah3451]

On The Ordinary site they say you can use it everyday ideally in your night/evening skincare routine

I don't have any other product in my ''routine'' but I'm trying to get on one. Will I get any results just using lactic acid on my skin, I heard that I need a moisturizer.

Hey i hope u'll reply ❤️ just wanted to ask dat using alpha arbutin and lactic acid 5% would be enough for my hyperpigmentation? Or should i add more I'm new to chemicals so das why i choosed the gentle ones first thank you ❤️

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, I think this would be a great start for your routine and then in a couple of months you may want to add some others in such as tranexamic acid but I would start with these for sure.. sending you lots of love xxxx

Let them slough off on their own. Don’t scratch or pick. They usually come off on your pillow when you sleep.

Can I use the 10% lactic acid with the 2% BHA solution from Paulas Choice? Do I use it in the same regimen or on different days? And if so, how many times per week? Xx

Hey hun you can use them in the same routine if you use the bra on the areas you have blackheads and the lactic on other areas so you dont overlap.. I hope this helps.. xxx

Thank you for the information!! I’ve been using the 5% for a while and seen good results but just wondering the best way to apply it. On to a cotton pad and swept over the face or just patted in with fingers? Thank you so much for you information as always

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun thank you so much for watching.. I always find it easier to apply with your fingertips as cotton pads tend to soak up and waste some of the product.. I hope this helps xxx

Isn't the 10% too harsh? Which is best 5 or 10%?

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and thats a great question.. Most people dont find the 10% too harsh and its lovely and hydrating at the same time, if you have very sensitive skin then I would recommend you start with the 5% and then work up to the 10%.. I hope this helps xx

[@ZacMalone]

I use the 5% mixed in with moisturizer a few nights a week and I have no irritation

Hey Zac, firstly I have just checked out your channel and I love the content so would recommend everyone else check it out.. The 5% is amazing for the results you get from it and your right you never seem to get any sensitivity which is great.. Thanks for watching xx
