The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

Description

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

What it is:
A gentle chemical exfoliating serum for lips designed to remove dry, flaky skin and make lips smoother and softer.

Key ingredients

• PHA (Gluconolactone 5%) – a mild exfoliating acid that loosens dead skin
• AHAs (1.5%) – help smooth texture
• Glycerin – deeply hydrates and keeps moisture in
• Ectoin – supports the skin barrier and prevents dryness

✨ What it does

• Gently removes dead, peeling skin
• Improves lip texture and smoothness
• Adds hydration and helps lips look fuller
• Works without harsh scrubbing (no physical exfoliation)

🧴 How to use

• Apply a thin layer on clean lips
• Use 2–3 times a week (not daily)
• Best used at night
• Follow with a lip balm for extra moisture

⚠️ Important notes

• It may feel slightly tingly (because of acids)
• Overuse can dry or irritate lips
• Use lip SPF during the day since exfoliation increases sun sensitivity

👍 Good for:

• Dry, flaky lips
• People who don’t like lip scrubs
• Sensitive lips (it’s milder than many acids)
