It even supposed to help with fine wrinkles as it has a moisturizing effect and locks in moisture. Do try though first on a small patch to avoid irritation. **Q: Can I use this for my under eye scars??** A: I use once a week under my eyes as I have sensitive under eyes. I don’t know what type of scar you have. I have a scar on my neck (as I had thyroid surgery) and I use on it. But I would say once and see how you feel. Hope that helps. **Q: At what point do you use this product in your routine, eg only once a week at night etc?** A: Hi Becka, I've been using it every night last year between October and December. Bare in mind that my skin is used to acids. If you are just starting out I'd test it first to see how your skin is going to react. Then I would use it 3x a week at night. Remember about the sunscreen too. Hope that helped! **Q: Will this help with hyperpigmentation/dark acne marks?** A: Hi this helps remove your dead skin cells and should be used with other serums - but c helps growth & repair and will reduce discolouration but not eradicate it ( quite sure for the gold standard removal and renew its lazer treatment) . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle but genuinely effective for smoother skin *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 May 2026* I like this because it gives me a noticeable improvement in skin texture without feeling too harsh. My skin looks smoother and clearer when I use it consistently, and it seems to help with that slightly uneven, dull texture that can build up over time. It’s not an overnight miracle product, but after a few uses my skin generally looks fresher and feels softer.The 5% strength is a good option if you want exfoliation but don’t want to go straight in with something very strong. I still treat it with respect and don’t overuse it, especially alongside other active ingredients, but compared with some exfoliating products I’ve tried, this feels quite manageable.You need to be careful of what other actives you use next to it as ultimately it is an exfoliator, and if you have things like azelaic acid or retinol in your routine then this may not be worth adding. But overall, it’s a really solid product for the price and one I keep coming back to when my skin needs a bit of smoothing and brightening. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great addition to skincare regime *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 August 2026* I use this once a week on a cleansed face, before bedtime. My skin appears refreshed the next morning, so this is now a regular part of my skincare regime! Love it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 31 December 2025* Keep my skin smooth ## Frequently Bought Together - The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2%, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Smoother Skin - The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides), Multi-Depth Hydration Serum for Plumper, Smoother Skin - The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid, Lightweight Hydrator for Skin Barrier Support & Hydration --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/47896928-lactic-acid-5-ha-2-gentle-exfoliating-serum-for-smoother](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/47896928-lactic-acid-5-ha-2-gentle-exfoliating-serum-for-smoother) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
