From the Ordinary: Our formulations are updated from time to time as part of our commitment to innovation. As such, the ingredient list shown here may vary from the box of the product depending on time and region of purchase. Lactic Acid has a natural odour that some people find unpleasant. This formula was updated in October 2017 to use a grade of lactic acid that has no odour per customer feedback. Additionally, this update removed the use of carrageenan, a seaweed-based viscosity-enhancer, also due to feedback from customers. These changes improve the sensory aspects of the formula but do not impact efficacy.

- Q.
Will this product help with acne scars?
-06-Jul-2018
A.Hi Claudia, Thanks for your message, we hope you are well. Yes this can definitely help with acne scars as it's an exfoliating serum that helps to remove any dead skin cells including acne scars. Depending on your skin type you can even try the higher strength of Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% or even their Glycolic Acid as it's a higher strength AHA. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further queries. Kind Regards, Holly xx - Q.
