Reveal softer, smoother lips with The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum, a gentle yet effective lip treatment designed to exfoliate, hydrate, and refine the delicate skin on your lips. Powered by Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), this serum helps to slough away dead skin cells while supporting moisture retention, making it ideal for those with dry, flaky, or textured lips. Unlike traditional scrubs, this non-abrasive formula provides chemical exfoliation that works over time to enhance lip texture and appearance — without irritation.

Key Benefits:

• Gentle Exfoliation: PHA provides mild chemical exfoliation suitable for sensitive lip skin, reducing rough texture without causing micro-tears.
• Improved Lip Texture: Helps to smooth and soften lips for a more refined, supple feel.
• Hydration Support: Formulated to attract and retain moisture, promoting plump, healthy-looking lips.
• Non-Abrasive & Fragrance-Free: No harsh physical exfoliants or fragrances—just targeted care.
• Preps Lips for Lipstick: Creates a smooth base, enhancing the application and wear of lip products.

Key Ingredients:

• Gluconolactone (5%) – gentle PHA that exfoliates and refines skin texture
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (1.5%) – promote cell renewal and brighten the complexion
• Glycerin (>50%) – deeply hydrates and helps maintain skin moisture balance
• Black Carrot Extract – antioxidant that protects skin and gives a natural pink tint

How to Use:

• Apply in the PM as part of your evening skincare routine.
• Use a small amount and gently spread a thin layer across clean, dry lips.
• Do not rinse off — allow the serum to absorb overnight.
• Use 2–3 times per week or as needed. Follow with a nourishing lip balm if desired.
• Avoid contact with broken or irritated skin. Mild tingling may occur; discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.
• Always use a lip SPF during the day while using exfoliating products.
