Give dry, rough lips a fresh start with The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum. This gentle leave-on treatment is designed to smooth, soften, and hydrate your lips by lifting away dry, flaky skin without the harshness of physical scrubs.
Formulated with 5% gluconolactone (PHA) and 1.5% alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), it gently exfoliates the surface of the lips to encourage natural skin renewal, leaving them looking smoother and feeling softer over time. A high concentration of glycerin helps lock in moisture, while ectoin supports the skin barrier for long-lasting hydration.
The formula also contains black carrot extract, a natural antioxidant that gives the serum its subtle pink hue. Since it's plant-derived, the color may vary from pale peach to vibrant pink without affecting the product's performance.
For an extra nourishing overnight treatment, layer it under The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm to help smooth away dry skin while deeply hydrating your lips.
Why you'll love it:
- Gently exfoliates dry, flaky lips without scrubbing.

Please note: You may notice a slightly tangy taste after application. This is normal and comes from the gentle exfoliating acids that help renew and smooth the lips.
