The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is a gentle, water-based lip serum formulated to exfoliate, hydrate, and smooth dry, textured lips. Designed with 5% gluconolactone (PHA) and 1.5% mild alpha hydroxy acids, this advanced lip treatment helps remove dead skin cells while supporting the lip barrier for softer, healthier-looking lips.
Now available in Sri Lanka, this lip serum offers a science-backed solution for smoother texture, improved hydration, and naturally radiant lips—without irritation.
The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is a chemical exfoliating treatment specifically developed for the delicate lip area. Unlike physical scrubs, this serum uses gentle acids to dissolve dead skin cells on the surface of the lips while maintaining moisture and barrier integrity.
Due to the larger molecular size of PHAs, exfoliation remains mild and surface-level, making The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum suitable for sensitive lips and regular use.
This serum helps target:
Dry, flaky lips
Textural irregularities
Dehydration
Compromised lip barrier
The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum combines gentle exfoliation with intense hydration to promote smoother, healthier-looking lips over time.
