After cleansing, I apply about two dropper-fulls all over my face, wait for 10 minutes, then rinse off with water. It's amazing how it exfoliates without any physical scrubbing. Every time I touch my skin while rinsing, I can feel how effectively it's removed the dead skin cells. In my case, there was only a slight tingling sensation during application, which completely disappeared after washing it off.
ConsFirst-time users might find it a bit intense, but you'll likely get used to it over time. I don't find it problematic anymore. Besides, any sensation of irritation goes away once you rinse it off with water.
TipI used this in combination with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (a low pH toner).

I found it gentle enough to use daily.
ConsThe small quantity isn't disappointing. Not sure why I need to write 20 characters though.
TipIt works well when mixed with an emulsion.

I usually use tretinoin, which sometimes causes flaking, but when I apply this product, my makeup goes on smoothly the next day and visible flakes disappear. I use about two drops, and despite having super sensitive skin, it doesn't seem to cause irritation. It's also fragrance-free, and I'm satisfied with the ingredients at this level.
ConsThe problem is that the lid, as always with this brand, doesn't close properly. I can't help but think they do this on purpose... For some unknown reason, when I use this, I break out the next day. My skin kept getting worse, and I'm certain this is the culprit. It's a potent formula, so I only use a small amount 2-3 times a week, but with a 1-year shelf life, I wonder how I'll ever finish it...
TipMix 2-3 drops with your moisturizer when applying.

I think 5% wouldn't have shown any noticeable effects. I applied 3-4 drops thinly every evening, and it wasn't irritating at all. The next morning, my skin felt as smooth as a peeled egg, making this a go-to item for me. Great! I've heard that lactic acid is good for pigmentation, and it gently exfoliates without irritation. My acne scars have improved significantly!
ConsIn terms of value for money, there's not really anything to complain about.

While it contains ingredients that help with dead skin cells, I bought it for my pore issues. The formula has a water-like consistency that absorbs well, and it's the gentlest among AHA products, making it suitable even for super sensitive skin without causing irritation. I didn't notice much difference when I first started using it, but by the second bottle, my skin texture had noticeably improved.
ConsI've tried other products from The Ordinary, but I've always found that the dropper's opening gets misaligned, making it difficult to close properly. Also, for some reason, I occasionally feel a tingling sensation when I apply it to my skin.
TipSince this ingredient doesn't mix well with UV rays, apply it at night as part of your evening skincare routine, and use it only once a day. After applying AHA products, it's best to wait a moment before layering on other products.

I'm happy to report that I've been using it without any major issues. I've switched my entire skincare routine to The Ordinary products, except for my moisturizer. While it's hard to say if it's solely this product or the synergy of the whole line, I've noticed a significant improvement in my complexion after cleansing. My skin looks noticeably brighter, and areas with uneven pigmentation have faded considerably. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results!
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant. Since it's a liquid formula applied directly to the face rather than with a cotton pad, you need to be careful. Once, I accidentally let a drop fall on my forehead from the dropper, and it nearly ran into my eye - that could have been a disaster! The liquid texture combined with the dropper applicator makes it a bit tricky to apply directly to the face.
TipMy skincare routine goes like this: Right after cleansing, I use either the Lactic Acid 5% or Glycolic Acid 7% (which isn't listed on Hwahae, so there are no reviews for it. Personally, I found the Glycolic Acid more effective for my skin). I apply this with a cotton pad, and despite thorough cleansing, it always picks up some yellowish residue - gross but satisfying! Depending on my skin's condition, I do this chemical exfoliation every other day. Then I follow with Mamonde Rose Water Toner, Ducray Keracnyl Control Cream, The Ordinary Niacinamide 10%, and finally a mix of Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Cream with three drops of The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2%. Since adopting this routine, I've noticed my skin becoming noticeably more radiant!

Just applying this alone makes my skin quite hydrated. It's effective at removing dead skin cells too. I'll likely repurchase.
ConsSince it's only 30ml, it ran out faster than I expected, unfortunately.
TipApply this only at night before going to bed.
