Say goodbye to flaky, uneven lips and hello to a smoother canvas for your favourite lipstick. The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is a gentle yet effective chemical exfoliator designed to refine texture, boost hydration, and leave your lips looking plump and polished.

At the heart of this lip serum is 5% Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that delicately loosens dead skin cells on the surface without irritating sensitive skin. Paired with 1.5% alpha hydroxy acids—citric, tartaric, and malic—it works to soften rough patches and reveal a silky finish. The result? Lips that not only feel smoother but also make your lipstick glide on effortlessly and wear more evenly.

Hydration is equally prioritized. With over 50% glycerin, this serum draws in moisture and helps it stay put, while ectoin strengthens the lip barrier for lasting softness. A touch of black carrot extract provides antioxidant benefits and gives the serum its natural pink tint, though the colour may vary slightly due to its plant origin.

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is vegan, oil-free, and silicone-free, making it a clean and uncomplicated addition to your lip routine. Whether worn alone for a fresh, healthy look or used as a prep step before lip colour, this serum ensures your lips stay soft, supple, and perfectly kissable.
