In stockThe Story
The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is a gentle chemical exfoliator specifically formulated for lips, combining 5% gluconolactone (a polyhydroxy acid) with over 50% glycerin to smooth texture and boost hydration. This serum works on the skin's surface to dissolve dead cells while respecting the barrier, making it suitable for sensitive skin, and can be layered under lip balm for overnight renewal and plumper, more radiant-looking lips.
