Didn’t see results. I used this on a weekly basis for a couple of months, and while it didn’t cause any adverse reactions, my skin didn’t improve in any way either. The product feels like a light...

The Alpha Lipoic Acid 5% is probably one of The Ordinary’s most immediately gratifying products in terms of visible results, behind only the AHA 30% + BHA 2%. ALA (thioctic acid) doesn’t pack...

I hated this serum with a passion at first fro the first two months because of the burning rubber smell and no matter how much I apply, I didn’t seem to get any visible results. One day I realized...
