How to Use
For Face & Neck:
Apply once daily, ideally in the evening, to the face and neck using a cotton pad or your fingers.
For Scalp:
Apply to a dry scalp up to three times per week, dispensing the product from the front toward the back of the scalp.
Important:
If you're new to direct acids or chemical exfoliants, The Ordinary recommends starting 2–3 times per week and gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Do not use on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Because exfoliating acids can increase sensitivity to sunlight, use appropriate sun protection during the day.
