For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply 2-3 drops over the entire face a maximum of 2-3 times per week. This treatment is highly concentrated and daily use is not recommended. Do not use on irritated or sensitive skin. Can be diluted with most oils per application to reduce strength.
Notes:
1. Alpha Lipoic Acid is highly sensitive to sunlight. Please do not expose to direct sunlight. Application to face is recommended at night-time only.
2. Alpha Lipoic Acid is less stable in formulations that contain water and use of formulations of ALA containing water is highly discouraged. This formulation is water-free and may feel slightly 'oily' for a few seconds after application.
3. This formulation contains an extremely high concentration of ALA. Daily use is not recommended since such a high frequency of use can cause skin sensitivity. Please follow suggested use frequency.

Not sure
I don't understand the effect. Also it has not pleasant smell. I gave it to friend because of this.

Nice
Added a bit of a radiance, and that’s it. Maybe good for younger skin but not afterwards

Perfect
It’s so fantastic! The first time I tried it, it looked like foundation on my skin: skin tone was absolutely amazing. It’s not oily - I use it in my morning routine now. The best product for my skin.

Refined skin and glow
This definitely gives me a refined skin tone. I alternate with Granactive Retinol 5% in Squalene. I don’t use this as often as I should as I have to remember to only use it up to 3 times but so far so good. Has a smell but it wears off after a few minutes or so.

Great overnight results
This products is a game-changer for me. It helps me with overall texture of the skin. It gets really soft and I find that my makeup looks better. I like to use it the night before I want to have an extra good day skin or when I don't have time for anything else. I just put on this and go to sleep. Gonna buy one for my mom, its that good.

I have to use it more!
I didn't use it too much, so I can't say exactly, but I know my skin feels good after using it.I can't say anything about long-term results about this one, because I have to use it more, but until now no problems with it and antioxidants are always a YES!

Alpha Lipoic Acid 5%
The Original is bloody fantastic whatever the product! Found the brand by accident, I love the approach. The products smell a bit chemically but that is the nature of the ingredient. When they say no fragrance or any unnecessary ingredients that jack up the price - they mean it. I have been using a completely Original skincare routine + sunscreen. My skin has a JLo glow. Brilliant!

Quick results
I have used this product three times since buying it last week. The change in my skin has been rather dramatic. The product is potent, it results in a temporary tingling sensation which disappears soon after. My skin has now become accustomed to the product after three uses and this sensation occurs for a far shorter period. I do not wake up to smooth and polished skin as others have said. My skin is normally super sensitive and can be very drying. So it was no surprise that the product resulted in flaking the next morning. I embraced this nonetheless as it meant out with any dead skin. I find that exfoliating and moisturising solves this issue. Now for the good part - which is actually amazing: my skin is brighter. I welcomed this as my skin has been dull for some time now. Further to this, my hyper pigmentation has reduced somewhat. I am a southern Asian, with hyper pigmentation around my mouth. This is super stubborn to remove. I have found that the above acid results in the patches looking slightly smaller and as though it is breaking up. I also scar easily from spots (which are unfortunately hormonal). This normally results in hyper pigmentation that can take several months to clear. Since using this the dark spots are fading and,to my pleasure, some are actually just peeling off. A side note is that I have experienced no spots/purging from this to date. Thank you, The Ordinary. This provides quick results, so I continue to be amazed by the low prices yet great quality of your products.
