Product Performance

Ordinary Red Serum delivers multi-layer exfoliation through its high 30% AHA and 2% BHA formula, revealing a visibly brighter and more even complexion in just 10 minutes per session. The AHAs—glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids—target surface roughness and dullness, while BHA (salicylic acid) dives deeper to remove excess sebum and clear pores. The result is instantly smoother, revitalized skin that looks fresh and clarified. This serum is especially effective for those struggling with texture, post-acne marks, and clogged pores.
