Give Dry, Flaky Lips a Gentler Reset

If your lips often feel rough, flaky, or uneven even after using lip balm, the issue may be built up dead skin. The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is a gentle chemical exfoliator made specifically for lips. Instead of using a grainy scrub that requires rubbing, it uses PHA to loosen dead skin on the surface while supporting hydration.

This can be especially useful in Bangladesh, where heat, humidity, sun exposure, air conditioning, and frequent lip product use can leave lips feeling dry or textured. With regular, sensible use, lips can look smoother, feel softer, and appear more comfortable under lipstick.

Benefits

Gently exfoliates dry and dead skin from the lips
Helps improve rough and uneven lip texture
Supports better hydration and moisture retention
Leaves lips feeling softer and smoother over time
Helps create a smoother base for lipstick and lip products
A good alternative to harsh physical lip scrubs
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin

Detailed Product Overview

The formula contains 5% Gluconolactone, a Polyhydroxy Acid or PHA that provides gentle surface exfoliation. PHA molecules are larger than many other exfoliating acids, so they tend to work more gradually on the surface, making them a practical choice for delicate lip skin.

It also contains a high concentration of Glycerin, which helps attract and retain moisture, along with Ectoin, an ingredient used to support the skin barrier and long lasting hydration. The formula includes Citric Acid, Malic Acid and Tartaric Acid, plus black carrot extract, which gives the serum its naturally pink to peach appearance.

The water based, oil free and alcohol free formula is designed to exfoliate without the rough feeling associated with traditional lip scrubs. You may notice a slightly tangy taste because of the exfoliating acids.

Who Is It For?

This lip serum is a great option if you have dry, flaky, rough or textured lips and want a gentler exfoliating treatment. It is suitable for all skin types and can be particularly useful if your lips are sensitive to aggressive scrubbing.

It can also be helpful for people who regularly wear matte lipstick and notice that dry patches become more visible underneath makeup.

However, it should not be used on cracked, broken, injured or actively irritated lips. If your lips are already burning, inflamed or unusually sensitive, skip exfoliation and focus on gentle moisturising care instead.

Why Customers Choose This Product

The biggest advantage is that you do not need to physically scrub your lips to remove flaky skin. The serum works through chemical exfoliation while the hydrating ingredients help keep the lips comfortable.

It also fits easily into a simple nighttime lip care routine. The Ordinary recommends using it on alternate evenings rather than treating it like a daily lip balm.

How To Use

Start with clean, completely dry lips.
Apply a thin layer of PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum.
Allow the serum to dry before applying another lip product.
Use on alternate evenings as needed.
Follow with a nourishing lip balm, especially if your lips tend to become dry.
During the day, use a lip balm with SPF before sun exposure.

Do not use it more often simply because your lips feel rough. Over exfoliating can make delicate lip skin uncomfortable.
