Glóavia Lactic 10% Overnight Refiner vs. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA

Exfoliation doesn’t have to sting or dry out your skin—but most chemical exfoliants either leave you red, tight, or irritated.

The Ordinary’s Lactic Acid 10% + HA is popular for its simplicity and effectiveness. But while it delivers exfoliation, it’s minimalist by design, and often lacks hydration, soothing botanicals, and multi-layer skin support.

Glóavia Lactic 10% Overnight Refiner solves that by exfoliating gently while nourishing and hydrating—a full overnight renewal experience.

What The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA Does Well

  • Simple, effective exfoliation
  • Reduces dullness and uneven texture
  • Affordable and widely available

Limitations:

  • Can leave skin dry or tight for sensitive users
  • Minimal antioxidant support or soothing botanicals
  • Only surface-level hydration via HA

It refines skin, but doesn’t provide soothing or functional layers of care.

Where Glóavia Lactic 10% Overnight Refiner Pulls Ahead

Glóavia didn’t just make a “10% lactic acid solution.”

It’s a hydrating, calming, and brightening overnight refiner that supports skin renewal while you sleep.

1. Gentle, Effective Exfoliation

  • Lactic Acid 10% + Pentylene Glycol + Potassium Hydroxide → exfoliates dead cells, smooths texture, and minimizes fine lines and pores
  • Works overnight for a fresh, radiant complexion by morning

2. Hydration & Barrier Support

  • Glycerin + Sodium Hyaluronate → multi-layer hydration during exfoliation
  • Prevents tightness or irritation common with overnight acids

3. Antioxidant & Soothing Benefits

  • White Tea + Sage leaf extracts → calm the skin and fight oxidative stress
  • Supports even tone and skin clarity

4. Radiance & Skin Renewal

  • Promotes gentle cell turnover without compromising moisture
  • Encourages smoother, brighter skin with regular use

The Real Difference

  • The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA = basic exfoliation + surface hydration
  • Glóavia Lactic 10% Overnight Refiner = exfoliation + hydration + soothing botanicals + radiant renewal

One refines.

The other renews, calms, and nourishes while refining.

Who Should Choose Glóavia Instead

  • Anyone with dull, uneven skin tone or texture
  • Users sensitive to typical AHA treatments
  • People seeking hydration, soothing, and antioxidant support while exfoliating overnight

It’s the perfect first step for brighter, smoother skin without the irritation.
