The Ordinary's AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a potent formula that acts as a ten-minute exfoliating facial, helping to brighten, smooth and refine the appearance of skin.
The advanced exfoliant features a blend of 30% alpha hydroxyl acids (glycolic, lactic, tartaric and citric), as well as 2% beta hydroxyl salicylic acid. Helping to slough away dead skin cells, the powerhouse formula minimises the look of dullness, pore congestion and textural irregularities. Hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and Tasmanian pepperberry promote rich antioxidant benefits, while nourishing the skin with a soothing, comfortable finish. Topped off with radiance-enhancing black carrot extract, the illuminating mask promotes the look of revitalised, glowing skin.
Suitable for most skin types but not recommended for very sensitive or compromised skin. Always patch test before use.

How to use The Ordinary Peeling Solution
This powerful peel is intended for experienced users of acid exfoliation, no more than once or twice per week in the evening. To apply, begin by thoroughly cleansing the skin and patting dry. Sweep a thin layer of the solution across the face and neck with your fingers, avoiding sensitive or broken skin. Leave on for no more than ten minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. A tingling sensation is normal, but rinse off if discomfort or irritation occurs. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF the following morning.
What does The Ordinary Peeling Solution do?
The Peeling Solution is a chemical exfoliant powered by AHAs/BHAs. It helps to visibly brighten the complexion, reducing the appearance of pigmentation and redness, alongside decongesting the skin of impurities for a smoother, more unified-looking texture.

The best peeling solution
I use this monthly / 2 monthly to refresh my skin, it isn't too abrasive but you definitely have the sensation of a skin peel, Easy to apply and a little goes a long way.

I love this serum
It just works. I have dry skin and used this weekly - 2x a week for about a year. The transformation in my skin was amazing. All my fungal acne cleared up within a couple of months. I keep using it about once a month now, for maintanance. My skin is soft, plump, clear, holds moisture better and is GLOWING. I only used a few drops on my face for 10-12 mins max. You will definitely need a good moisturiser so your skin can heal properly after the treatment, and a sunblock. I used squalane oil and vaseline to lock in moisture. Still looking for the perfect dark-skin friendly sunscreen! anyway, would give this 10 stars. It's very effective.

Good
I use this every so often as can be a little harsh if used too often. Don’t exceed time leaving it on. But skin feels good after.

Love it
I’ve used this for a while on and off, I find it does cause a little discomfort at first especially if I’ve not dried my face fully but it isn’t unbearable. I feel like it gives my face a nice glow the following day

Works well, be careful where you place
I notice positive results when I use this product regularly (once a week for several weeks) however find I have to avoid the area where my nose creases around my nostrils and onto my cheeks, I find this area gets quite sore. Do not use on any pimples etc that you may have popped
