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.

Strong but amazing
Love this product and you can see a difference after the first use my skin looks clearer and fresher after but it is sooooo stingy when you put it on, do not leave it on longer than the recommended time and I always wash off with cold water and then use a heavy moisturiser after.

Great if used correctly
I’ve seen a lot of people incorrectly use this product - it can be dangerous if misused. However it is great and perfect when used right

So far waiting to see results
I’ve heard amazing things about this helping with skin tone and acne, so far i’ve only used for 2 weeks so whilst i can see a small difference i think i need to use it longer. The good thing is it doesn’t sting when you put it on (unless you have an open sore so be careful!!) and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin

You NEED this!
I bought this after seeing so much hype on tiktok about it, and wow I totally understand why it’s so popular! On the first use it does tingle the face slightly so don’t be alarmed, it does subside! Once I left it on for 10 minutes and then washed off I could instantly tell my skin tone was more even and my skin looked healthier! I will definitely continue to use!

Dident work for me
I've been using this around 5 times and it did not make a difference to my skin. It has a burning feeling which is normal for a peel but it did not improve my skin
