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.

Effective and affordable AHA face mask
Finally ordered my 2nd bottle of this - the first I must have ordered about 2 years ago... I don't use it in the summer fo fear of further hyperpigmentation after use, but in the winter I use about once a month. Blood red, which is fun and a little scary for those around you, it's a very liquid exfoliator which removes /dissolves dead skin cells on the surface. WARNING - it tingles, so be careful and maybe start with 6 minutes and work your way up to 10 minutes. Leaves my skin super soft and smooth. Seriously good and seriously affordable.

Great product
Used this years ago and recently repurchased. Skin needs to get used to it if you want to incorporate it to your regular skincare. Make sure to not touch the pipette dropper directly with skin because it can oxidise the whole product

Skincare Staple
This is an absolute god send. It does sting/tingle a little but it doesn’t burn it’s completely bearable. and I have quite sensitive skin so if it doesn’t bother me you’ll be fine! I leave on for 8 minutes once a week. Don’t put anything strong on your skin afterwards a gentle moisturiser or mask overnight will leave your skin glowing the next day. I’ll never be without this.
