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.

Great for clearing & smoothing skin
Purchased as a stocking filler for my teenage daughter. I have been using this for a while now & love it. It evens out my skintone & brightens my complexion, leaving my skin feeling & looking smoother & plumper. My teenage daughter borrows mine & loves it. This solution clears any of her breakouts & blemishes, whilst leaving her skin feeling & looking fresh & smooth. When you apply it, you may feel a slight tingling sensation, this dissipates quite quickly. In my opinion, the slight discomfort is worth it. Highly recommend.

Amazing
Been using this for years now. Twice a week is enough for me. This with a SA cleanser works wonders

Holy grail
If you havent tried this yet, where have you been? It's fab! I use it twice a week and it keeps my skin smooth, helps my acne a bit, and gets rid of any dead skin thats hanging about. Be careful the first time you try it: put it on completely dry skin or it is more likely to feel like it's tingling or burning. And start low with the time and build your way up to whatever you can tolerate. It hopefully then shouldn't feel at all uncomfortable and you'll figure out how long your skin needs it on. Longer isn't necessarily better!

Tingly but love the resilts
Tried this for the first time a month or so ago, goes on tingly but works really well. Leaves my skin feeling super soft and glowing! Use it weekly now and will use it twice a week as the weather gets colder

I use this once a fortnight
I use this once a fortnight and notice the difference instantly! I feel it evens my skin out, makes it plumper and in the morning overall looks fresher. There is a bit of a tingle when you are new to it but this soon fades.

A firm favorite
Part of my weekly self care ritual - have used this product for 2 years. I use this product as the first step before manual exfoliation, masks and moisturising. I havent had any issue with sensitivity or skin reactions.

Wonder product
This product is very strong but used correctly, even my quite sensitive skin can tolerate it. Physical exfoliators can make my skin angry, red and inflamed but this doesn't and I'm left with super smooth skin, without it being dried out.
