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.

Very effective
This really cleared out my clogged pores. It is strong so make sure you don’t keep it on for longer than the recommended time. A little goes a long way.

Another happy repurchase
As long as TO keep making it, I’ll keep buying it. I use it once or twice a week and my skin GLOWS. I wouldn’t be without it, but make sure to follow the instructions and check reviews etc as I think it might be too harsh for some people.

Keeps my skin glowing
I use this product twice a week, set a timer for 10 mins (no longer!) and remove with water and a face cloth and it keeps my skin glowing and clear. Yes, its quite runny to apply but the results are great. I've heard you can increase the time you leave on as you get used to it, but 10 mins does the trick for me and its quite potent so I wouldn't want to risk any longer before washing off. I order this on repeat.

Great weekly treatment
Love a chemical exfoliant with both AHAs and BHAs. Would recommend 5 minutes to begin with rather than 10 as directed especially if you have sensitive skin or do not use actives very frequently. Definitely helped to improve the overall condition of my skin.

Weekly need!
I use this once a week, it stung the first couple of times but now it’s fine and feels great for a weekly de clog of the skin!

The Best!
I have suffered with acne for so many years, especially hormonal acne, this helps keep them at bay and makes my skin silky smooth and cleans out my pores. It does sting the first initial minute but it's worth it.
