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.

Glowing skin
This product does skin a little at first but it’s quickly over. It looks rather odd as the colour is very red but once washed off your skin feels very soft!

Leaves my skin so smooth!
I’ve been using The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution once a week, and it’s amazing! My skin feels so much smoother, and my pores look smaller. It does tingle a bit, but I’ve gotten used to it. After rinsing, my skin looks fresher and more even-toned. I always make sure to use SPF the next day, as my skin feels more sensitive. Definitely a great addition to my routine—I can see a real difference!

Unsure
I purchased this product after seeing it all over social media as a good treatment for acne. However, I found it to be really harsh on my face and damaging to my skin barrier, leaving my face very irritated.
