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.

Good Product in moderation
Very good results but only use for 3-4 minutes the first time. Also keep away from eye area!

Leaves skin soft
Half way through my bottle and I am enjoying this product. I have been using it twice a week and it leaves my skin nice and soft. Nothing remarkable but a good exfoliator for sure.

Amazing exfoliator, but strong
I use to love this product, my skin felt so nice after using it, but with time, it being too strong, even using it once a week for the amount of time recommended, was upsetting my skin.

Okay
For the price it is a good product but I have tried other peeling solutions that were a lot better but they were also more expensive. My face did have a flushed effect for a couple of days after using this particular one too, shame really as this made me stop using it.

Love it
Really love this. You can really feel it working and it leaves my skin baby soft. I use it twice a week and never had any bad reactions to it. Will definitely be a staple skincare product.

My favourite peel
I use this whenever I feel my skin needs a good clear out and it really does make a difference. Can be a little drying but no problem as long as you moisturise properly afterwards.

Multiple time purchase
A great chemical exfoliator at a great price. I have bought this before and wouldn’t try another. A perfect at home light chemical peel, make sure you follow the instructions and you won’t be disappointed! I love the ordinary they offer brilliant skincare at an amazing price - perfect if you want to ‘try things’.

Weekly
Apply to dry skin. Use it for a max of six minutes, anything longer makes me itch. Outstanding value. If you have sensitive skin, limit use to 1 min and build up.
