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.

Overhyped
This is a very strong product and I haven't found that it leaves any real difference in my skin so I prefer to use gentler exfoliators

Fabulously Delicious 😋
This stuff is brilliant, it's not too harsh on the skin. My skin is menepausal.. which means it's oily, its dry, it breaks out.. all at the same time. If you have a break out, it can sting a bit where the pimple is but it clears the breakout . Also its normal when you begin using this to use bi weekly and I reccomend using it for half the time if you have sensitive skin. Let your skin get used to it before using for the Full 10-15 min. I use along with marine hyloranics by The ordinary after each peel session. My husband loves it too, it shrinks his pores on his nose. 😂

I should have switched sooner!
For years I used to use harsh exfoliators on my oily skin and it definitely damaged my skin barrier. After doing some research into liquid exfoliators, I decided to go with this one due to the great reviews it had. I built up gradually from leaving it on for 3, 5 and then 10 minutes to allow my skin to get used to it, and then started to use it twice a week. I've recently dropped to once a week, and replaced the second day with a clay mask/pore strip combination. I have seen significant improvements in reducing breakouts, which the harsh exfoliators definitely caused, and my skin looks much more even in pigment. Complete convert!

The best
The best over the counter chemical peel you can buy. Improves the texture of skin. Didn't have any reactions to this. Always patch test first though

Improves skin texture
This is the best over the counter chemical peel you can buy. It will transfer your skin. My skin texture has improved massively. I do advise doing a patch test first. Even though I have sensitive skin this product hasn't affected it. 10/10
