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.

Never fails
This peeling solution has been a part of my beauty routine for 3 years. It’s excellent and keeps its promises. I use it once a week, or less, and in particular if I had been a bit lazy with evening face wash. It unclogs and exfoliates, and gives my complexion that immediate fresh glow and even texture.

Instant Results!
I was going to wait until after a few uses to make up my mind about this product but HOLY COW, it's already working wonders for my skin. I used this for the first time last night; applied a thin layer for 5 minutes and wasn't expecting anything to happen immediately of course. I've woken up this morning and my little cluster of acne scar hyperpigmentation, which is usually a bright, fire engine red, has died down to a duller, pinkier colour. Are my acne scars still obvious? Of course. But I cannot remember the last time they didn't look so dark and angry. I'm genuinely excited to apply another treatment next week to see how far this stuff really goes. I have very sensitive skin, but only experienced a very light tingly feeling whilst the serum sat on my face, and whilst it didn't feel as moisturising as some other reviews have said (I have had a very, very small amount of peeling around my scars), it also didn't leave my skin feeling totally dried out.
