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.

Thrilled
I was a bit wary when I saw what looked like blood in the bottle but after tentatively doing my first application I was really thrilled 2hen I got up the next day and my skin felt lovely. I was expecting stinging when I applied it or after removing it but it was fine. This is now in my regular usage

Quickly Smooths Skin
I have sensitive skin. Did a patch test on my forearm 24h before first use as recommended. This does sting when you use it, and was slightly sore feeling after washing off and applying SPF moisturiser. However, this didn't last long and my skin felt much smoother.

Love this
I have a rough patch of skin at my right cheek and no matter what I use nothing shifts it. That is till I used this serum. It reminded me of blood as I went to apply it but what a result. My skin felt baby soft and there is probably a 75% reduction in the rough patch. I can’t wait to see how it looks after 3 applications.

My skin looks like new! I use it once in a week, but you have to use SPF daily. Love it.

New skin result!!
I’ve heard great things about this product … and it didn’t disappoint! Used it twice and each time my skin is left so soft and visibly smoother!! Very chuffed with this but. I only left it on for 5 - 8min to begin with.
