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.

Really works
This works great. I use every 1-2 weeks depending on my skin at the time. It does sometimes sting a bit but worth it in my opinion. My skin is dry type but i also have somewhat sensitive skin

50/50
A bit harsh on my skin as I have sensitive skin, so need an extra TLC after use. But worked wonders to fade the stubborn acne scars.

It works but need to be careful
This peeling solution is effective but you need to be careful in how much you apply and the length of time you leave it on for. There are gentler peeling serums I prefer to use.

Amazing
I use this product once a week when my face needs a glow that evening or just needs a deep cleanse, and it works like an at-home facial. It does a great job. There isn't really another product on the market like it for this price. It may cause purging at first as your skin isn't use to being deep cleaned, but stick with it weekly. Don't overuse and make sure to moisturise well after.
