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.

Game changer
This is an absolute game changer. It makes my skin look much clearer and brighter. One tip is to make sure your skin is 100% dry before you use it as it can irritate skin.

Awesome find
I'm almost at my 4th bottle. One should be careful though, not to apply it for more than the required 10 minutes and not to apply on sensitive cracked skin.

Insane in the membrane
I used this for the first time last night.. I washed and dried my face, left it on for 7 mins and washed it off whilst soaking in the bath (I couldn’t do 10 it was tingling) My skin is very acne prone. I have been on isotretinoin 5 times. I came off my last course Nov 21 and my dermatologist said wait a min of 3 months before putting anything invasive on it. I plan to use on a Monday & Thursday moving forward to help with my pores and scars. I cannot BELIEVE how much difference it has made from one 7 min session. Absolutely brilliant!!!!

Amazing!!
This is my 3rd time buying this and can’t say anything bad about it. Such a good product for those that struggle with pigmentation and acne scars. The skin feels so soft and refreshed after using. Just make sure to not leave it on for too long and USE SPF the next morning!!!

Great product!
I’ve used this product for three weeks now applying approximately once a week. It’s definitely helped improved the appearance of my skin and reduce redness from spots. It’s even helped prevent spots developing during certain times of the month when I normally get flare ups!

I cannot live without this
I've been using this peeling masque for 4 years now and I cannot live without it. I'm 44 and have struggled with oily and sensitive skin which is highly reactive and I've suffered with breakouts since I was a teenager. I use a few ordinary products as none of the products break my skin out and this masque is a game changer. I swear I haven't aged a day since I started using this and everyone thinks I'm in my early 30s. I really hope the ordinary never change the formula for this product as it's absolutely amazing and better than other similar products I've used with a luxury price tag.
