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?

Peeling solution
My 4th repurchase of this product. I use twice a week for a 10 minutes and it definitely has improved the condition of my skin over time. Pores are much smaller, less frequent break outs. Be aware that when you first apply it, it will tingle but this will settle after a minute or two and I’d recommend halving treatment time to start as it is pretty strong stuff!

Good
Stings a bit but if it gets better after a few minutes, so the ten minutes period feels like forever, skin looks much better afterwards tho so it worth the hassle, I love it

Impressive!
I've heard & seen a lot about this stuff on YouTube & TikTok lately & felt like trying it. It's a great price, so I thought I'd treat myself, as I've been suffering from hormonal acne just lately & it's been really making me feel insecure. I was a bit wary, as I've heard that it's quite potent & I didn't want to damage my skin, so made sure to do a little patch test first. That was fine, so I applied a decent amount to my face, left it for 10 minutes & rinsed it off. I noticed that my skin felt so soft & cleaner than it had ever felt! I looked in the mirror to see if it made any difference & my pores looked way cleaner & smoother than before, however sadly it hasn't yet helped with the acne. I will continue to buy & use this once I finish the bottle, as it really does help with congestion & enlarged pores etc. So far, very impressed!

Works wonders
Been using for around 4weeks, didn’t feel like I could see a massive improvement at 1st Decided to start steaming my face before I used the peel and woke up the next day with brighter clearer skin and pores look visibly smaller
