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.

A bit soon to tell…
I only purchased this product a couple of weeks ago and have probably used it twice. This is because it is quite strong and stings a tiny bit when applied. I have also been slowly building the time up that I leave it on for from a couple of minutes hopefully up to ten. My skin feels softer and smoother after use and not at all irritated! I will definitely continue with this peel. Another great product by The Ordinary!

Great product
After using other peels before, including the pricier ones, this one is just as good. I’ve only been using this product for a month (once a week) but I’ve noticed my skin is much softer & smoother. The fine lines around my eyes have definitely improved. I would recommend this peel for anyone who is trying it for the first time & even more experienced users. After applying & rinsing off I use my favourite hydrating face mask & my skin feels amazing!! Definitely worth a try.

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
