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.

WOW!
Was a bit sceptical about these type of products having never used a facial peel before. I read the reviews and thought I would give it a go. Wow! I am a devoted Elemis fan and tend to look after my skin generally, but after using this for the first time my skin glowed……looked so fresh and plump. I have a few wee bumps on my cheeks and those dreaded milia spots but I can honestly say they are barely visible now. Can’t recommend enough! Well done The Ordinary!

Dangerous for some
I love the brand but this particular product, for some people, under the wrong circumstances (be it skin type or unknowingly mixing actives) can be a very dangerous product that will burn and scar. I don’t think this should be sold to be honest. I think consult a dermatologist if you want to go to this level or just give it a miss it’s not worth burning your face.

Love it
Great stuff for the price. Really helps with my acne and oil control as well as ant ageing. Be careful not to over use and leave on top long.

Absolutely amazing!
I use this peeling solution twice a week, it leaves the skin feeling very clean and smooth, and after a few treatments, my skin looks brighter. it does sting a bit in the first use but not so much after.

Works well
Overall its a good product you just have to be careful not to use too much as it can burn your skin. Other then that it works great my skin felt smoother after the first use , obviously not ground braking smooth as i only used it once but it keeps improving as of so far.
