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.

Be careful with sensitive skin

Amazing results !!
Have used a few times now and it’s amazing. Felt a slight tingly feeling when I first used it but not painful. I recommend sticking to the time frame as per instructions to avoid burns.

I use this as a body mask peeler for my breakouts and it really helps if your consistent with it. Breakouts will fade and blemishes will brighten.

So far so good
I’ve used twice (once a week) for 5 minutes at a time. My skin looks great immediately after and feels soft. I don’t notice much beyond that, but I will keep using it and increase the time since I am not experiencing any irritation.

Fades dark spots!
Excellent peel, been using this for 4 years. Started during pandemic as wearing a face mask made me break out badly. I use once a week only as it is quite potent. Stings when applied esp if skin is wet. Once the bottle is opened i think it loses some potency after a few weeks as my old bottle i could leave on for 10 mins while the new one i can use for only 5. Leaves skin soft and smooth. Also helps with the blackheads.

Excellent for dark spots!
I have been using this peel for about 4 years now. I started in the pandemic because wearing mask all the time gave me really bad acne. This peel helped get rid of the acne scars and dark spots. I do think it loses its efficacy after a while because my last bottle, which i had for sometime, didn’t sting so much so i was able to leave it on for 10 mins. It can sting a little esp if the face is still wet. The new bottle feels more potent so i wash it off after 5-6 mins. Leaves the skin smooth, and helps with blackheads too. Make sure you apply a calming toner and serum after this to help your skin. When using other actives like retinol make sure you use it on alternate nights.
