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.

Excellent for minimising pores
A much younger colleague (with beautifully clear skin) put me on to this. I have sensitive skin and was a little concerned about reacting but the patch test proved no problem. I have failed to properly manage and reduce open pores on my nose for years - in spite of trying numerous products - and have instead relied upon the excellent Pore Professional (Benefit) which is fantastic at hiding them. I have only used this product twice but the pores on my nose have already been significantly and visibly reduced. I’m excited to continue using it to see just how clear my skin can become! A definite thumbs up from me! (YouTube videos are available and very helpful regarding application and how much to use)

Fantastic peel
I've been using this for years and it's so effective but also very gentle considering the strength. I leave it on for 15 minutes and it leaves skin so smooth with clearer skin tone.

Acne Killer!
I've been using The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution for about 3 years now. It's a strong product. And should be used with care. But as long as it is used properly, it can be a real miracle worker. The way I use it over the past 3 years has changed. I used to use it just now and again. applying it to my whole face for 10 minutes. These days I use it in a different way. If I wake up in the morning with a break out or I can see some blackheads building up. After wiping the oil off my face with a bit of warm water on some cotton wool. I dry my face. Then I apply this product to my Acne /spot / spots or blackheads. Most of the time, I do not apply it to my whole face. I eat my breakfast then wash it off. This is very often, enough to remove the offending blackheads. Or kill the Acne / Spot / spots, before they have managed to take hold.

Soo good
With only one application I can see the difference it’s really good but I have a really sensitive skin so if I apply it more than once a week my skin gets more sensitive and irritated. In the end it’s really good but for me only in small amount

Best Ordinary product
Literally one of the best products ever, after very first time my skin feels so smooth. A little bit itchy and uncomfortable while on, but thats the way it works. I do really like it, after first purchase ordered two more as it’s quickly going off stock.

My skin feels amazing!
I love this product! Having not used peeling solutions before I was apprehensive but I had no need to be! You can feel a very gentle tingling feeling and my skin was left looking glowing and dewy! Very impressed

Ordinary peel
Brought this for my daughter who suffers with acne scarring. She has tried it twice now and says you can feel it working when she applies it. Her face does look abit red after she's washed it off but sh said her face feels so soft and its taking some of the redness of the scars away. Think this is a keeper for her.
