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.

Ok
I can’t see much difference at the moment as I have only started using it. I don’t feel it burns or irritates at all. I’m sure it smells a little like beetroot.

Smooth skin
It does what it says and leaves the skin smooth and pump. Follow the instructions and apply a mask or your usual moisturiser afterwards for best results.

Good product just not for me
I am a big fan of the ordinary, however this product just didn’t like my skin. Overall I have combination skin so struggle with a greasy t-zone and drier cheeks. I did a patch test that worked out fine. However after leaving the mask on for just 5 minutes it was apparent it wasn’t for the drier areas of my face and left my cheeks very red and blotchy. I would highly recommend if you are like me and have combination skin that is on the drier side purchasing the ordinary salicylic acid 2% masque as I have found it is a great alternative to this and overall for me gives much better results.

Results
Only used this a couple of times but can see results straight after use. Skin feels fresh, clean and really soft. My breakouts are calming down also

Very good
I have bought this cause for my awful Maskne I can’t use normal face scrubs when I need to exfoliate purely for not spreading the bacteria from breakouts all over my face with beads. So I bought this solution to help decongest and exfoliate my skin. I have combination sensitive skin type so I was slightly worried but it stings for first two minutes and that’s all my skin is so much clearer and texture is smoother. I only do it 1x week and is perfect. If you have open breakouts I would suggest to wait until they heal as you will be in pain abs you will aggravate them more.
