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.

Makes your skin feel amazing. Just make sure you build up the time you leave it on for (don’t do 10 minutes first time)!

Peeling solution
I have only used this product twice so far but I can already see a difference in my skin. It has definitely cleared up and is becoming a lot less irritating, would definitely recommend.

Shinking spots?
I've used this a few times now and when I've had a spot it seems to shrink it down really quickly? I use it before bed and by the morning it's reduced quite a bit! Fun tip... Put it on without your partner or someone you live with seeing and then ask them if your coming up with a rash because your face feels weird.. Their face is just a picture!

Powerful peeling
It’s a very powerful peeling so make sure you don’t leave it for longer than 10 min for the first uses. I notice my skin glowing and a very soft texture after using it. My skin doesn’t suffer from any acne or scarring so I don’t know if it’s good for that. I use it once a week and I quite like it.

Smooth and glowy skin
Decided to try this tentatively in lockdown in the hope that I had no adverse reaction. Safe to say that if you tread lightly with this product and pay attention to what your skin is telling you then this is a great product for a deep clean, pore-minimising and radiant skin. Have used this for 8 months now once fortnightly as anything more dries my skin out.
