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!
When using this product I have noticed that it will burn in any areas that I have blackheads or excess sebum such as my nose and chin, however, it has yet to make any changes so I feel this is not for everyone. However, if used on clearer areas the skin does appear tighter and firmer so I feel this is better for those with less problematic skin or just be careful as it hurt more than it should have and left a slighy red irritation.

Incredible peeling to have at home
This peeling leaves the skin beautiful after using it. It helps with skin tone, the appearance of pores and the appearance of new pimples. As it is a peeling you have to be very careful not to irritate the skin and follow all the recommendations. Using it once a week changed the texture of my skin.

Tingles but it's worth it!
You can definitely feel this product getting to work as soon as you put it on your skin - it feels a little bit uncomfortable for the 10 mins you leave it on, but once you've rinsed away your complexion is left so much smoother and brighter. I highly recommend adding into your skincare routine once a week!

Holy grail product!
I am so glad that I tried this! I have uneven skin texture due to years of acne and frequently suffer from congested pores, so have been using AHA/BHA exfoliants to tackle these issues. I was previously using a similar masque from Drunk Elephant but this product is more potent (5% more AHA) and costs a fraction of the price (DE's Babyfacial is USD 80). I've noticed an improvement in texture and clarity/blemishes after just one use and am tempted to try using it biweekly to see if it will help reduce my more stubborn texture irregularities. Please be warned that this is an extremely strong product and even I noticed stinging/tingling despite being an experienced acid user; this would definitely not be suitable for those with sensitive skin! I also use an AHA/BHA serum in the evenings but would not apply that on the same night as this treatment because it would be too much for my skin to handle.

Does nothing for me
All this does is make my skin itch, I used it for 6 weeks and in that time my blackheads and large pores got considerably worse and my dark patches didn’t fade at all. I stopped using it and started using a little silicone scrubber and my skin cleared up almost instantly
