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.

Works well
I've used this a few times and it seems to freshen my skin. It does tingle slightly but does not irritate my skin.

Big impact, tiny bottle - but do your research!!
I bought this on recommendation from an influencer and I was not disappointed but DO YOUR RESEARCH. I really like this product but it is not for everyone. For me, it tingles when you put it on and I leave it for about 6 mins. Afterwards I make sure I moisturise thoroughly to help repair the skin. I then don't use any products with and AHA or BHAs in for the next 24-36 hours (when I did the next morning it felt like my skin was actually burning off!) I recommend this product as my skin is glowy and baby soft, but make sure you look up exactly how to use it first!

Not do SOC
Please do NOT use if you have Skin of Colour. This product is not suitable for people of colour and will burn through layers causing pigmentation and irritation. It works very well to exfoliate the skin and to prevent breakouts but not at all worth risking the stubborn post inflammatory pigmentation it could cause. Ordinary products really should be advertised smarter to sell to the correct audience and include info on this. I personally had a horrible reaction due to high percentage of Glycolic Acid (avoid for soc) and am still dealing with the effects 2 months prior thus chose to discard the remaining product. I’m sure it will work great for others and help with exfoliating needs but the low rating goes towards lack of information on dangers of active ingredient concentration and effects.

WOW
I couldn't quite believe the hype of this product, it's EVERYWHERE at the moment. But once I got it, I saw exactly what everyone meant!!! At first it does tingle a little and it sounds / looks super scary! But man my hyperpigmentation has visibly reduced after 4 uses. Now I look forward to the days I use this!! But please all do be careful!!! Always patch test, read dos and don'ts on their website too. And make sure to wear SPF!!!

Working wonders
I've been using this for around 2 weeks. I had some hormonal acne around my jawline and since using this 2x per week it has almost completely clearee up. It's gentle on my skin and the colour is great!!

Amazing!
I have only used this twice (once a week), but it is amazing! I keep catching my reflection in the mirror and being surprised by how smooth and clear(er) my skin looks. My very enlarged pores on my cheeks have nearly disappeared and the uneven skin on my forehead is looking smoother. I can't wait to do another application! It is minimally stingy, make sure you abide by the instructions and you'll be fine.

Amazing
This product is incredible. Initially it broke me out but now, every time I use it, my skin glows. I feel like my skin has become 10 years younger. Honestly, it’s such great value for money. You don’t always get what you pay for.
