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
Absolutely love this. Purchased a bottle after reading so many excellent reviews - and they were right. Applies easily, no tingling, and ten minutes later, easily washed with water. Skin is super-super soft, feels wonderful, absolutely clear and would highly recommend. Probably the best thing I've ever used on my skin...

Brilliant at home peel
Having seen this peel by The Ordinary advertised I thought I would give it a try. It is very runny, like honey or jam texture and looks slightly scary as it’s red on your face. It feels a little prickly but when you wash it off 10 minutes later, my skin felt felt soft and new. A much more cost effective treatment than going to a spa!

Brilliant Product!!!
I’ve been using this product for 2 months now. You can see a difference after the first application on dark spots. After a month of using this product twice weekly my acne scars reduced a lot and my skin is brighter. This product is amazing, high quality for money. I would totally recommend for combination/ oily skin (don’t use if your skin is sensitive) and don’t forget your SPF x

Most effective face mask
I am so happy with my purchase, this turned out to be one of the best face masks I've ever bought. You can definitely feel it working as soon as it goes on your face there is a tingly burning sensation which is completely bearable but may be a bit of a shock if you're not expecting it. It eases as the mask is on. Don't leave this on for more than 10 minutes! The mask took away any and all dead skin I had on my face and left my skin really smooth and supple. Be sure to have a moisturiser to use after that is free of any alcohol or anything that may aggravate your skin as effectively you've removed the first layer of it. I paired this with Simple's moisturiser with SPF 30 in it as sun protection is recommended. I was especially happy with the service that I got from lookfantastic.com as postage was free I was really pleased about having purchased such an inexpensive product, would highly recommend both the product and the service.

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution 30ml
Lovely product, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get rid of stubborn acne or anyone wanting a facial like result. I needed it for both reasons and was impressed how quickly it helped my acne heal (made a major difference after one application) and how bright and clarified my skin looked after using it. It does sting/tingle a little bit the first time but it does die down after a few minutes and isn’t painful. Will definitely purchase again!
