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.

Great peeling for affordable price
Although I have pretty sensitive, oily skin and at the time I started to use this product I had severe cystic acne, I loved this peeling! I used almost the whole bottle and ordered my second one. I use it 2-3 times a week as a mask, leaving it for 10 mins and washing away with water. The skin becomes immediately smoother, in the morning it looks brighter and I can notice how my post acne is slowly fading away.

Strong formula, strong results
It's a strong formula and I cannot abuse of it because I have sensitive skin, but it is great to use once in a while to get rid of all dead skin cells and leave the skin really clean, soft and even.

Instant Facial
Use this about once a week and it really does give you an instant facial. Stings a little when you first apply then settles after a few seconds. after washing off my skin is so exfoliated without the abrasion so it's super plump and smooth.

Really works
Love this exfoliator! It's quite strong and tingles a bit when you first put it on but really leaves your skin super soft afterwards. Personally I think it works far better than other manual and chemical exfoliators.

Wow
Having read the warnings I was a little apprehensive about using this as it’s pretty strong however it is amazing. I have normal skin and the first time it stung a little but not since. My skin is as smooth as anything afterwards and I can already see fewer wrinkles and blemishes. You only need a few drops, I put it on my fingers and then onto my face rather than dropping it directly into my face. Thoroughly recommend this peel!

Consistently works
This is my 10th bottle of this miracle exfoliator. I use it twice a week and now leave it on for 30 mins. The initial stinging is a surprise but it really works. My pores have become invisible, breakouts now only occasional and compliments endless.

Amazing
First review i have ever wrote! Ive had a cluster of spots on my chin on and off for 2/3 months. Never normally suffer with outbreaks. I always decent products Clarins, Charlotte Tilbury Ect. But nothing was budging these spots, as one went another two would appear. Read up on the Ordinary brand. I bought the Cleanser, This and HA 10% & The buffet. They arrived Saturday. So used the whole range Sat night & Sunday night its now Monday. Spots all dried up nearly gone already. And there so cheap! My skin feels amazing too really tight and fresh. Cant get over the price so cheap. Fab products.
