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 for dark spots!
I have been using this peel for about 4 years now. I started in the pandemic because wearing mask all the time gave me really bad acne. This peel helped get rid of the acne scars and dark spots. I do think it loses its efficacy after a while because my last bottle, which i had for sometime, didn’t sting so much so i was able to leave it on for 10 mins. It can sting a little esp if the face is still wet. The new bottle feels more potent so i wash it off after 5-6 mins. Leaves the skin smooth, and helps with blackheads too. Make sure you apply a calming toner and serum after this to help your skin. When using other actives like retinol make sure you use it on alternate nights.

Be Careful with Use
This product does what it says but please don't leave it on too long. I haven't had it on for longer that three minutes, pay attention to what your skin is telling you when you use this.

No difference
Can’t say this has any noticeable effect and I don’t like the tingly/itchy sensation I get short after applying
