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.

Love this stuff
I really love this. I used to use gritty exfoliates every day because of my skin type however I use this once or twice a week instead. Highly recommend.

Perfect
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a potent exfoliant that delivers smoother, brighter skin. In just a few uses, it reduces dullness and refines texture. It's strong, so best for those familiar with acids. A fantastic, affordable option for clearer, more even skin.

Great peeling solution
I love this product, there’s a clear “acid peel” sensation when applied, which isn’t too dissimilar from a professional treatment. I personally haven’t witnessed my skin “peeling, however, the texture of my skin always looks improved after use, and it’s a great help with clearing blemishes.

Amazing product
I love this skin peel, low key and fantastic for twice weekly skin pampers. The tingling feeling on your skin just gives you the confidence it's working. My skin feels fresh after use and a nice face mask for afterwards tops it off.

Go for it
I was sceptical about buying this as it was my first time using a peel & the reviews had said about it being very strong. I have been using once a week & it has given me such a fresh complexion. Wish I had tried sooner

Been using for years!
I've been using this product for years- I have sensitive skin and it gently exfoliates my skin with no irritation. You do need to follow instructions properly though and use a thick moisturiser afterwards.
