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 Nice
I have quite sensitive skin, so this did cause slight irritation for me. The actual product does work well though, but I am now using the Milky Toner for gentle exfoliation instead as it’s better suited to my skin type. If you don’t have sensitive skin, this is great!

Strong product
I would use it with caution as it is quite strong I would recommend a patch test before use

Too strong
This product is too strong for my sensitive skin :(. You might love it if your skin is not sensitive but otherwise I won't use it.

Everyone should have this!
This is an absolute essential in my skincare routine! Everyone should use it once per week and I recommend it to so many people! Your skin feels like glass after using and makes such a difference.

Amazing
This is a great product that I use weekly. It has significantly reduced pores and evened skin tone.

It’s ok
I probably wouldn’t buy it again and saw no difference based on all the viral videos I’ve seen. I’ll stick to moisturisers.

LOVE!!
This was the first product I ever tried when I was new to skincare and it completely changed my skin. My pores are reduced, it has settled my harsh acne and gives me a glow for days! I use this just once a week. I think it’s the best affordable weekly treatment x

AMAZING!
I have been through multiple bottles and it truly does wonders. It has left my skin tone very even and my pores are looking better than ever!

Don't see the hype
Bought twice. Nice and exfoliating but feels a bit aggressive, when you can just use BHA casually.
