The Ordinary Peeling Solution (AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution) is an advanced exfoliating treatment designed to deliver powerful results similar to a professional peel, right from your bathroom. This water‑based formula combines a high concentration of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids to exfoliate the skin’s surface and promote a more radiant complexion. It also includes beta hydroxy acid (BHA)—salicylic acid—to penetrate deep into pores, helping to clear congestion, reduce blackheads, and support a smoother skin texture.
The formula is complemented by soothing and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, pro‑vitamin B5, and a Tasmanian pepperberry derivative to help minimize irritation commonly associated with strong acids. When used correctly—typically no more than once or twice a week in the evening—this peeling solution helps improve dullness, uneven tone, and the appearance of fine lines, leading to a clearer, more refined complexion. For best results, always follow with broad‑spectrum sunscreen during the day, as acids can increase sun sensitivity.
💡 Usage Tips: Apply to clean, dry skin, leave on for up to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Do not use on sensitive, compromised, or peeling skin. Always patch‑test before first use and use daily sun protection.
