The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results... and anything but ordinary is the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (30ml), which unites AHAs and BHAs to offer deep exfoliation and improve the look of blemishes for overall skin radiance.
Congested skin has met its match with the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (30ml), which issues powerful exfoliation to improve the appearance of skin texture and tone.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) exfoliate the skin's topmost layer for a brighter, more even appearance, while beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) exfoliate the skin more deeply to clear pore congestion. Combined in one unique solution, these advanced acids offer potent exfoliation to lessen the look of fine lines, smooth skin texture and boost radiance. This stellar solution also features Tasmanian pepperberry to reduce the appearance of stressed skin, as well as vitamin B5 to help skin feel soft and smooth. Could you ask for more...?

Use in the evening, no more than twice a week. Apply evenly on cleansed, dry skin (avoiding the eye contour) and leave on for no longer than 10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. This formula contains a very high concentration of free acids. The Ordinary recommends use only if you are an experienced user of acid exfoliation, and not to use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.

A waste of money
There was a slight tingling feeling for like 10 seconds but this high concentration of acids would make you think that it would burn more. My skin didn't peel, didn't get red. This peeling didn't do anything at all. I was using it twice a week for a month and didn't notice any difference. I do trust the company's claims about the high percentage of acids in the product, however, it seems like because of an overwhelming amount of other ingredients the ph-level of the product is too high to do anything to your skin. It's also not a fun process putting this substance on and more importantly washing this red thing off.

Unbelievable
First of all, can we talk about the price?? I've tried so many expensive skincare products before and none of them, I mean none, gave me the instant results this mask did. I trusted the science behind it since I'm a salicylic acid user and know the benefits of acids but this just took it to the next level. This needs to be the star of your beauty regimen and you will thank me for it.

Amazing!
Always get complimented on how great my skin looks after I’ve used this product! Slight tingling when you first put it on. Incredible value for money - I will definitely be re-purchasing!

Good mask
Really special and not like the texture of other masks. Very efficient and the only mask I need. I have mixed skin and no problem with sensitivity. My skin is more beautiful after only 3 uses.

great product!
Been 3-4 week since I have been using it regularly. Twice per week for 10 mins only. You get a slight tingling or burning sensation as you leave it to soak for 10 mins. If you have sensitive skin, your skin might be a little red after washing. But I haven't had a break out in the past 4 weeks which isn't usually the case. Also, use moisturiser after washing the mask off your face.

Best thing to happen to my skin
I am now on my second bottle of this stuff and it has transformed my skin. Using this has improved the texture of my skin so much and my face is so smooth now. My blackheads are gone and I haven't been breaking out at all. Any potential spots are subsided and my acne scars have improved a lot. I use this twice a week for 10 minutes. Everyone needs this, especially if, like me, you have oily and acne-prone skin.

Game changer
I have tried so many products over the years. This, hands down, is the s**t! I'm obsessed. I could be a rep for The Ordinary with the amount I have been preaching about this product!

Mixed Feelings
Bought this a few months ago and can say that I am very pleased with how it leaves my skin looking. I can see how glowy it looks straight after one use and it has helped with acne scarring. However, I have experienced slight burning on my skin when I applied it over a spot, which left me a bit apprehensive to use again. I wouldn't advise using if you are having a break out.

Powerful stuff!
Really works. I use retinol so have to be careful I don't over-sensitise my skin. With this in mind, I use this once a week and only for a max of ten mins. Boy does it work. Really bright and glowy afterwards. If I don't use retinol, I use this more often. Suffice to say it sure does take off the surface dead skin cells and leaves the skin bright afterwards. You definitely need SPF if you're using this one.
