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...?
Glycolic Acid, Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Daucus Carota Sativa Extract, Propanediol, Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Citric Acid, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Xanthan gum, Polysorbate 20, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
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.

Great!
I have very sensitive skin but thought I’d try it anyways. I left it on for 5 minutes to be safe and my skin feels smooth.

Best Face mask ever!!!
I have always struggled with sensitive acne prone skin and I've used this once followed up with niacinamide 10% + zinc 2%. my skin has never looked so smooth and clear! my skin is not red at all and the mask didn’t make me break out or irritated. it was super easy to wipe away and it left my skin so supple. my fungal acne has almost vanished after one use so if you struggle with small forehead bumps like me, go for it! it’s so good and it’s so cost efficient. although it doesn’t smell the best, it’s so worth it!

Impressed!
I was sucked into buying this after seeing the reviews on Insta and I thought whilst in isolation why not! My skin can occasionally react to certain products so I was slightly nervous putting this on my face but the most I felt was a slight tingle.The result is impressive - my skin is super soft and has a nice glow to it. For the price it definitely worth a try.

Amazing, but be careful if you have sensitive skin!!
I have super sensitive skin and was super scared to try this product, but had heard people raving over it for acne scars so I had to give it a try anyway. The first time I used it, my skin was super angry at me I won't lie, it burnt like hell and wasn't comfortable at all. After the second time, it didn't hurt nearly as much. However, now a month and a bit in, my skin doesn't react at all anymore, and my acne scars have gone away significantly after using it twice a week. My skin feels so smooth afterwards and my acne scarring definitely is slowly fading. So if you can take a little pain, I would definitely recommend.

It's alright.
It did indeed make my skin feel flawless, very light and smooth but it does hurt my face when I put it on for a maximum of 10 minutes. Can someone please tell me if it is normal for your skin to burn a bit or is it just me?

100% STAPLE FOR LIFE
This product has quite simply solved all my skin problems. I am not saying I never have spots anymore, but I can actually manage my clear skin now! I use as a mask once a week, and I actually use as a double cleanser every other morning. I have really clogged congested clogged pores and am prone to breakouts. But since introducing this to my skin routine it has 100 percent improved my complexion!! sooo happy xx

Incredible!!!
It leaves my skin smooth and soft after every use and I would highly recommend this to anyone! But please do not overuse this product as it very strong. Also don’t use when your skin is even the slightest bit wet because it will burn and finally make sure you wear suncream because this exfoliator will make your skin more sensitive to the suns damaging rays. And for the price, you can’t not buy it!!!!

Bad breakout
This product broke my skin out VERY badly after a couple weeks of using it, painful breakouts in areas that wouldn’t usually breakout for me. I have never known my skin to be overly sensitive however I think this product was too harsh for my skin and therefore did more bad for me than good. Would not recommend this product for use on skin with active acne still prominent, however could be good for acne scarring or non sensitive skin.

Amazing Chemical Exfoliation
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution & 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil were my first purchase from TO. I use this once a week, as my deep chemical exfoliation because physical exfoliation aggravates acne. To de-toxic my face, I use the Aztec Clay mask. Then AHA+BHA Solution & followed by Rose Hip Seed Oil. The next morning, I wake up with newly rejuvenated skin. As I was totally satisfied with both of my purchases, I spent another 60 GBP on TO alone.

Alright
I've been using this for a little over a month now and have seen no real results. Really wanted to like it but just doesn't do an awful lot for my skin! Stings a lot if you put too much on.
