The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Advanced Exfoliating Peel for Brighter Skin

I absolutely love this peeling solution! From the first use, it delivered exactly what it promises: brighter, smoother, and more even-looking skin. The combination of 30% AHAs and 2% BHA works powerfully to exfoliate both the surface and deeper within pores, helping with dullness, texture, and congestion without the downtime of a clinical peel. The texture is lightweight and easy to apply, and even though you feel a tingling sensation, that is normal with strong acids. When I followed the directions and left it on for 10 minutes, it never felt overly harsh. After rinsing, my skin felt noticeably smoother and more refreshed, with an immediate glow that lasted into the next day. I also love how affordable it is for the results it delivers. This professional-level exfoliant feels like a luxury treatment at a budget-friendly price. Just remember to use it no more than once or twice a week, always after cleansing and before moisturizing, and always follow up with sunscreen during the day. This is perfect for anyone looking for real exfoliation results, brighter and more even skin, or a budget-friendly but effective at-home peel. A few tips: patch test first, use at night on dry skin, and avoid it if your skin is sensitive or compromised. I would definitely recommend this as a standout exfoliant in any skincare routine.

I use this once a week, and my face feels cleansed and restored after washing. I use as directed, 10 minutes MAX and then applying serums/moisturizer after. However, due to the intensity of the acid and pain, I DO NOT recommend for beginners. As someone who’s been using this brand’s serums and strong acids for a while, I would rate the pain as 9/10 - a stinging and burning feeling. Definitely not for beginners. However, I’m left with clear pores and firm skin! Worth the money and very effective.

My face was extremely dark and since using it my face has become brighter, it's worth the money as you'll have it for months to use because a drop goes a far way. The quality is yop tier. It absorbs well into the skin. Because of active ingredients please remember to apply sunscreen.

Works very well! I recommend you only try it twice a week and do a spot test on your shoulder to test for reactions. This stuff is pretty strong for at home exfoliation. I had no problem with it. I rarely feel a stinging and it's super light if I feel it. It's perfect for the price!

This peeling solution really does what it says—it helps smooth skin texture and leaves my face feeling cleaner and more refreshed after use. I noticed a brighter look and a reduction in dullness when used correctly and not too often. I’m giving it 4 stars because it is very strong and can feel a bit intense on sensitive skin, even with short usage time. You definitely need to follow instructions carefully and moisturize well after. Overall, great results, just not for everyday use!

I loved this product. It’s easy to use, feels great on the skin, and delivers really good results. I would definitely buy it again.

I’ve been using The Ordinary AHA + BHA serum and it’s been very effective for smoothing texture and brightening my skin. After a few uses, my skin felt noticeably softer and looked clearer, especially around areas prone to clogged pores. Over time, I also saw improvement in my hyperpigmentation, with dark spots looking lighter and more even. The formula is strong, so there is a slight tingling sensation during application, but it’s manageable if you follow the directions and don’t leave it on too long. It’s not for daily use, but 1 to 2 times a week works well. Overall, a great exfoliating treatment for the price

This little thing is my holy grail. My skin is extremely acne-prone and could generally be considered 'combination' (oily in the summer, super dry in the winter). My typical routine is The Ordinary glycolic acid toner, Good Molecules discoloration correcting serum, The Ordinary niacinamide 10% / zinc 1%, occasionally The Ordinary salicyic acid 2% during breakouts, and a good moisturizer (changes seasonally). This has been my daily routine for about 3 years, so my skin is accustomed to direct acids. This peeling solution stings a little bit for the first minute or so, and then doesn't feel like anything at all. Helps significantly with breakouts, acne scars, brightness, and skin texture. If you dermaplane, wait a day or two before you use this mask! From experience, if you dermaplane and use this mask afterward on the same day, it will sting/hurt and it will look like you have yourself a full-face chemical burn for a little while after you wash it off. Scent isn't strong but also isn't great (smells chemical-y). I use this 1-2x per week, follow with my typical routine, and one bottle lasts about 4-5 months! A little goes a long way.
