The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, 1 fl oz — Advanced exfoliant for brighter, smoother skin

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a professional‑strength at‑home exfoliant that resurfaces skin with a concentrated blend of AHAs and BHA for a brighter, more even complexion when used carefully.

This concentrated treatment combines high‑strength alpha‑hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta‑hydroxy acid (BHA) with supportive ingredients to remove dull surface cells and help clear pores. Formulated for experienced acid users, it is designed to be applied briefly and rinsed off. Because of its potent acidity and active ingredients, correct application, sun protection, and limited frequency are essential for safe use.

How should I use this peel safely at home?

Apply to clean, dry skin no more than once or twice weekly. Leave the solution on for up to 10 minutes, avoiding the eye area and any compromised skin, then rinse thoroughly. Always follow with broad‑spectrum sunscreen during the day and avoid other strong actives on the same night.

• Use on dry, cleansed face and neck only.
• Limit application time to 10 minutes; rinse with lukewarm water.
• Do not use on sensitive, peeling, or broken skin.
• Wear SPF and avoid prolonged sun exposure for a week after use.

What skin results can I reasonably expect?

With proper and infrequent use, the formula helps loosen and lift dead surface cells, promoting a smoother appearance and more even tone. Results vary by skin type and how consistently the product is used, and improvements are best maintained with sun protection and complementary gentle skincare.

• Smoother surface texture after several uses.
• Reduction in visible dullness and uneven tone over time.
• Helps clear pore congestion thanks to BHA penetration.
• Hydration support from hyaluronic crosspolymer to minimize dry tightness.

Who should avoid this solution and why?

This treatment is not intended for beginners in acid exfoliation or anyone with sensitive, inflamed, or broken skin. If you are using retinoids, prescription exfoliants, or have a history of strong reactions to acids, consult a professional before trying this product.

• Not for people new to chemical exfoliation.
• Avoid if skin is irritated, sunburned, or compromised.
• Pause other intense actives (retinoids, other peels) when using this.
• Stop use and seek advice if severe irritation occurs.

This formula blends glycolic acid (AHA) at high concentration with salicylic acid (BHA) and a Tasmanian pepperberry derivative included to help reduce irritation, plus pro‑vitamin B5, black carrot extract, and hyaluronic crosspolymer for supportive hydration. The solution’s pH (~3.6) is intentionally matched to the AHA chemistry for effective exfoliation; that strength is why experience and caution are necessary.

Who is this for? Experienced skincare users seeking intensive at‑home resurfacing to address stubborn dullness, uneven texture, and congested pores will find this product useful when incorporated responsibly into a routine. If you prefer gentler or daily exfoliation, or have reactive skin, choose a milder acid product and consult a skincare professional before upgrading to this concentrated peel.
