The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is an intensive chemical exfoliating serum formulated to lift away dull surface buildup, clear congested pores, and restore a brighter-looking complexion for experienced acid users dealing with uneven tone and texture. When skin begins to look tired, rough, or blemish-prone, this distinctive red treatment offers a focused weekly reset that helps reveal the smoother-looking skin beneath.
Key Benefits:
Powerful Dual-Acid Exfoliation: A concentrated blend of alpha hydroxy acids exfoliates the skin’s surface, while salicylic acid works within pores to help reduce congestion and the appearance of blemishes.
Rinse-Off Treatment Experience: The lightweight, free-flowing serum spreads easily and works in just minutes before rinsing away, making intensive exfoliation simple to incorporate into an evening routine.
Brighter, Smoother-Looking Skin: With careful, consistent use, it helps improve the appearance of dullness, textural irregularities, uneven tone, and visible pore congestion.
Specifications:
Ideal For: Experienced acid users with dullness, uneven texture, congested pores, or blemish-prone skin; not suitable for sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.
Texture / Finish: Lightweight liquid serum with a rinse-off finish; skin feels refreshed and prepared for gentle hydration afterward.
Key Ingredients: Glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids; 2% salicylic acid; Tasmanian pepperberry derivative. The formula also includes hyaluronic acid crosspolymer, vitamin B5, and black carrot to support a more comfortable treatment experience.
How to Use:
In the evening, apply a small, even layer to thoroughly clean, completely dry skin, avoiding the eye area and any broken or irritated skin. Leave on for no longer than 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, and follow with a gentle moisturizer. Use no more than once or twice weekly, do not combine in the same routine with other strong exfoliating acids or retinoids, and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
For those ready to move beyond a basic exfoliation step, The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution delivers a precise, high-strength treatment without turning the routine into a complicated ritual. Used responsibly, it can become the weekly moment that clears away the look of accumulated dullness and helps the complexion appear more refined, balanced, and confidently radiant.
