Battle blemishes with The Ordinary AHA + BHA Peeling Solution, a potent resurfacing treatment that works to exfoliate and tone the skin for a more even and revitalised complexion.
The Ordinary AHA + BHA Peeling Solution combines 30% alpha hydroxyl acids, which exfoliate the top layers of the skin, and 2% beta hydroxyl salicylic acid, which works deeper to unclog pores, helping to minimise the look of blemishes and uneven texture.
The treatment is infused with Tasmanian pepperberry to help reduce the irritation that can occur with acid use. The addition of hyaluronic acid works to hydrate the skin for a comfortable feel. Enriched with vitamin B5 and black carrot, this treatment helps nourish and protect the skin to promote a smooth, rejuvenated complexion.

Summary of Customer Ratings & Reviews
Quick resurfacing fix
For the right skin type this is a dream of a product. I used to use a different, very expensive, exfoliating mask and this is very similar and just as effective but so much cheaper. Actually, I prefer this liquid format as it is easier to apply and remove. I don’t always use it for for 10 minutes, sometimes just 2 minutes is enough. The results are smoother, glowy skin. I often use it at night, remove and then leave my skin without applying anything else overnight. Or it’s great for a pre-event glow up as it’s so quick to use. Will keep repurchasing.
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Reduce Dullness, Uneven Skin Texture, Visible Pores
Recommends this product: Yes
holy grail
holy grail product with many repurchases, priced nicely and I use it for hyperpigmentation around my body. skin feels exfoliated without over stripping or hurting skin barrier. Personally recommending to use once a week. highly recommended for deep exfoliatimg treatment
Best Use: Uneven Skin Texture
Recommends this product: Yes
Disappointed
The formula of this product changed. I used to love it. Now it is watery and has zero benefits.
Excellent product!
It is one of the TO bestseller for a reason. This peeling solution represents a potent cocktail of glycolic, lactic, tartaric, salicylic and citric acids. TO offers us possibility to use such a product and mentioned that it’s “an advanced-level exfoliating peel”. It is expected that you should do at least small research and understand how it works, why it is needed for you and what can be in side effects if you have sensitive skin or compromised barrier. If you do not what to do this research, it is better to proceed to some ready “brightening creams” in colorful boxes with colorful price tags. Somebody can be scared that it contains 30% AHA. Typically, acids with concentration above 20% are utilized in beauty clinics with strict protocols. However, as it was discussed in some beauty communities, one can see in the full list of ingredients there is “Sodium Hydroxide” in the third place. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has a high pH of 13–14 and, thus, neutralize acids, so final acid concentration can be much lower. Perhaps, it is made as a “fool-proof” solution for users who want to use advance-level actives but do not care about details. I read reviews to this product and was shocked that some people use it for several days in a row or multiple times a week -- with 30% AHA it would be very painful ;) And again, it should be considered as a chemical exfoliator, not a product for “skin glow” (go for VitC or products with propanediol in ingredients). So, you should understand skin renewal cycle and do not stress you skin and its normal 24/7 work -- “What? She wants exfoliation again?!!” Also, it is recommended to use it once a week – this recommendation assumes that this product is the only chemical exfoliator in your routine. If you use glycolic toner or lactic/mandelic/other acids on your face during a week, it means that you do not need to use this peeling solution too, as it can be too much for your skin. It is better to prioritize one acid/exfoliator and use it solo in some repeatable patterns (once in 5 or 10/15 days depending on the skin reaction). Also, red color helps you to control where you already applied product and how thick is the layer. BTW, I found that thin layer application works better for me than thick ones. I use this peeling solution for more than one year. It is the TO product with direct acid that my skin prefers more. After couple of uses, I saw that greyish tone went away. It does not help much with hyperpigmentation, but it works as an important element in my skin routine. For many months, my skin tolerates it very well with 10-15 min exposure once a week. This fall I added ascorbic acids and retinoids several days a week, so skin started to be very sensitive and reactive to strong actives, I have to reduce time to 7-8 min and increase time interval to 10-14 days. So, be patient and see skin reaction, especially if your routine includes other strong actives that have accumulative and prolonged action. After use, you can see “acid glow” skin effect, so you need to calm your skin – use some simple soothing toner and light moisturizers. Don’t use other strong actives, serums after it during that night, let your skin restore. Don’t forget about sunscreen during day!
great product love it!
